Absolutely pathetic collapse that. Why the fuck did Bopara go for that :roll:

spinners bowled very well and their fielding has improved no end.

Have to say though, I think England lost that game more than India having to win it.

Morgan and Bopara playing silly shots after a big six and two wides had already been bowled in an over. It was sensible cricket required from then and they didnt do it.

India deserved the tournament overall though. Without doubt

Can't blame Morgan and Ravi imo, it was them that gave us the chance to win it, was still very possible when they went out too.
 
Farce from start to finish.

That decision to give bell out was just ludicrous.

And their 3rd umpire...

The one thing that made me angry (Other than Bresnan being in the team) is US giving India a turning wicket.....

they got in and they should have seen it through. 20 from 15 was needed and they both threw their wickets away. Two very poor shots. They had hit the bad ball well and been patient up until that point and then both had a huge rush of blood.

Two new batsmen at the crease needing 20 from 13 with the ball spinning was a big ask from then on in.

Bopara and Morgan got us in the position and then lost us the game. Batsmen earn their corn from winning games not from getting their tail end in a position to win it
 
Not too disappointed, The best team in the tournament won, just would have preferred to have been hammered rather than throwing it away like we did.

Proper cricket starts July 10th anyway

They both fell for the sucker ball anarl - just needed to see the team home
 
Analyse the player performance all you want.

We lost that match due to a terrible 3rd umpire decision, who seemingly went against video evidence to give bell out.
