Anyone else started to lose interest in this tournament ?
I am a cricket lover but one game a day is just dragging it out. I am not even looking at the results now , when in the past I would have been sneakily watch the live coverage when at work.
Going to be worse once we're out and there's still a million games left.
Big 15 overs. If we can get a couple of quick wickets then we will be ahead. If Klaassen and Miller are still there with four or five overs left then we will be in trouble.

I quite enjoy the other games too but then perhaps the fact I trade on them adds the element of interest that others don't have.
But the way our bowlers are going fitness wise Root and Brook might end up having to bowl the last 10 overs
Suspect Rashid will bowl his final 3. Topley will bowl 3 and Atkinson probably 4 which means that we have to find a couple of overs from Wood, Root and Willey (if he can)
At least the English batsman will be nice and fresh after 3 1/2 hours in the 35 degree heat.
Stubbourness can be a big asset in a sportsman. Overdone, as it has been with Buttler as skipper, can produce the complete opposite result.
I sincerely hope I'm proved wrong, but there is little recent evidence that England are a good chasing team in this format. In the 2019 World Cup, England won 6 of 9 group games, 5 of these batting first. The 3 games they lost, they chased.
