Just a point of order, games at CLS this coming week been mentioned it will be cold cliche
Well it’s cracking the pavements currently
Thing is this is not the team that’s beat all comers everywhere. There is no hales, plunkett or David Wiley. All absent due to choice. It’s led to order changes and a lack of variety with wood and archer
Yeah for sure, Willey should have played against Australia, never mind in the squad
They picked Curran because he got some wickets in the build up, so what? He is never gonna play
I have some sympathy with England in the fact that the tournament has been nothing like what anyone thought, including the so called experts in the media
Michael Vaughan said 300 would be nowhere near enough in the WC and someone would get 500
different pitches, different venues, its been harder and things have snow balled
We should have adapted better but its I think its more that they just didn't grasp the importance of losing to Sri Lanka, they just thought, loads of other games left, we can win it there
If they'd just won that game they;d be absolutely fine and would get to the semis
I am not making excuses for them like, they will deserve to go out if they do.
Even Root who has had a great world cup, in the last 2 games has made liek 45 in important chases, Buttler next to nothing
Its easy to throw it at Vince or Bairstow or Ali or whatever, but our big players didn't step up in these 2 massive games
Finch got a 100, Warner got 50 odd etc
You don't get 2nd chances
