Did the hard work then fucked it up

Well, we got close…

Got in a winning position and then lost

Have you ever batted on a slow pitch? It’s so hard to smack the ball far.

Like they have never played on it before ??? Its poor movement by the batsman, Stand a foot more out of the crease and watch the ball out of the hand

Any way all over and England lose, Very Poor

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

The power play cost us, Salt unlucky, Bairstow and Buttler never got going.

Got in a winning position and then lost

Yeah, sort of. The ball was always on top throughout the match really. The pitch was a pudding.

Have we still got a chance of progressing or is that it now?

Each pitch you play on is different. I’m assuming you’ve never actually played on a slow pitch, so are deciding that professionals should be able to smash every ball out of the park regardless of conditions.

It doesn’t work like that, as we’ve seen today and throughout cricketing history.

Good chance if we beat USA. It might come down to NRR if WI beat SA.

That's the key, Forget having 5 wickets in the shed at the end, use the power play to smash the runs ? Only 2 fielders out of the inner cycle so have a go
