Who are the IDIOTS who made Adil Rashid Player of the Match

Jofra Archer who took top order wickets deserved the POTM instead of
Adil Rashid who took tailenders wickets.

Jofra Archer
3.2 1 12 3

Adil Rashid
4 0 11 4

HOW the fuck can they be SO DUMB when it's so STRAIGHTFORWARD?

You could also make a case for Wood. He and Archer each took 3 wickets,
6 of the top 7 between them. Rashid did bowl beautifully, and from what
little we saw of the Oman batsmen their top order didn't seem to be much
more capable than their tail-enders. But I suspect that the adjudicator
may have been one of those who takes the easy way out and just gives the
award to the bowler with the best figures.

It was kind of England to win so quickly. Had the match gone the full
forty overs, it wouldn't have finished till about 11:30 UK time, which
is well after my bedtime.

Since it's hard to see Namibia beating England or Scotland beating
Australia (I don't think Australia's wish to see England eliminated is
THAT strong, even disregarding the penalty if they were seen as having
thrown the match), the main threat to England qualifying is the weather,
as I suggested a day or two ago. If either England v Namibia or
Australia v Scotland in a no-result, then England will be out.

He should have picked Wood or Archer as POTM.

Australia WON'T cheat to eliminate England because they have been
involved in SO MANY SCANDALS in the last few years.

Secondly, it will be TOO OBVIOUS for the whole cricket fraternity if
they cheat.

I prefer England to make the Super 8 instead of some minnow because
- minnow games will be boring unless they are playing on Newyork stadium
pitch
- Champion teams should beat the BEST TEAMS and WIN the World Cup.

Though I make ONE exception for the filthy terrorist paki nation for
OBVIOUS REASON and hence want them out of Super 8.

Wood also took a catch (off his own bowling), and only required
assistance from a team-mate for one of his wickets.

Rain, and the lack of reserve days, will ultimately have ensured the
elimination of the winner of the Pakistan/Ireland match (or
theoretically Canada, in the extremely unlikely event that they thrash
India). It may also end up eliminating Sri Lanka and Nepal, if SL beat
Netherlands and Nepal beat Bangladesh, which, given how close Nepal ran
South Africa, is a distinct possibility.

In the England/Scotland group, even if there are no more no-results, it
will have ensured the elimination of at least one of Scotland, England
and Namibia.

The SL/Nepal abandonment didn't affect qualification in the end.

That turned out to be Scotland, so it could well have been Scotland and
Pakistan in Group 2 of the Super 8s with SA and WI but for the rain.

As it is, Group 2 could be called the West Group (Eng, SA, WI, USA) and
Group 1 the East Group (Ind, Aus, Afg, Ban).

Or the USA might have beaten Ireland like everybody else did

I said when Heinrich Malan was appointed Ireland head coach that he
was just another failure who coaches via happy clappy affirmations.
On the BBC page this morning Stirling says "Ireland need to pride
ourselves on our fight' and some more words that weren't connected to
scoring runs or taking wickets or winning matches. It was almost as if
Malan has the Ireland team in a state of waiting on the right
conditions to come along to win a game.

Do the decent thing Heinrich, resign your position, apologise for
bluffing your way and wasting any time and talent the Ireland team
has.
My pref for Ireland coach has always been Bobby (Narashima) Rao and
Bobby was certainly overlooked because of personalities (maybe skin
tone too, I can't say). He's a great coach and a strict ECB/CI coach
trainer and examiner.
If a local coach is called 'Sir' by Dravid and Laaxman he's gonna be
on my staff.

That's why I said "could" rather than "would". I wouldn't have been
surprised either way.

Group 1 is almost the "Indian subcontinent" group, if you stretch it a
bit to include Afghanistan.

And beyond breaking point to include Australia?
