Bairstow isn’t a natural keeper either though.

I know Col but I think he has the edge, for what it is worth I don’t think they will.

Reckon it’s a toss of a coin between them myself and I’d rather Bairstow just focuses on his batting, including in test cricket.

Fair point. 

[Mudface]

Bairstow's too excitable behind the stumps as well, he's very quick to call for reviews, Buttler's a lot steadier. Foakes is better than both of them, but he's more one for Test cricket.

I predict England break the World Cup drought.

 

 

[Jairzinho]

I predict they'll lose to India or the West Indies in the semis.

 

 

Pakistan have been absolutely pathetic. 80 for 7 with 30 overs left and they're just swinging at everything (the last of which chipped it mid off to make them eight down) like it's the last over of the innings. They clearly don't fancy it. Short, quick bowling, and they're shitting out of it.

I stuck a fiver on the West Indies at 16/1 to win the tournament before it began. They looked the best value bet for me.

 

England were a ridiculous 2/1, with India just 3/1. Rip off bookie bastards.

Pakistan always have the potential to be a confidence-booster.

 

West Indies will go well from here.

[Stickman]

After seeing that display from Pakistan it's well worth throwing a few quid on them to win the tournament now

Can get 33/1 now. WI still 10/1. England...7/4...what the fuck?

[Mudface]

Easy win for West Indies- the game took less time than a 20-20.

[sir roger]

Good to see the bowlers making an impression so far , too many games where they are just smashed around the park. 

[Captain Howdy]

Pakistan always seem to find a way

A West Indies-Pakistan final it is then.

You'd be nipping down to watch the big game between Afghanistan and Australia this afternoon, Lifey?

Although a green Cardiff pitch at 10.30am has Sri Lanka 60-6 v New Zealand.

It is but then you get games Iike yesterday and today with a green wicket and Sri Lanka are 60-6 . 

[TheBitch]

Australia to win, most sixes, highest first 15 overs, and highest opening partnership at 9/4 is buying money isn't it?

Nah, split up with the bird that has an apartment overlooking the County ground. 

 

Far too much hassle!

Funds are tight. 

 

Have tickets for later on. 

[Jairzinho]

Would be nice to see a competitive match at some point. Hopefully this one.

[Jairzinho]

At least Afghanistan have displayed more intelligence and composure than Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

[Jairzinho]

Spoke too soon. Absolute fucking cretins.

 

Everything full getting drilled to the fence so they decide to take on the short ball...with all the success Pakistan had.

 

Just dreadful.
