What a surprise: middle overs, England becalmed, recourse to slogging, then Bell loses wicket.
Anyone care to write the rest of the innings?
On edit: Morgan slogs before getting his eye in.

Losing this is probably for the best, in the long run.

Stone me, unless Root plays the innings of his life, England are going to blow this.
Downton and Moores now relying on Rooot to save their jobs!

Can we sack Ramps as bastting coach and give the job to Jos Buttler? The only England batsman who knows what footwork is...

Broad bowled with ball hitting top of off stump and his front foot three inches outside his leg stump. Even more criminal than CJ's senseless run-out.

Morgan out. Moores out. Downton out, please.
Buttler as one day captain. Gillespie as coach, may be with Robinson as his deputy. Downton doesn't need replacing. Just abolish the post and save the salary.
Big, big changes in Test squad for West Indies, please. Lyth and Lees in. Rashid in. Billings in. Plunkett back and an.other fast bowler to replace Finn and Broad.
What will Moores say - "we showed we can play when we beat Scotland"? Desperate, desperate days for English cricket. This timid, rudderless, stats-obssessed side is actually worse than the rabble that lost the Ashes 5-0 last winter.

Peter Moores has just said "We thought 275 was chaseable. We'll have to look at the data."

Peter Moores has just said "We thought 275 was chaseable. We'll have to look at the data." And he then also insisted that we are totally flexible and not obsessed with laptop stats and analysis! He went on to complain that we had lost "a couple of key batsmen at the top of the order" and mentioned Trott (I presume the other he didn't name was Cook - I can't believe he meant KP!) Strauss responded in the studio by saying that the brand of cricket Trott plays would have made no difference to England's outcome in this world cup because his style of play is now old hat and the other top nations have all moved on and keep coming at you and hitting boundaries throughout the middle overs. Trott, Root, Bell etc pushing it around, he said, is a recipe for defeat. Even an ultra-conservative like Strauss now gets it, but it seems Moores still doesn't. He has to go. Gillespie would be our fourth coach in little more than a year after Flower, Giles and Moores. But that cannot be used an an argument to prevent us trying to get it right. |

The genius that is Stuart Broad got this one right, at least.
Back in January he said: “We would have to have an absolute stinker not to make the quarter finals.”
