We didn't play too badly but still lost. I get the feeling we will finish bottom of the group and won't win a game

We'll need to beat South Africa and they are on an upward trajectory.

India will win this unless they bottle the final at home again.

I think we're heading for an early exit.

Started well with the ball but all got to pot since .

No confidence and a few unfit players.

All down to Root and Duckett again .

Some heads needs to roll after that embarrassing defeat. Nearly stayed in it, but as in the previous match the boundaries dried up in the straight. One or two players are well out of form : Salt, Brook and Livingstone off the top of my head.

Not to be- disappointing despite Root’s best efforts .

Cannot be too many times a team has had a century marker in 2 consecutive games and lost.

Salt Livingstone and butler should retire from one day cricket and just play T20 games. Brook is another where he's better off just sticking to tests. Some of them are playing this format as if it's a T20 match. Root and duckett both hit good centuries in both matches but ended in on the losing side but those are the type of innings you have to play in 50 overs cricket not basically do what some of these do try hit every ball to the boundary then get out for about 10 to 20 runs.

It feels today as though England just want this over so they can get home.

 

[Super_horns]

Relying on Root again.

 

[Super_horns]

Well that was really embarrassing!

India into the final of this tournament beating the Aussies. I only bring this up as it’s an utter farce that Pakistan are the host nation and now the final won’t even be played in their country when no other team has had any issue playing there.
