Cricket World Cup 2023

[Spymaster]

Maxwell running (sort of) again now.

Yep. For a few hours I had some slight hope for one of the silly-scores I placed last week.



Damn you Maxwell!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

6646 done

[Wilf]

Malingering cunt!

 

[agricola]

beyond incredible

 

[Sasaferrato]

I really feel for Afghanistan, but what an innings from Maxwell.

 

[Wilf]

Hard to compare, but that was up with the Botham test in terms of turnarounds.

 

[planetgeli]

Ah wank. Would have been nice. Couldn't watch it. Kinda glad I didn't but that seems churlish given Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

 

[planetgeli]

Wow. There was far more interest on here yesterday for Afghanistan than there is for England today. You bunch of Taliban.

Have we reached the position where we give no shits at all? (England have. They sent the fielding coach to do the press conference. His name is Carl Hopkinson btw and no, he didn't know why he had to do it either).

Or are we too scared to say anything as Bairstow goes cheaply again and whoops, there goes Root for a crap 28 - again.

Malan v the Netherlands it is.

 

[Spymaster]

To be fair, I'm only watching because I stuck a chunk on Holland yesterday.

 

[Spymaster]

Malan v the Netherlands it is.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Kind of expecting a collapse now Malan is out. Could be a day England win big, though.

Malan was set for a huge one.

 

[Spymaster]

Could be a day England win big, though.

Of course it will be. I guaranteed that by putting money on Holland.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Brook gone now. Could be throwing this away.

 

[Spymaster]

Tease.

 

[planetgeli]

Declare! Now! It'll stop the collapse.

 

[Petcha]

The commentators on Sky still going on about them aiming for well over 300

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Buttler's just gone isn't he? Walking wicket.

 

[1927]

Wish i was home to watch this debacle!

 

[planetgeli]

Buttler's just gone isn't he? Walking wicket.

Just before he fell I was going to post "who believes Buttler will get 10?" That was optimistic.

Hope Moeen proves me wrong but he too, right now, is a walking wicket.

 

[Petcha]

The Dutch commentator said earlier most of the Dutch players get paid about 100 euros a day

Meanwhile the millionaires on the other side stagger on.

 

[Spymaster]

Buttler's just gone isn't he? Walking wicket.

Dolly to mid-off.

Again.

They're all living down to expectations.

Get Malan and you've got England.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It's the same story every innings. Stick or twist? Not sure. And unable to just keep things ticking along for a bit.

It's like it's 400 or nothing.

 

[Petcha]

It must be a very very depressing dressing room to be in. Complete humiliation. The coach won't even front up to press conferences now.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I think I want England to lose now. You can't keep doing the same thing expecting the outcome to change.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

And half this team is in their 30s and on a brand new 3 year contract.

 

[Petcha]

So who's going to get 4th spot then. Is it in NZ's hands?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It must be a very very depressing dressing room to be in. Complete humiliation. The coach won't even front up to press conferences now.

Yeah fielding coach? Fielding is the only bit that hasn't been awful.

What is he going to take us through his catching routines?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

So who's going to get 4th spot then. Is it in NZ's hands?

In short yes. Beat SL and they're almost certainly through.
