A shambolic batting display. Showed how flaky this team actually is. Obviously never been a fan of Moeen and think that if Curran had played instead of him we probably would have won.
Moeen and Vince out and Curran and Roy in but know it wont happen (well, the Curran bit anyway).
The problem now is that if we do qualify it is likely as 4th and likely v India in semis England fucked it up again.
If we do come 4th then the semi will be at Old Trafford though which will probably suit us better than Edgbaston where the other semi if being played, as Edgbaston is more of a slow spinners surface
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

OTT from StigT but his diatribe contains a lot of worthy opinion .. we lack the class of the Indian team and the grit, determination and bloody mindedness of the Aussies and Kiwis
If we lose to all of Australia, India and NZ, do we really deserve to be a) in the semi-finals and b) regarded as 'the best one-day team in the world'?

This was a blip. Still completely in our hands.
Win the next five games and there won't be any doubt.
224-8 50 overs. Best I've ever seen Afghanistan bowl (not that i'm an Afghan expert). I'd like to think they've got a good chance here, but India will probably roll them over.
They can do this, you know. Whether they will or not is another matter. But this from India is roughly equal (so far) in its embarrassment to England yesterday. International cricket isn't as easy as it looks!

Please let Roy be fit soon.

India looking very likely winners.
