Three more fuck ups and we're out. West Indies, Bangladesh, India, Australia and NZ to come. All will be taking notes...

Rhodes with The Desh on Saturday will have been watching and will know a fair bit already.
 

Shit.

This doesn’t define us as a team however - this side is strong enough to bounce back.
Hopefully we can come back against Bangladesh.

Keep the faith.

England could win 20 in a row and lose one and people will talk about 'buckling when the pressure is on'. Its a load of shite. Its a tournament full of world class players who can beat you with a world class knock or you can simply have an off day like today. If England had won today it would have been a world record chase in the world cup. England are favourites to win but any of 4 or 5 could because anyone can beat anyone. Getting beat doesn't mean bottling it.
 
Fielding and treating the Paks like we just had to turn up has cost us today....Ya could see the frustration in the England team when we were getting whacked all ower the place by their batsmen ….Archer bowling high bouncers , dropped catches and sloppy fielding...better to play shite now than a knock out game later ...That result will do England nee harm watsoever

Exactly could not a put it better.

Best one day side England have ever had! By a long way.

We have a simply brilliant side and lost one game, and all of sudden we bottlers, and 2 lads scoring hundreds are called idiots by one poster.

Bit perspective required?

Nah some of the reaction on here has been silly.

But on this twice world record ground I found it odd we chose to field.

I see the old Johnson laughing smiley is ever present.

What would you call it then? The fact they turned up and thought because we beat them 4-0 a few weeks ago this would be a cakewalk. It’s arrogant as fuck and they’ve been shown up.

Back your best suit - bat.

I maintain though that this might be the best thing that could happen to us in the long run.

This for me. The only real thing that was a shambles today was the fielding, no real excuse for that across 50 overs. Was just too casual.
