England cricket

We nearly threw that away with some poor cricket in the middle overs but Wood, Woakes and Curran bowled particularly well and that swung the game back to us.
Our run rate is healthy too and is much better than the Crims run rate. |

Who’s in front of their telly at this time on a Sunday morning?
Come on England, I’d love to see us as double World champions, especially as it would piss the Crims off when we have a huge celebration in their backyard! |

"Ben Stokes is just phenomenal, always delivers under the most intense pressure."
I wasn't saying that when he opened up with a wide and a no ball... But yeah.. Balls of steel that man. Always gets us there. Some amazing performances too. Sam.. Well done.. And to Pakistan too. What mental support |

"Is it fair to say England got over the line virtue of a dodgy ankle?
Great game to listen to.. 
No... They scored more runs in 20 overs than the opposition. "
I gathered that, i meant the injury to the Pakistani fast bowler allowed Stokes and Ali to take the game away from them which is of course part and parcel of any sport..

Sometimes you just have to give credit where its due. We played well. Better than them. And we won |

Definitely a big loss at a key moment of the game. Stokes was looking vulnerable at that point.
They're a great side Pakistan but overall England have the edge on them and that's how it played out. Rashid's wicket maiden was awesome. |

You could take the view that it was poor team selection from Pakistan - not having a better 6th bowler option in the event of injury, or one of their main howlers having an off day. Ultimately, they gambled to strengthen their batting, and it didn't pay off. Such is the nature of gambling, you don't always win! It's a shame, because would have been an even better finish, seeing that battle with him in full flight against Stokes. I think the game, and tournament, deserved that as a potentially game-deciding finale. |

"Incredible game of cricket
Playing so well at the moment, a delight to watch "
Amazing the difference with pretty much the same set of players and a coach who encourages them to go out and express themselves and trust in their talent. The rugby lot could do with a bit of that magic. |
