why are people rooting for an England win when it's cricket but not football?

I'm supporting NZ all the way

because it's a completely different sport played by completely different people

Ian Austin bowling well here.

This guy? Looks like he'd lost a bit of weight in that picture.

Same old, same old from England. You can probably predict it from here.

Stokes pokes around for a bit gets 40 odd. Morgan will hole out soon. Buttler out softly for about 10, the rest of them just try and whack it and don’t hang about too long. England lose by 60 odd.

Two teams in a match, NZ bowling very well. Restricted Australia and India to about 240 during the tournament too. Not just a case of England blowing it.

Do people at the ground have to pay extra for those earpieces that allow you to listen to the commentary?

Commentators are doing my head in here

Yeah, they are about fifteen quid a go.

Because we don't dislike half the England team or the governing body that runs it..

Depressing. This was their change to do it I feel.

It was a bit ago but I don't remember paying last time I went the cricket. But then maybe I did

Garrus · « **Reply #4133 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:49:42 pm »

Thanks for the responses!

Disaster

It’s out obviously

Wish Ian Smith was a bit more biased.

Didn't everyone want to play New Zealand in the semi/final?

El Lobo · « **Reply #4139 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:51:36 pm »

What a catch that is

Big captains innings from Root and Morgan today though. Well in chaps.

Damn good catch that

kloppismydad · « **Reply #4141 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:52:13 pm »

What a catch!

mc_red22 · « **Reply #4142 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:52:33 pm »

Fuck sake, this batting performance is pitiful. Can somebody stay in long enough to get a decent partnership going? Surely that's not a lot to ask for?

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #4143 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:52:39 pm »

Burn Lord’s to the fucking ground and play all our matches in the north (and Midlands).

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #4144 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:52:40 pm »

That's a great catch

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #4145 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:52:56 pm »

May as well just go for it now. Let Buttler and Stokes play their natural game, cos this 3 runs an over thing ain't working.

Ziltoid · « **Reply #4146 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:53:03 pm »

Great catch, pressure is really on now.

koptommy93 · « **Reply #4147 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:53:04 pm »

Another glorious failure

King Kenny 7 · « **Reply #4148 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:53:29 pm »

Its gonna be some save to win it from here!

They're knackered if Roy gets out early.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4151 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:53:51 pm »

we've fucked it. again. as per usual when the pressure's on we've ended up an absolute bag of shite.

we've won 1 final ever. 1.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4152 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:54:08 pm »

Why did they review the catch? It was so obviously clean

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #4153 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:54:36 pm »

Shite ball to get a wicket from but good catch.

Calm down lad. Far from over. Could go either way this.

The 3 an over thing never works. Every time we have played it this world cup and in history we lose.

The difference between us and NZ today they rotated the strike really well.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #4157 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:57:43 pm »

NZ kept the score ticking over well, they were consistantly getting 4-5 an over, even when they were losing wickets.

Kekule · « **Reply #4158 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:58:15 pm »

Fuck off with your Crowded House music between overs.

reddebs · « **Reply #4159 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:59:40 pm »

I don't know who I need to be annoyed at for this shit show of a final.

The authorities for choosing Lords.
The groundstaff for preparing a piss poor wicket.
The bowlers for letting them score so many.
The batsmen for looking like they don't know how to play.

The whole thing has really pissed me off, it's been a horrible final so far.
