The more I watch it the more disgusting that decision was.

Mind boggling.

Listen to you moaning twats lol

England played well in the tourney and were narrowly beaten by a good side

Dodgy decisions are as much part of cricket as footy

Not anymore. With the video technology available mistakes should NOT be made in international cricket. Oxenford wants f***ing flogging.

they got in and they should have seen it through. 20 from 15 was needed and they both threw their wickets away. Two very poor shots. They had hit the bad ball well and been patient up until that point and then both had a huge rush of blood.

Two new batsmen at the crease needing 20 from 13 with the ball spinning was a big ask from then on in.

Bopara and Morgan got us in the position and then lost us the game. Batsmen earn their corn from winning games not from getting their tail end in a position to win it

To me that's like blaming the keeper for conceding a poor goal and losing 1-0 when he save 3 penalties.

As I already said, a dodgy decision was a massive help in us beating NZ, if the third umpire got it right we may not even have got out the group.
 
England are the best TEST SIDE in the world...but to be honest we have always kind of struggled at 50/50...or 20/20 which what it was today......bring on the Convicts lol.

The third umpire was a disgrace.
Prior should be in the ODI team.
We still cannot play spin.
The groundsman wants sacking for preparing a turning pitch.
Bresnan is a pointless ODI inclusion, average bowler can't bat.
Morgan and Bopara should have won it.
Fair play to India.

Apart from the highlighted bit I agree with all of that

This.

Remember first seeing him play for them lot and he went for about 60 from 9 overs in the old 45 over league.

All the work Onions puts in for Durham in all forms of the game for Durham and Yorkshires Bresnan still gets picked. Hmm, wonder why?

Analyse the player performance all you want.

We lost that match due to a terrible 3rd umpire decision, who seemingly went against video evidence to give bell out.

And England got a dodgy one against New Zealand. Wouldn't even have reached the semis.

What a bunch of bottlers :lol:
 
The Bell dismissal didn't help, but we cannot blame that alone for our failure. As stated elsewhere, being at the stage of 20 from 15 needed, with 2 well set batsmen at the crease and failing by 5 runs is criminal.

I'd be looking at the shot Bopara played immediately after Morgan had been dismissed more than the Bell dismissal
