The Natural Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) England 156 all out, 10-111, 33.2 overs. Embarrassment. Edited October 26, 2023 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 It's not a title defence as "defence" doesn't fit England's mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 England lose to India, four defeats in a row at this World Cup. Five for the first time at a World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 It is the fourth time in a row England have been bowled out in this competition and they are getting worse. Against Afghanistan they made 215, against South Africa 170, Sri Lanka 156, India 129. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I was listening to the India innings this morning, thinking that England had done pretty good to keep India below 250. Who was the fool? (Actually, it was England who are the fools.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 I can't even say England in Shambles (TM) because this has gone way beyond shambles. Megashambles? Gigashambles? Omnishambles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The last few games, they look completely flummoxed by the idea of having to hit the ball with their bats, so that they can score points - known as 'runs' - without getting 'out' Stop me if I'm getting too technical please, Jos.

DangerMark Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Sri Lanka, who are at least above England as this stand because they've actually won two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Kohli ties Tendulkar's ODI centuries record. Somehow, this video seems appropriate when we consider Kohli's career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EyyEBGLNGs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Also, South Africa were taken to the Jadeja Zone and made to look like they were England, trying to chase. It turns out that India have other, non-Kohli players; it's just the Indian public don't seem to care unless they have a bat.

SirFozzie Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 We've had people run out in a mankading style before, but we've never had a player timed out before. Cricket World Cup 2023: Angelo Mathews controversially timed out as Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka - BBC Sport Needless to say, things are a bit spicy.

Cleavy Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 at least Matthews took Shakib's wicket in the 2nd innings. would have been more spicy if he was still captain and had to join Shakib for the post match interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Hoooooboy Australia are in deep stinky doo doo against Afghanistan, who will move into the knockout places with a win... edit: also, Shakib's World Cup is over, as he fractured a finger while batting.

Goitre Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 ...one-legged Maxwell taking the Aussies from 7-91 to 7-241 chasing 292. Amazing innings, especially once he got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Yup. Amazing innings, considering the circumstances https://www.icc-cricket.com/video/3772821 179 runs out of 202 in the 8th wicket partnership. (Cummins had 12, 11 extras) watch that video. He can't even step into these shots near the end, just swinging for the fences. Edited November 7, 2023 by SirFozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
