This format is supposed to be easier. Hit and giggle cricket normally is.
Trivialising it does not make me feel any better. Keep in mind the world cup is the goal...whether we like it or not its as big deal to the crticketing world. This is supposed to be part of our "preparation".
 
Embarrassing cricket.

The whole side needs a massive overhaul - if Gurney is an international cricketer there's hope for all of us yet.

"If the England management, captain and selectors cannot see there is a burning issue that needs to be changed, then I am worried, angry and sad. If they start spouting rubbish about 'not executing our plans' then we really should be worried because sanity is not prevailing."

That's quite an astute statement coming from a mag. He's actually gone up in my estimation ....
 
Needs to feck off, replace him with Captain Morgan

Unfortunately Owen looks a shadow of his former self but I agree Cook has got to go. There's fuck all to play for so he should be dropped for the last ODI and bring Bell back to open.

Roy should be in the next squad, as should James Taylor. If Morgan can't regain some form we have to be brave and make either Broad or Taylor captain! Looks like we might have to bring Ravi or Luke Wright back to give us some experience and bowling back up anarl :neutral:

We're a f***ing joke at the minute.

You're right mate, we should take it as seriously as other countries do. We're a laughing stock. What can we do?
 
India win with nearly 20 overs and 9 wickets to spare :oops:

We just struggled past 200 and they looked like they could have got to 350 easily :oops:
 
We are poor, but to be honest there is very little to come in and improve the team, the England cricket team are in the same boat as the England Football team.

Bad times.
 
Cook doesn't deserve to be in the side based on runs scored, strike rate or for his ability as a captain so that's where we should start IMO.

Our batting bar Ali was awful. Root didn't bowl a ball today while Woakes was going for 10 an over. OK it didn't matter today but Cook's decision making is f***ing awful.
 
Cook has to fall on his sword I am afraid.

The way we are performing in these games is comical to say the least.

Why send Buttler in at six making it two right handers at the crease? Should have been Ali in to disrupt their tactics with a right left combo.

In the years I was a first team skipper I would do anything to annoy fuck out of the opposition. That right/ left combo was always top of the list.
 
Just watching the highlights on TiVo, where the programme is described as:

Cricket, Sports Non-Event

Well quite. :lol:
