Stokes has decided enough is enough anyway, having a swing, but you watch him get out to a shit shot

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

It surely cannot be the case, but it's looked like they don't want to be there from the very beginning of the tournament.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I am going to regret saying this but of all the England batsmen and all rounders these 2 are probably the strongest characters 130 for 7 incoming!)

 

[BringBackSwales]

Maybe the colour clash will be our excuse for this one

Regretting it

Bairstow out playing on the walk. Again
Stokes out last match playing on the walk. Again.

This is not rocket science - if your balance isn't stable, you'll screw up.

As for Buttler's captain's shot...

 

[snorky]

Wank

Aggers has had enough, just exited the commentary booth after Ali's pathetic catching practice

 

[mickster2]

Buttler is weak as piss as a captain; was a strange decision to give him it in the first place.

The guy's an introvert and not the leader of men you need in a capt. He's one of those players who plays best when he can retreat into his own world and just focus on his batting & keeping. As soon as you make him do stuff outside his comfort zone the whole shebang - including his own form - falls apart like it is now.

These England players have won the world cup and the 20/20 World Cup so now this is the dip! Few will retire few will stay and we build again!

Where is the next World Cup?

South Africa I think

 

[BringBackSwales]

South Africa I think

South Africa and Zimbabwe joint hosts

 

[BringBackSwales]

That didn’t look out did it? Won’t make any difference mind

 

[snorky]

Not out.

 

[BringBackSwales]

The top 4 is almost done and dusted in this tournament, barring a late run from Pakistan. Makes the long winded nature of it too many games

 

[waspish]

For me that's out straight in his hands! 2 dimensional tv don't show the whole picture!

 

[BringBackSwales]

What are the thoughts on the future? Wholesale clear out and if so who stays? More importantly who comes in?

Afghanistan still have a slight chance.

Wasn't for me mate. The fielder didn't seem at all confident.

I guess Sri Lanka have a similar outside chance to Pakistan and Afghanistan assuming they win today. I think India, SA and NZ are pretty nailed on, and Australia are on a roll (and still have England to play!). Australia v Afghanistan could be a decider
