Rubbish .

What about the pressure ?

What about the bowlers who didn’t get him ?

Blaming 1 person for 1 mistake and that leading to a massive score , is a cop,out IMHO .

That drop hasn’t cost us the game .

IMHO he’s still in credit for the century he got the other day .

It’s Buttler and Salt who owe us , not Brook .

I apologise if this seemed a bit strong .
I’m not having a good time , but I do mean my apology .
 
I'm just pleased we didn't embarrass ourselves and lose by something like 150 runs. However, having got that close, then it really does bring up the small matter of Brook's dropped catch again. It's impossible to tell what would have happened, of course, but there's now a strong case for arguing that Brook cost us a big chance of a win there as things panned out. That plus poor bowling overall, not nailing any yorkers.
 
Feels like a huge missed opportunity TBH. But on the plus side Bethell is a special talent who is very early into his international career.
 
With the game ending so close and high scoring you have to look at the bowling and fielding for the difference. Think the dropped catch will be looked at a lot over the next few hours..

Think we would have beaten NZ had we got there.
 
England just conceded too many runs. you will never chase down 250 with the pressure - that ball has to go the ropes every other ball
