ICC Cricket World Cup Starts at 9.30 am This Morning

Will see if india can cope with the pressure, be good to see a game go down to the final over
 
We need to find a replacement for Reece Topley who left the squad this morning to return to England following scans. A replacement needs to be found - it wont be Archer. Also this report is damning

"Also stark criticism continues to be labelled against Buttler who justified his decision to field in the blazing heat citing that the ground is conducive to run chases.

And if England were once a chasing team, they are no longer that side. This was their 7th loss in 8 run chases in ODI Internationals; the only target they have hauled in was 210 on a turning pitch in Mirpur. England used to make light of scoreboard pressure; now, it inhibits them.

The conditions were brutal, not least for an XI which featured only three players under the age of 32. There was a revolving door of players coming on and off the field due to niggles, cramps or illness, to change their sweat-drenched shirts or simply for a moment's respite. England's medical staff became the busiest men in Mumbai."

It really wasn’t very well thought out, which is quite damning for Buttler and Mott.

Any replacement seamer who is drafted in will need to become acclimatised and get up to speed with competitive tournament cricket.

This suggests he will be cover, for a while at least, so back to Woakes or Curren then….
 
Interesting comments by Simon Doull re the ton by Daryl Mitchell. He "dawdled" through the 90s which left 20 runs off NZ's score.
