Seven down.

 

[Spymaster]

Bunch of fucking cunts. Fucking shameful.

Turning it off.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Mayhem caused by the bowling of * checks notes * Angelo Mathews.

Shades of De grandhomme in 2019.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Woeful. Simply woeful!

 

[Spymaster]

Woeful. Simply woeful!

Far too polite QoGs.

This is all in their heads. We've got some great players out there; they haven't all just turned shit at the same time.

Willey and Rashid can bat. Wood must be the best number 11 in the comp.

250 still on!

 

[Sasaferrato]

Just turned on the cricket. WTAF?

Sorry, did you mean 150?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

or maybe let's just give them another wicket.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Should have a swing now and see where it gets them.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Watching that catch from Woakes and it was an awful image but it looked out to me.

As they said on comms, doing away with the soft signal gives the third ump a problem when the images are poor.

 

[Petcha]

So that's the lowest all out score on that ground apparently.. in 33 overs. Jason Roy must be pissing himself somewhere.

Prison, is my suggestion.

Buttler while many say he has a brilliant cricket mind, is clearly not a leader of men. I sense Moeen’s recent comments are a nudge to let the powers that he’s still about if needed.

The pair of them were out softly today, though. Every single England batter is woefully out of touch.

Wonder if those central contracts that were announced yesterday have been signed yet.

Was just thinking that. Yes, they have. They didn't announce them until they had everyone's signature.

 

[Sasaferrato]

That was an appalling display by England.

 

[Petcha]

I've no idea who the manager/coach whatever you call him is but surely the buck stops with him. Terrible selection, chopping and changing. Unmotivated players. Contrast that with the Test team.

Agreed. Arrogance isn't the word I'd use either.

 

[Wilf]

Beyond knowing Buttler is captain, I've no idea who England's management team is for the one day stuff. To be honest, it's probably not worth finding out who they are as they won't be in post in a couple of weeks.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Well done to Sri Lanka, though. Excellent performance from them with bat and ball and in the field. They're missing several key players as well.

Reminds me of the interviews prior to the ashes where we went to Oz and got trounced after winning at home.

I didn't tune in at all today. Sounds like I had a lucky escape. I think that the team wanted 2 months in India like a hole in the head. There mission has been to get on the earliest plane.

 

[Sasaferrato]

SA to win?

 

[Petcha]

I'm assuming Baz doesn't want the job but he's the obvious candidate. And yeh, I've no idea who the management team is either.

 

[Sasaferrato]

WOW! That was a six and a half!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

SA are playing like England used to. Blast away with confidence and trust that if you don't come off, the next batter will.

Pakistan need wickets soon.

They do, but are toiling a bit.

However, as we speak...
