He posted a picture of him and his business partner that said it was him and his boyfriend and they were celebrating 5 years together.

He later edited it to say him and his “boyfriend (bet mate)” and posted another post straight up saying he wasn’t gay but thanking everyone for their support anyway.

Nah mate we had it in the bag from the start :sludgepal:

But yeah it did seem like the umps had a vendetta against the Windies for some reason. Also Hetmyer getting run out in that silly mixup didn't help their cause nor did Starc's death bowling (though I had fallen asleep by that point).

Yes...

Some reason...

1 off 26 is a pretty cool score in an ODI.

Made a last minute, lightning fast trip over to the UK to watch the Black Caps bat. Sitting at the ground hoping I'll see Munro and Guppy bludgeon the Afghan bowlers

So England have Aussie, India and NZ to come so there is a real chance they won't make the semis now.

Need to drop Munro and give Nicholls a shot at least. Latham to open with Guptill.

Surely having a bowl while there is some cloud cover would've been playing to our strengths?

Last 5 ODIs at Lords have been won by the team batting first not to mention the trend at the rest of this world cup.

England bat so deep you feel that with every wicket they're either going to run away or be hosed by a wicket.
