One thing I find rather strange when looking at the England players and coaching staff at the minute is everyone seems to be having a laugh...either they know summit we don't or they don't give a fuck..:lol::lol:

Eh? It was just as bad, bairstow scored more didn't he

Why can't he just keep the ball on the ground for a few overs

The pressure wasn't on Bairstow in the same way, nor Morgan. Either way, I can't see us beating either India or NZ. Where would such an upturn in form come from?

I was telling you they wilt under pressure when chasing before the game. Everything prior to the World Cup goes out the window when it comes to this because the pressure is different.

What have they done today? Wilted under pressure.
 
Main difference in the bowling early on is they targeted the wickets more than us, brought LBW into play etc.
We did some fantastic deliveries, but they all needed an edge to get a wicket, every time they missed one it sailed to the wicket keeper.

On another day they find the edge and we have them 5 for 30 something.
