Warm-up matches

[Leicester Fox]

Fox, if you are watching the match, why don't try posting the screen shots. :P

I'm watching it on t.v not on the pc and if I took photos it would come out rubbish. Jimmy looks in good form. Ready to set the world on fire again like he showed he could in '03. him and Plunkett are capable of single handedly destroying teams although this is only bermuda but they can only beat whats put in front of them.A few weeks ago this would have been a shocking result!

Lewis with a wicket first ball! not a bad start to the world cup!

Mahmood's first delivery in Caribbean 2007:

80.7 mph
Outside off stump
Full
Four runs
Sounds about right.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Lewis gets 2 in 2. They should jusge the bowlers on friday though

What a joke, Bermuda have played poorly here. They lack more than people who have been moulded into flawed techniques. They lack any power hitters or people with any grit and determination.

Mahmood has been hit for another four, against poor opposition he should not play as he really knows how to release pressure.

 

[Leicester Fox]

another one for Lewis. He's running through them now. Good to see England win but it's not exactly the best thing to watch. Mahmood has been poor so far. Also does anyone know what the white patch with writing at the top of Nixons pads says? I've not seen it before

Mahmood gets one now. It's getting too easy! I expected better from Bermuda after their good start with the ball. Maybe we have should let all 13 bat and field to even it up

LMFAO!!! at the way Mukkhuden got out, left 2 on the stumps then third time he got bowled. These Bermudans aren't that great.

Well, no. They are an associate, placed poorly in the recent International Cricket League (was it that? the one with all the associates) and aren't historically one of the people who invented the game. It's surprising how much confidence English fans are taking from this win!

 

[Leicester Fox]

we have said all the way through it's only bermuda but you can only beat who you're playing against : and it's quite clear that we have played well so we should be getting confident,it's not like we've been lucky although the batsmen weren't at their best

The batsmen weren't at their best? The batsmen aren't their best. If my memory serves me correctly, they've got one professional cricketer and the rest are all part-timers...

 

[Leicester Fox]

I was talking about the English batsmen not being at their best.

 

[gaurav_indian]

Bermuda could do what Kenya did it at the last World Cup i.e surprising every team.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Monty gets in on the fun too! Nearly over now but the game against Australia will be the one that decides selection. Still Mahmood hasn't looked on top form today which was a bit dissapointing but the res were good.

and fred cleans up! good solid win and start to the worldcup for England. The players looked in good form.

 

[BigCrickNan]

I never said we were taking confidence in the performance, I just found the way a batsman got out rather humorous...

 

[IanBell]

Do these games count as ODI's or List A or nothing?

 

[manee]

No, as far as I am aware they are unofficial matches in every sense of the word.
