Playing with heart, courage and pushing their skills to the limit, say that of England?
Pakistan 156-6
Rashid Khan to Sarfaraz Ahmed, 1 run, OUT , runout! Pakistan are throwing this away! Googly lands way too short and wide on around 7th stump.
Sarfaraz Ahmed run out (Najibullah Zadran/ā Ikram Alikhil) 18 (22b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81
Australia finish 243-9
Hmm, I seem to recall we restricted Australia to quite a loew score despite them having a blsitering startā¦but you wonāt agree so thereās no point.
Alos New Zealand did let Australia has a 100+ 6th wicket partnership when they could have applied the pressure, like I said the other day swings and roundaboutsā¦
It does but the issue is their bowler performed when needed and they restricted Australia, its still 50/50 as they have Starc who is top 3 best one day bowlers in the World. They perform when required and theyāre winners.
Pakistan, spirit when it matters.
Or recipients of gift bowling from Gulbadin.
They still have to do it, Sri Lanka will live long in the memory of choking, and then Pakistanā¦Number one side my arse, prove it.
New Zealand innings stalling at 131 - 7ā¦need 113 from 69.
Not prepared to say if itās down to bad luck, bad batting or a lack of guts.
Probably moral terpitude.
New Zealand all out for 157 in 43 overs.
No fucking heart, spirit or guts. It mattered and they failed - badly. Oh, hang on a second - itās New Zealand, not England. So they actually fought really hard, showed massive spirit but got annihilated anyway.

England making a cracking start against India. Bairstow and Roy putting them to the sword, 112-0 after 16 overs. Bairstow looks a different player now Roy is back partnering him instead of Vince. Roy did get a bit lucky, gloved one down the leg side to the keeper but India didnāt review. He hit the next ball for six!
Hundred for bairstow from 90 balls. England183-1from 26 overs.
England going superbly, Roy is so so important, 350 minimum, all Archer and Wood need to do is bowl a good length and on off stump and theyāll get themselves out.
Bairstow goes for a Nelson
England 205 -2 after 31.5 overs
One thing that is really getting fucking annoying is parents bringing theiir infants along.
Cut it out you self indulgent cunts
Cricket or Glastonbury? Totally disagree, if its supposed to be open, inclusive and for all how the fuck can you stop children going? Iād have 75% under the age of 30 to keep it relevant but there we go.
They saw Morgan coming.
England in danger of throwing it away here. Absolute garbage from Morgan, awful shot. No boundary for ages. Run rate dropping dramatically.
Just 6 overs left and root is dabbing singles ffs. He is the last batsman you want in this situation. Just got out thank fuck. Now butler, letās hope heās on song.
310-5 Butler C & B Shami for 20 3 overs left.
Ben Stokes is a cyborg sent from the future to smack the holy shit out of a cricket ball.
