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.

Exactly the lack of perspective and looking at the bigger picture is mind boggling at times on this board.

In tournament cricket there is no bigger picture. It's all about the next six weeks. A load of wins in series and this shite about 17 wins chasing at home when a shitty little pot in the shape of a pelican is at stake, means nothing
 
Sloppy stuff at the end of their innings cost us 15-20 runs, and that cost us as batting we could never quite get over the hump and get it down to a run a ball.

Good game though.

You can see Mickey Arthur’s team talk this morning. ‘Forget that last series lads, when it comes to the real deal we know what will happen’.

Good old 'one game' shite. We were beaten by Australia two games ago.

TBF I wouldn't care that much if we hadn't spent the last four years building a team to win this tournament at expense of everything else.

And we have won about 80% of our other games, and have the best one day side we have ever had!

Honestly don't know what people want, win every game all of the time!

Yeah but the tournament is over a league format of 9 games where everybody plays each other and top 4 qualify!

So no problem whatsoever as the bigger picture is we have a hell of a side and will qualify no problem at all.

So guess the bookies don't think this match means nowt, and still fancy them to win it!

Said it all day, win the toss and f***ing bat first. People massively underestimate scoreboard pressure sometimes.

Especially in a World Cup. But then even we can stuff that up. Just look at Stokes sending down his Fray Bentos finest to Carlos ‘never do anything else in his career’ Brathwaite in the World T20.
