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

"I remember sitting in a team meeting - before the new fielding restrictions were brought in - and we were told that if we scored 239 we will win 72% of games. That meant the whole game was built on having so many runs by a certain stage and having so many partnerships. I used to shake my head, thinking 'this is crazy'. I remember Jonathan Trott getting close to a hundred in Colombo. We had batted to our plan almost perfectly and scored 229. Trotty got 86 in 115 balls. Everyone said "brilliant", then Sri Lanka knocked them off in 39.3 overs."

 

 

 

D'you think anyone said "brilliant" after we finished batting today?

Aye, cook needs taking to the vet and put down, we are a shambles and he sums it up perfectly with his scratching around for runs at this form of the game. We won't learn though, we'll go into the WC with the majority of these and then flap when we get humiliated.

How Moeen bowls won't determine whether it was a good decision or not. They should both be playing.

Agree, especially when you see someone like Cook in the one day set up. Not sure why balance is in their either.

India play about four spinners, and have bummed us into another dimension.

 

Our seamers really aren't up to much with the white ball.

We won#t change things though, those at the top have gone back in a time machine to the stuff shirt 70's and 80's.
