[Cricket] ICC CWC: England v Pakistan at Trent Bridge

[vegster]

Bloody hell Mo is vulnerable.

He has been for a while, starting to wonder what he is in the team for ? his bowling today produced his best figures for quite a while and he does not dominate bowlers like he used to.

 

[Triggaaar]

Left ourselves too much to do

 

[papajaff]

Hit the ****ing thing. Ok I'm not a Cricket purist but singles are no ****ing good!!

So frustrating

This is fun!

Need at least half a dozen boundaries from 3 overs!

5 boundaries needed.

 

[Luke93]

Need a boundary every other ball.

No chance.

Wahab chucks the ball, that isn't bowling.

Absolute bottlers, when the pressure is on they’ve been crucified against a side who had lost their last 12, yes that’s right twelve ODIs in a row and were absolutely obliterated against a bang average West Indies in their first game.

Everyone telling them they were going to win the World Cup hasn't helped.

Lost to Australia too.

Still, a long way to go so perhaps this is a wake up call.

Ali needs to be dropped though. Contributes nothing with the bat anymore.

 

[crodonilson]

Well beaten, chokers. Bayliss and Morgan out

Think you're wrong. Biggest catch up in the WC ever. England have now become only the second side to score 300+ in their past 6 innings and Wahab throws the ball. I think you're harsh.

Agreed.

 

[maltaseagull]

Very good point made on BBC comments:

Joe Root and Jos Buttler should still be here at the end. You can say they both got a century but in that same position Virat Kohli brings his team home.

 

[Mackenzie]

The sloppy fielding cost us.

I should imagine that Root and Buttler will be apologising to their team mates.

I'd sway towards the bowling more than the fielding, Woakes took a couple of worldies.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Agreed.

Also great to see another overreaction to a sporting loss across social media

 

[Durlston]

We're no.1 in the world, the horrifying run in is theirs, not ours.

And there was me worrying. We've got a banker next game against Bangladesh.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Agreed.

I thought we played brilliantly in the batting side.
