Not watching, but I suspect the track isn't offering much grip if any.  Just like England played Windies on the ground with probably the biggest boundaries.  'home' advantage matters, even for the foreign legion.

Afghan team is mentally shot. First they changed the captain just before the WC and then sent Mohammad Shahzad back. Some nasty internal dressing room politics going on. Reflects in their performance.

No Ireland zimbocos to play with

Wannabe Warne, got too pig headed & got what he deserved. I've seen the looks he gives in IPL to departing batters, shone his true self here at the biggest stage

These guys are madeup of refugees and have allmost no experience of playing conditions. So, slaughtering is expected by FTB. ON another day in subcontinental conditions, I am sure that Rashid and Nabi will dominate

[vvvslaxman]

Can happen. Morgan just had a good day on a flat pitch.

century for rashid coming up

Rashid pulls himself back on thinks he can fix his stats after wickets have fallen and dispatched for a 6 first ball

I think someone has record of about 120 runs in 10 overs. Lets see if it can be beaten

[Forever Indian]

Most runs conceded in a match in World Cup

Equals Wahab Riyaz for 2nd most runs conceded in ODIs ever

[Forever Indian]

Escaped the all time World Record because he bowled only 9 overs

It's the used track from the India v Pakistan game. Added to that we played the WI on arguably the flattest ground in the country (right up there with Trent Bridge).

Now, now.  No need to get defensive, this is a nice performance by England.  The Irish Leprechaun absolutely smoked them off of his bat, although I think I did see him gritting his teeth between a few slugs there.  

 

For England's sake, I hope their refractory period after blowing this load is short.   Would have been interesting if Englund were playing NZ/India or even Aus next.  As it is, its Sri Lanka.  So not to worry.  

 

Jokes and banter aside, England have been trail-blazers in showing what's possible with the changed ODI rules, and how to maximize the middle 30 overs.  Definitely a strong contender this tournament!  

 

If I were a fan of the foreign legion I'd be a bit worried about Stokes' decision to turn himself into a "responsible" batsman, post punch-gate.  It'd be better for him to emulate Dhoni in his prime, instead of the version of Dhoni the greybeard raging against the dying light.

Biggest boundaries though right?  Or are you going to just brazenly Baghdad Bob that fact?
