Root didn't review but let's be real, only Watson would've reviewed that.

We are in with a chance.

They got so good at chasing 350-400 that they forgot how to chase scores in the 200s.

If they had the pitches to hit 400 on they'd probably be fine, but they've been nurdlers.

The ICC have clearly colluded with the bcci to ensure India win.

His whole career at every level he has played he just occasionally goes into god mode with the white ball. He averaged likd 8 across a state tournament once. Shame its never really translated to the red ball to the same degree

We lost to NZ in the group stage last world cup and it forced some changes like swapping Smith and Watson in the batting line up. Smith then scored 2 50s and a 100 in the knockout stages and was our best batsman

Surely England would get more value out of bowling Root for 10 overs than whatever they get out of Ali right now.

Time to reveal the last 4 years have been a big practical joke from everyone to fool England into thinking they were actually good. Remember when they made 481? Lol!
