How the hell do you lose by 9 wickets after getting 300+? England are truly awful.

English bowlers are the worst. Surely out of the British Empire they can steal someone from another Commonwealth nation to boost their bowling ranks?

Maybe England should ask their Olympic team if they can get in on their doping tech.

That Scottish guy Josh Davey is pretty good. Bowling av of 18, along with a batting av of 26, I'm surprised he's not playing for England already.

i'd rather play for scotland; they win games sometimes e: pakistan haven't collapsed in a total heap, which is a shame. i'd lol at a test team losing all their games which pakistan could do if they lose to zimbabwe (they'll probably beat the uae, but they'll lose to south africa and ireland) IceAgeComing fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Mar 1, 2015 |

While I don't believe KP being there would make a huge difference, the fact that he's not makes this whole farce much worse for the ECB.

Here is my match report: Decided to get shitfaced as the Australian wickets fell because we were all having a good time. Unfortunately this meant I was extremely exhausted by the time the 40 minute break was over. Crowe didn't even get to do a lap of honour around the Park, they put up screens did his presentation immediately in front of the new stand which meant gently caress all people saw it. Someone needs to ask the Aussies how they can reconcile a bodyline ball with the outpouring of bullshit after Phil Hughes was killed. That was not a catch. People who whine about ODI cricket at Eden Park need to eat a dick. The atmosphere owned, the crowd owned and the field is the same size for both teams. It just means your captain has to set a decent field and your bowlers have to be able to bowl. In the end, the size of the field had no impact on the result whatsoever.

Game was boring as gently caress, so people were attempting to amuse themselves - security stepped in and kicked out 6 people for yelling "Root is a wanker" and some dude in a pink bunny suit (that everyone obviously loved) for starting a Mexican wave. Also apparently they ejected Leigh Hart from the ground yesterday...?

When McCullum is dancing around this way and that I don't see any issue with the occasional ball aimed at the gloves. It sux that he got hit, and if there is a real injury there it will ruin the world cup, but the tactics are fine.
