ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

[NinjaFletch]

If Roy can't come back I honestly don't know who England will pick. Would you trust Denly as an opener against an elite side? If not you're looking at someone from the county game (can only think of Livingstone tbh) and they haven't even played for the one-day side.

Will be Vince.

I do think there's an argument for opening with Buttler though. They might be more inclined to do it if Mooen was in any sort of form.

Windies did get fecked that game. Shouldn't be sacked for it.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Who do they play there today?

Guess they will do everything they can to get Roy out there. If not, as others have said, might be Moeen.

 

[paulscholes18]

What did he say?

Called the umpiring atrocious in the Aus V WI game, which is was, the umpire had a witch hunt vs Gayle

 

[Snowjoe]

Lovely

 

[NinjaFletch]

MY BOY LIAM PLUNKETT

 

[Skills]

Big wicket. Keeping Hope out there is good as well

 

[JohnnyKills]

Will be Vince.

If Roy's injured they'll have to add someone to the squad. As you say, Vince will slot into the team but they'll need to call someone else up.

Doubt they'll want to waste their trump card against the new ball.

 

[JohnnyKills]

GET IN! Love Bairstow.

 

[Jagga7]

Game over, England tooooooo goood!

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Plunkers. Big wickets at the right times.

 

[paulscholes18]

Yes Plunky

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Game over, England tooooooo goood!

No chance particularly if Roy is injured,

He's not playing is he? They picked Plunkett over him.

 

[Snowjoe]

Ooooooo that looks close on first look

 

[Skills]

Pooran must be extremely highly rated because his record is fecking shit.

Depends on the extent of the injury. If there's a chance he'll be back for the semis which are nearly four weeks away they won't call a replacement up and hope that he can be back in time.

 

[Jagga7]

I have full faith in this team.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Yep, exactly. That's what I was saying earlier - they'll hope to muddle through and have him fit for the big games. They'll only call up a replacement if he's ruled out of the tournament.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Review this.

 

[Fully Fledged]

Yes.

 

[Cloud7]

Fecking abysmal showing

 

[JohnnyKills]

Yep, great review.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Looked out on first showing that.

Not sure why it wasn't given

 

[paulscholes18]

Need to question the umpire why he didn’t give it out, looked plump

 

[Skills]

Hopeless

 

[NinjaFletch]

Looked fecking plum in real time. No idea how that wasn't given.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Looked fecking plum in real time. No idea how that wasn't given.

Looked a bit leggy to me but yeah, would have definitely reviewed it.

 

[paulscholes18]

Hopeless

5th in the world my eye is he

 

[2mufc0]

This game is over then.

 

[Snowjoe]

Looked a bit leggy to me but yeah, would have definitely reviewed it.

That was my only doubt on the live look but was surprised it wasn’t given

 

[Fully Fledged]

This game is over then.

It shouldn't be. Windies need these 2 to kick on though.

 

[JohnnyKills]

It shouldn't be. Windies need these 2 to kick on though.

Russell still in the dressing room too.

 

[Fully Fledged]

Russell still in the dressing room too.

Yeah.

 

[Samid]

He was right though.

100 %. Just surprised ICC didn't take action given their censorship policy.

Windies did get fecked that game. Shouldn't be sacked for it.

Commentators got a warning from ICC after that game saying you can't criticize umpires on air. He basically responded by telling them to sod off:

"If those umpires yesterday were Fifa officials, they would have been told to pack their bags and head home. They would not have been given another World Cup game to officiate. As a former cricketer, I think cricket should be held to a higher standard. Is the objective to protect the umpires even when they do a bad job?"

Holding added that such requests are why "commentators are being more and more compromised by controlling organisations to the point of censorship"

 

[Cloud7]

We need a mature innings, ideally two, from the two most immature players in the team. Great situation to be in.

He then said tell me if you want me to got Cardiff to commentate or go home.

From Jonathan Agnew on the BBC: An update from the England dressing room: Jason Roy has tightness to his left hamstring and he is being assessed.

If it's just tightness, he should be fine. Imagine the England medical staff are telling all the players to come off if they have any discomfort so they don't mess themselves up for the business end of the tournament.

Yeah, sounds like he might have come off before doing any serious damage.

Hopefully anyway.

Shai Hope making sure Windies aren't missing Darren Bravo.
