ODI World Cup

Yeah need to let it go mate :D it was a terrible decision that particular toss, however the way we have played this tournament would have not mattered if we won every single toss and made the right decision each time we have been that poor.

Hard to let go when we're probably gonna win the toss and chase again in our last two.

I was only labouring on the point as I disagree with the Indian pitch fix claims. If South Africa won the toss they'd have likely put on a score themselves.

Yeah was only jesting a bit mate, toss decisions been confusing to say the least.

Just making the point we have been soo bad, and soo underperformed don’t think would have made any difference.

Just horrendous application by such experienced cricketers all round

I honestly believe that if we had chosen a totally inexperienced squad from the county setup, kids etc we couldn't have done any worse. Not one player from this squad have covered themselves with any glory. That takes some doing with nearly 10 games played.

Dunno why most of the game's are starting at 2pm (their time). Surely it would be a fairer contest if they started at 10:30am and both teams are batting in daylight.

Viewing figures, bigger crowds (in theory) that sort of shit. Never mind how it affects the actual games as a contest

his helmet strap snapped as he was about to take guard, he could have faced the spinner without a helmet but even still

They'd brought a second helmet on and he wasn't happy with that either, he should have been ready.They're international cricket players, you wouldn't see that in a pub league.

I think you right mate in hindsight, but there was absolutely no way imo, anyone could have predicted such a collective disaster from such a experienced and capable squad that was picked.

In the main apart from maybe 2/3 players the squad picked would have been picked by most imo

:lol: that's ultimate shithousing by Bangladesh, unless Matthews really was taking the piss

Looks like he had a problem with his helmet. Proper shithousing from Bangladesh. Went down in my estimations. Not in the spirit of the game that.

Yep, no one could have predicted what we've seen mate, I don't think you'll find anyone who had a problem with the squad either once Brook was added.
