I dont see England capable of scoring more than 280 in an ODi in current team format
Luckily a lot of the CT13 games havent seen massive totals so far
India look the team to score big, expected more from SL but 138 and not batting out the 50 is a shocker for them.
NZ bowled well but now that well.

I'm not sure it's luck that there haven't been too many total's of 300+. The tournament's in England and there's no games at Taunton so that's usually the norm in this country i would surmise. While 300+ is not impossible there's usually "something" in it for the bowlers whatever the weather. Yesterday's game is a prime example, both sides bowled well but didn't get near to using the overs. The way our side is set up we take the approach that 269 is a reasonable total. Had either Buttler or Morgan come off the we may well have made 300. Admittedly it can be a little frustrating watching Trotting seemingly scratch around but you can't argue with his stats and he does a pretty good anchoring job IMO.

I fucking love Trott but he should either open or not play at all,

Pak v SA today.
With both teams having lost there first game. This game is pretty much a knock out.
I think Pakistan will win. SA with no Morkel, Kallis, Smith and probably no Steyn. Even though Pakistan lost their opening game to the Windies, the bowling attack is hugely impressive with the 7ft giant, Junaid Khan and Wahab all capable of bowling 90 mph plus and the mystery spin of Ajmal.
However Pakistan are quite similar to England in that they probably have the two best bowling attacks but you have question marks over both when it comes to the batting.

The main entertainment of watching Pakistan, is trying to decide if the match has been fixed or not, and so where the betting money lies...against WI, with extras being 3rd highest scorer on 6, I would say so. |

Warner spices things up by getting banished from today's match for chinning Joe Root...in Walkabout in Brum.

Rooty should have smacked him back. I'm glad he didn't though. |

Warner's a hard fucker, probably best little Joe didn't swing back!

Have you seen Rooty up close? He'd have trouble seeing off an 8-year-old girl! Shows what an absolute knob Warner is though. |

You would've thought that Warner would be in bed doing his homework...
It's great seeing the Aussies in a mess...hopefully the Kiwis will turn them over today.

Warner is a perfect example of why it's absolutely fine to hate the Aussies this summer. Can't wait for the Barmy Army to start dishing it out....

I'll be joining in with that Paolo, something along the lines of 'Warner Warner you're a cunt' or is that a little bit extreme for the 'gentleman's game'  |

We're playing Sri Lanka today. Im very tired and this isn't helping. The usual solid but slow from us batting. 84 for 1 after 20 overs.
