Judging by today's two results "dead rubbers" are anything but "dead rubbers".2

The_President said:I hate Kohli, such an oboxious fucker, and so far up his own arse he matches 1or 2 on this forum.
India captain Virat Kohli has been fined for his "aggressive" approach to an umpire during their 11-run win over Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup.
Kohli has been docked 25% of his match fee and given one demerit point for breaching level one of the ICC code of conduct, for "excessive appealing".
The 30-year-old admitted the charge after advancing towards umpire Aleem Dar when appealing an lbw decision.
Kohli now has two demerit points on his record, after receiving one for aggressive behaviour towards umpires during a Test match against South Africa in Pretoria in January 2018.
Level one breaches carry a maximum punishment of a 50% match fee deduction and two demerit points. If a player accrues four demerit points within a 24-month period, they will receive a ban.

It would be interesting if Kohli picked up 2 more demerit points in the WC and was banned from the final
Would the ICC have the guts to do that though...0 -
Amla is having a good tournament............1

If Roy isn't fit for Tuesday then we should push Moeen up to open. He would be far more effective teeing off from the start especially with the early fielding restrictions, then Vince could bat 5 or 6 and come in when there maybe less pressure or play either Curren, Dawson or Plunkett at No.8 after Woakes which would also give us another bowling option.0
-
I think 6 bowlers are more enough, especially with Root being able to bowl a few overs.
We don't need to panic, we have answered most questions asked over the last few years (in limited overs cricket anyway). I still believe we will make the semi-finals.0 -
Looking at the net run rates, you would imagine 1 more win would see us through.1
-
Probably get 1 point Tuesday due to the weather.0

I'm not saying we need more bowlers, my point is about using Moeen's batting more effectively, he doesn't seem to perform well when things are tight.cafcfan1990 said:I think 6 bowlers are more enough, especially with Root being able to bowl a few overs.

If anything out squad seems like a batsman short, as we've got Curran and Dawson in our squad who are unlikely to play0

You mentioned playing another bowler in place of Vince, which gives us 4 batman and 7 bowlers (excluding Root). I get what you are saying about Ali, but this has been tried and he isn't good enough.Riviera said:

I don't think we should be making changes to get the best out of Ali, he's not a good enough batsman to warrant doing that.0 -
Moeen opening in Roy's absence isn't a bad call. He gets out caught on the rope a lot so he'd have a better chance of not falling this way1
-
But really let's hope Roy gets fit tbh1
-
Personally would rather leave Ali at 7. It's possible we may need him to do a job there later in the tournament.
Imagine him coming in to open and scoring a ton but still struggling at 7!0 -

Whoever opens will have to be able cope with Starc. Indeed this WC has shown that the best fast bowlers are still massive weapons in this format0

The world is certainly changing.0 -

I said Vince could bat lower OR add another all-rounder.cafcfan1990 said:

Yes and replacing Vince with an all rounded would give us 7 bowlers like I said above. I never said you stated it was the answer. You raised it as a possibility, I gave my opinion that this is too many bowlers.Riviera said:

Not quite sure how relevant the 'OR' is, you put it forward as an option.0 -
Tuesday weather looks better than it did, will certainly have some play but maybe a reduced overs match.0
-
So Roy could be out for the rest of the tournament.
When do we panic?0 -
Not worth risking him tomorrow as it's not do or die, we might as well give him 5 extra days to try and recover for the India match.Laddick01 said:So Roy could be out for the rest of the tournament.

He has been batting in the nets at Lords. Will not play tomorrow but hopeful to be ready for India at the weekend.1
-
Lords drys pretty quick doesn't it ?
If the heavy rain stops at 7am, how long do people reckon it will take to be ready for the start ?
We're trying to decide what to do for tomorrow.
We'll probably meet up Baker Street and have breakfast & beers, but no point getting there too early if play won't start until early afternoon.
Obviously playing it by ear.0
