Good that NSC are writing the side off as they usually recover quite nicely afterwards.

England's bowling just not varied enough? Would Willey have been better opening than Vince, as well as adding a left arm seamer to he mix? Pressure of being favourites got to them?
There are three routes to winning the world cup
1 - We somehow save this game. We can probably afford a loss against NZ and India to get through. Beat India in the semi and the probably the Aussies in the final
2 – We lose this game. We beat India and NZ. We may get to avoid India in the semi, but would probably play them in the final
3 – We lose this game. A very odd set of results mean that we only need to win one more to get to the semi. We beat India and most likely the Aussies in the knockout
If we save, this game, beat NZ, India, then say, Aussies then India in the final ….. we deserve to win the tournament.
Bairstow out, 53/4 - shocking
As with our Sri Lanka innings, is Stokes the only player with a brain who knows what is required for a given match situation?
