    Starc gets Stokes with an unplayable ball.

    …..and out walks Moeen to become the hero of the day.

    Bottom line is we're not good enough when the chips are really down, good bowlers find us out too often...

    Stroller, England were not favourites chasing that.
    As I said this morning and ex England captains agreed, we should have batted when we won the toss. We didn't have great swing bowlers to take advantage of any help that was there.
    We are so poor chasing under pressure.
    Australia have outclassed us and we could well not make the semis.

    Yup, we're in real trouble now.

    Anyone know when Roys back?

    Well England were favourites at half-way, they just didn't bat like it. I still maintain that it was an obvious decision to bowl first. It's true we didn't have the swing bowlers to take advantage of the early conditions, but Australia did. A 10.30 start at Lord's when it's humid and overcast, if you win the toss you bowl. Australia would have done.

    We were beaten by a better team on the day.

    Apparently Finch was 50/50 on batting or bowling if he won the toss.

    Anyway, the bottom line is, our much vaunted batting line up are great when batting first and setting a target. The lower order are great when they're topping up a decent total. They're not very good when chasing under pressure.
    We've also been unlucky losing Roy, who was in excellent form and Hayles being a dick.
    I hope and pray we can beat India on Sunday. Must bat first if we win the toss.

    I would've picked Willey over Moeen or even Archer if he's carrying an injury. Hindsight can be a cruel mistress sometimes.

    Not long now until that La Merde bloke will be on here gloating. They'll be waking up down under in a few hours.

    Willey wasn't in the final 15 so couldn't have been selected today, but we really could have done with him in those conditions.

    It's looking touch and go for your lot to get there now. In your next two game you'll be up again two more teams wanting to "secure their place in the semi-finals". Sri Lanka could squeak through

    I know, if they ain’t good enough, or rather intelligent enough to win enough games, then they don’t deserve
