England: Can't mess this up!
Also England: Hold my beer.
Harry Brook: Drank the beer sorry.
England: Can't mess this up!surely they can’t mess this one up
I think they've missed a trick not opening with Richard Osman & Warwick DavisSometimes the selection policy rationale seems to border on the absurd. Brook (on why Crawley was picked having not played a 50 over game for over 2 years) "we like the height difference between Crawley and Duckett"
Few overs ago Finn was talking about how they just need to keep ticking over and can get there without taking any risks then they implode again.England weii and truly messing this one up.
English batsmen seem to have a low cricketing IQ, Jacks and Buttler both got out trying to hit sixes when they were well ahead of the required rate & there was no need. West Indies did bowl well and deserved to win but at 74/1 in the 7th over England should have got closer and probably won.Few overs ago Finn was talking about how they just need to keep ticking over and can get there without taking any risks then they implode again.
We were lucky to beat Nepal and now we've lost to the Windies who aren't exactly the hot favourites for the tournament.
wtf is he on about? they were ahead of the required rate and started trying to smash sixes when they just needed to keep the scoreboard ticking over to winCaptain Harry Brook said England's batters were "too careful" in their 30-run defeat by West Indies at the T20 World Cup.
Loving this world cup. Its so much better with the 'smaller' nations in it and playing well.Australia lose to Zimbabwe
I hope Pakistan beat India, it seems to me that India can do whatever they want and the ICC let them get away with it.Loving this world cup. Its so much better with the 'smaller' nations in it and playing well.
Would prefer to see it go straight to knockout after the group stages. That way if you have a lower ranked team sneak through they're only one good day from a semi final rather than going into the super 8s and having the odds massively stacked against them.
I think people forget that the smaller nations play more T20 then the test playing nations, so are actually more experienced in some ways.Loving this world cup. Its so much better with the 'smaller' nations in it and playing well.

As long as McCullum gets to jet set around the world England’s results don’t matterFucks sake, surely they aren’t going to screw this chase up???
Did better towards the end of the innings, posted a decent score and have started well bowlingI give up. Italy for fucks sake.
You were saying?Did better towards the end of the innings, posted a decent score and have started well bowling
And lost to the other biggy in the groupA wins a win and all that but lets be honest. Its Italy, should not be a game that comes down to 20 runs and have the commentators still talking about a shock win with 2 overs to go.
If it was a one off you could say maybe they took it too easy or it was just one of those days but every 'lesser' side we've faced so far we've struggled to beat.
don't think we're a particularly good bowling side atm. Still seems a continuation of other England teams in that bowlers will do what they can and hopefully batsmen will bail the team out.A wins a win and all that but lets be honest.

Agree... There doesn't seem to be much of a plan with the bowling, except in White ball cricket recently, they've oftern been bailed out by Rashid, and he's not been up to his usually exceptional levels in this tournamentdon't think we're a particularly good bowling side atm.
