So...   Basically we got skittled for 117, and they ended up getting them seven wickets down with two overs left. Really tight low scoring game. So the cunts get the sound system going playi

Our bowling attack is shite and India and Australia have been the best teams in the tournament

 

 

I think the seamers have underperformed having started quite well. Henry was a big miss, but I think Southee is probably done.

 

Not convinced Latham is good enough at five in games with scores of 300-400. 

 

You got to the final four while Pakistan and England didn't, so I don't think you did that that badly. In Ravindra you have a genuine superstar in the making.

yeah bro, like we went over before Boult and Southee have been very disappointing 

I’ve missed all of Ravindras batting as it’s been on the middle of the night - hopefully see him at home next month 

 

has the ‘inquest’ started around englands underperformance yet?

Think we're basically pretending the tournament didn't happen as to not tarnish the "legacy" of this group of players. You have to remember we've spent the last year or so patting ourselves on the back for single handedly saving test cricket so the last thing we're up for doing is acknowledging the gigantic dog shit sandwich we've just served up here.

Aye, me too. 

 

For two connected reasons. Fuck letting that cunt Modi have what he wants, and fuck letting India essentially retire 50 over cricket in the next couple of years.

 

It might have been the Nahendra Modi Stadium sign that tipped me over the edge.

Would like to see Glenn Maxwell winning the game (not fucking Steve Smith).

Sharma has been fucking awful in the field here. Just letting the game drift away.

 

Yeah the comms saying the same. The total was far to low to allow them simple singles and to wait on poor balls for boundaries. It's like they've accepted losing this way over the Aussies potentially doing it in half the time
