So Pakistan beat South Africa and Ireland win AGAIN

I'm starting to wish I had a bit of paddy in me, just so that I could enjoy this World Cup from a non neutral perspective

I have an Irish grandparent..... And a German one so world cups are sorted haha

There have been several occasions when I've almost forgotten about our involvement in this world cup, such has been the absence of England games for large periods at a time.

Then I'm cruelly reminded when we get beaten by whoever are put in front of us. I feel like I'm constantly going through a cycle of ignorance followed by despair. It's not a good time.

Very very close.

 

[JJH]

Gonna give this one a miss tonight, 3am on an early Monday morning and then work the next day doesn't appeal to me, but may catch the final few overs when I wake up.

 

[Merger most horrid]

I'm waiting for those three little words "WE ARE UNCHANGED"

 

[RavenBish]

Hales at 3. He's an opener. He's a fucking opener.

 

[hodge]

England have always tried forcing players into positions outside their best.

 

[Skinner]

Broad has been so poor since his injury

 

[DarkSithLord]

Misfield for Bangladesh first Hundred in World cup History

 

[JJH]

276 to win - doable.

 

[JJH]

Moeen's ridden his luck so far, but the shot selections coming out now, and Bell seems to be finding a feel for the ball.

Decent start.

 

[TomPNE94]

Stupid run out

 

[Super_horns]

Oh dear - Morgan gone for a duck.

132-4 chasing 275 or so.

Somebody needs to step up and produce a big innings..

 

[JonBCFC]

We're gonna lose. It's actually quite pathetic and embarrassing now how shit we are. Sooner senior management change the better.

 

[Merger most horrid]

Why stay for the Afghanistan game..forfeit and come home now

 

[Saddlerrad]

So we are collapsing against Bangladesh. I mean, Banglafuckingdesh.

 

[Madglover]

This is so depressing, how have we allowed the team to slip to this standard.

Everybody else has adapted their game and we are stuck thinking 250+ is a good score.

 

[Skinner]

Ah, what a load of shit.

Need a big innings from our future captain here.

 

[Skinner]

BYE

 

[JonBCFC]

The future captain that seemed content to hit 20 odd from 40 odd balls then get out. Pathetic

 

[Madglover]

Why do I keep expecting us to turn it around? However crap we have been I still went into this match optimistic. At some point I have to be realistic. We are awful

 

[Super_horns]

Butler and Woakes giving it a good go.

Least they are showing some fight.

 

[Saddlerrad]

We are dire. Decent partnership here, but the simple fact is - the entire tone of the performance is once again completely wrong on all levels.

 

[Super_horns]

Going to be so frustrating if we just miss out - typical.

Shame we don't get going till its almost too late.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Good.

 

[JonBCFC]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We are fucking shit!

 

[DarkSithLord]

Peter Moores position is surely untenable now?

 

[Saddlerrad]

Diabolical. Both KP and Cook must be laughing.

 

[TomPNE94]

Thank fuck for that, was worried we were gonna steal it there and prolong the torture. Sack all of 'em, useless c***.
