Even Bell, scored 60 odd today but ridiculously slow gone are the days where a batsmen can score 60, 70 whatever in 90 odd balls. Needs to be done much quicker.

Root is still the one who gets runs though. Bopara should be in though.

Exactly

England and Pakistan are the only two teams left with this approach

Pakistan gets away with it, because their bowlers turn beasts


Plus, even Pakistan accelerate better than England

Probably, semis will be
SA vs NZ
India vs Aus
And a Aus vs NZ final

Never know with South Africa and knock outs though, could lose to the Lankans. And Pakistan can be extremely unpredictable

Pakistan aren't very good are they?

Shocking batting performance and fielding was just as bad

Their batting is pathetic overall, and their best player is retiring.

With Aamir returning, the bowling will be one to watch, but the batting is just useless.

They'll probably throw in a lot of people from their U19 team and hope they make the step-up.

Still better than England though
