2019 Cricket ODI WC

@hydro11 Not as an opener, I don't think Nicholls has. He hasn't come out and generated a compelling strike rate in any of his turns opening - in part, because they've kept giving Munro turns, so Nicholls hasn't been given a decent run. Whereas, before Latham got asked to open and keep he was doing a good job opening.
Right now, we've got a bunch of guys who are undercooked - I say pick one of the few guys who's showing some form.
For me the question is more who opens - Latham or Nicholls, rather than if Blundell plays. Though I'm prepared to concede that the selectors might see this differently. But, I haven't been impressed with our selectors or administrators in 2019.

Nicholls should be at 5 if he isn't opening. That's what we should be doing anyway.

Poms 1/1 after 2 balls. Tahir opened the bowling.
Would have paid good odds if you picked him as first wicket taker.

As the TSF original cricket correspondent couldn’t have gone to a better bloke
Good to see you're still about Mr Xpat. Sobering thought that the role was almost 20 years ago ....

About the time I slowly started to lose interest in cricket as there was just too much of the damn stuff..

@hydro11 proteboks haven't bowled that well. Tahir one over too many I think. When the line has been good, the length is ordinary and vice versa

South Africa 207 all out
England win by 104 runs
Highlight: Stokes with one of the greatest catches in the history of Cricket.

It was a bloody good catch, but hardly the greatest ever. That is just Nasser Hussain talking shit from a nervous English commentary box

It was weird technique, despite batting left handed he obviously doesn't rate his ability to catch left handed. Great grab though.
