The only winners in the England camp today were Roy and Stokes. We are really going to need to set a total against India because our chasing has been abysmal.
Root was fine scored 50 & took a wonderful catch. Bowlers did well enough. Vince, Morgan & Buttler didn't produce. Bairstow got a jaffer. missed a straight one.
Why is Ali always the scapegoat? He bowled a terrific spell and was clearly under instructions to play his shots. County top six batsmen Woakes and Rashid could hardly have been expected to fold to a part time offspinner
the slightest hint of quality or fight in the opposition and this crop of superannuated charlatans piss their knickers and betray their utter lack of backbone when the squeeze came none of the thieving "senior" players bar Ben Stokes took an ounce of responsibility gossamer characters trading on ''there's always someone else who will get us over the line'' balderdash and piffle favourites for the cricket world cup? makes me puke they're as up to that job as the helmet is up to running an English football club and with all the integrity of a tory party leadership candidate
"playing smart cricket?" - christ knows if they've collectively got the grey matter, that won't matter a bugger all the time they lack any of the chutzpah just about a rabble of flat track bullies, on a good day Aussies and India won't be losing a moment's sleep about this phoney piss weak dog and pony show Pakistan and Sri Lanka ain't gonna get close to winning this but they've both had plenty in hand over Morgan's muppets

Tbf Malinga is the only bowler I've seen live, where I couldn't actually see the ball, after it left his hand (side on).

Agreed but when was the last time Ali played a decent innings? And he may be more economical than Rashid for the most part but he averages less than a wicket per match at nearly 50.

I agree with the sentiment. We're certainly not showing the Aussies never say die attitude.

I can't see it when Moeen Ali bowls. Especially in the late afternoons...

Play on a stodgy pitch we struggle
How we do in the knockout phase might depend on what the pitch is like
