That Bresnan delivery - how weird.

And not even a wide as Taylor chased after it... Laughing

England are favourites for the Champions Trophy, they said. Scoring quickly in English conditions against two white balls is impossible, they said......

by beamer Sun 02 Jun 2013, 13:40

Just give us some English weather (and our first choice bowlers)...

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 13:51

And better still, get JGK to write the Poms off.

Dernkes and Woahbach - the 7-an-over-and-lucky-it's-not-more twins.

Guptill breaks Jay Meow's record for highest Snoozer JAMODI score v England.

by Henry Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:04

FFS, has there HONESTLY been a worse English ODI bowler than Dernbach?

by beamer Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:06

Worst economy rate of anyone to take 20 ODI wickets I think.

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:12

Trotty will be getting REALLY angry about dropping these catches.

Look out New Zealand: a human whirlwind is coming your way when England bat.

Whoawhoawhoa negs.. stop moaning. We've done well to keep them to 322 in 48 overs.

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:14

We have!

Brilliant!

Who bowls the last over? If I was Cook I'd be tempted to just bowl it myself...

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:18

Bell.

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:19

No, sorry, it's Dernbach who has earned that honour.

by beamer Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:20

Hopefully his last one in international cricket...

They should just do a Gavaskar, Cook and Trott bat out the 50 overs for 100.

by Brass Monkey Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:22

359/3.

118 partnership in 8.2 overs.

Dernbach, Woakes and Bresnan going at well over 7s.

Hey, but you know what? We're all excited about the chase.

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:23

Nonsense. Bell, Cook and Trott will make mincemeat of that derisory total.

by PeterCS Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:24

That last one was in response to beamer.

I AM excited about this England side, and its potential.

Yes. Only once has such a score been chased down. But I'm certain that, once we've taken the shine off that nasty new ball, we'll be quids in.

To be fair, who can they bring in? Ravi Bopara? That Irish bloke? Not him, the other one. Johnny B?

Actually, the batting is a man light (Buttler at six? That's about his top score) and Woakes is a worse bowler than Ravi, whose dobby medium pacers at least shape a bit in to the right handers, so he should play really at the expense of the Warwickshire cripple who even Simon "big up" Hughes concedes is never going to be international class.

Moan, moan, moan. You've turned into General Moan.

Look, it's a lovely day, right?

Not even that nice any more. Clouded over. Bit chilly. Cameron's Britain.

by Brass Monkey Sun 02 Jun 2013, 14:28

Positive, please Dello. There's no use in deriding the quite frankly ignorant, naïve and ill thought out selections. If you've got nothing chirpy to say, f*ck off.

Probably since there's an ICC tournament starting in a week using the Kookaburra and it'd be a bit ridiculous to play a warm up series with different equipment.
