In all my years watching England in one day cricket, they have hardly ever, ever won tight games like this.
Moores was a ridiculous appointment and he must go!! He is every bit as whimpish as a coach as Cook is as a skipper. That lack of aggression has been transferred to the players on the field. We are a joke!
Will England learn anything? Will they ****. Properly outplayed by Bangladesh, no luck involved in that.
So we go out of the World Cup against the Bangladanglers who for 20 years have been the whipping boys of world cricket, a greater fall from grace is hard to imagine. We really have hit rock-bottom in some style whilst so many good one-day players never get a sniff of an England place. Colin Graves has just been appointed and has already indicated a change of attitude which could blow some of the 'old guard' away. Why hasn't someone like Alec Stewart not been brought into the fold? Because he speaks his mind, maybe Graves will bring forward thinkers in to point us in the right direction as Moore's position is surely untenable...
Yep truly awful,but no-one should be surprised.We've been playing rubbish for ages,stuck in a 1980's mindset.While other teams have evolved,we've gone backwards,don't expect anything to change in the immediate future!Said at the start of the tournament that New Zealand were worth a bet at 11/2,home advantage and attacking cricket,with a positive mindset is a potent mix.If they get to the final and lose,it's still half the odds!
Just to add that Ireland are doing themselves proud again,currently 69-0 after 12 overs against India.The ground they're playing on is the smallest International ground I've ever seen!Against India they might need to score 450,i can see 6's galore later!
I heard Ireland got torn a new one against India. Did someone say India are the current Champions? Didn't think they were that good
They are Swordsie......Ireland did as well as they could have expected but against a side that are amonst the best and should reach the Semi's at least they were never seriously going to trouble them....... Now Pakistan at the weekend is winnable as they have struggled so far with the exception of the win over South Africa that was a tad unexpected......
Are you going to the Ire V Eng game in Malahide 8th May Tramore??? See tickets are still available. We could meet Swordsie there.
What to watch England be humiliated again? Don't think so.......Isn't Malahide a bit far for Swords to travel
Depends which part of Swords he lives in. Maximum it is 3 miles away. He might want to watch it in the local????
