ICC World Cup 2023: Afghanistan (284 all out) beat England (215 all out) by 69 runs in shock ICC Cricket World Cup win

Archer defended runs in the last super over? He isn't a fluke bowler, he was fire In 2019 so was Liam Plucknett.

2019 England was stronger because Morgan, Stokes and root complimented each other. They werent random bazzball hacks like brook.

Roy, Bairstow, Root, Stokes, Morgan and butler were all genuine batsmen and prime form.

Bairstow form has been horrible since coming back from injury in 2023, Butler has badly badly regressed with his last outing being the 2022 India bash, Morgan is gone and Stokes is our of practise due to being away for a while, and Roy is gun but he isn't around due to fitness either.

Malan isn't as good as 2019 Roy, Malan is good but he's in the same overrated boat as babar is.

Their playing with an out of form team, same as Australia that's playing with an aged side. Looks good on paper but the reality is its not the same as the 2015-2019 days for these guys

So Pakistan should be over to run over them?

What does Pakistan have anything to do with it? I'm stating why England is weaker in 2023 to 2019 lol.

When it comes to Pakistan we literally got trolled by a has been Australia in warmups. It was the literal definition of trolling from them. That shows the boat we are in

It is a World Cup, so there is going to be the odd upset and that is what you want in a tournament like this.
