Northern Red Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 The dismissals were those of a team who've given up and want to go home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 26, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hopefully we finish bottom of the table now and it kicks the ECB etc arse into doing something about our 50 over competition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Been out all morning, left at 50-1 and starting to look ok WTAF happened ???? England have gone from World beaters to this ( I was going to say panel beaters but this is no joke ) Looking at the team you would think the batting is the strong point, bloody hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) The lowest ever 50 over score at this ground! Having said that, is a fantastic bowling performance on the cards, just to prove it was not England’s fault, but the wicket?

Super Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Can't we send this lot home and send out the Lions team for the remaining games? Utterly embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 How much 50 over cricket has this team played, majority I think have reached the end of their careers, wrong side of 30 and best days behind them. No real planning for this tournament just T20 and 100 cricket, something has to change in the domestic game or there is no point playing in a 50 over tournament with players who hardly play it.

TonyTonyTony Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 England Played no 50 over cricket, from the last series against Bangladesh in early March until September. Horrendous planning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Entire eleven today over the age of thirty, they still have four dead rubbers to play. Genuinely, may as well send out the squad that played against Ireland for the rest of the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 India on Sunday isn`t it? Mind you it would be such an England thing to do if they went and beat them. Nope. Me neither! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markthehorn Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 What a disaster! Usually get home from work in time to watch a bit but cannot even manage that. Not like we can even say the defeats have been close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Did they get cocky and greedy, thinking they'd a great team and didn't need regular 50-over matches and could mess about with their stupid new format that nobody else plays instead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 It was an arrogant preparation. They thought they could just play 50 over games like 20 over games really. Go big at the start and end and then knock it around in the middle 10 overs. But the top 6 haven’t been good enough to still be there after about 30-35 overs. I don’t really think their age is a massive factor. Nobody was saying that these players shouldn’t be picked 6 weeks ago. It’s just an arrogant lack of prep and application 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 SA are going to have a big target here unless Pakistan lose a couple of quick wickets. Should be 350+ rate they`re going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
