Bopara has to stay in the team now.

Bopara has to stay in the team now.

Agreed and Treadwell has to come in for Yardy

[beness]

Bopara should have been in at the start of the tournament.

MOTM Bopara.

[PaulWinch again]

Yardy has to go, he is neither a batsmen or a bowler.

[VillaZogmariner]

That should see us qualify now for the Quarter Finals.

[PaulWinch again]

isn't there another group stage first?

[VillaZogmariner]

isn't there another group stage first?

Not sure on the format other than someone said earlier that it's the top 4 that go through.

[beness]

isn't there another group stage first?

 4 from each group go straight to the quarter finals.

The ICC should be very grateful to have England in this World Cup.  The rest of it has been the dampest of squib's.

Lots of character shown after a below par batting display (Bopara and Trott aside).

Good to see Anderson and Broad bowling well.

[Dave Cooper please]

Ireland giving it another go against India, two wickets already.

Ireland giving it another go against India, two wickets already.

Been fantastic, regardless of how far they go in this tournament.  Couple of Warwickshire players in the team as well.  So come on you Irish.

I see Mike Hussey is now joining up with the Aussie squad after previously withdrawing due to injury. 

He's come in as replacement for Bollinger.

Maybe England could do something similar?  Now Collingwood's taken a slight knock get rid of him and call up Eoin Morgan?

He would be a huge difference to the middle order.

[TheTimVilla]

That's ridiculous! Tremlett wasn't allowed to play in our warm-up games even though he stayed with the squad as cover. What's the point of naming a 15 man squad and then bringing in a replacement? And it's clearly tactical as Dougie's a quick and Hussey a batsman.

Well done England.
