It was a very bad result for England, But Afghanistan was great in everything they did,
Did England really want it enough, By looking at the faces of the whole England setup, It was just smiles and laughing and looking like it was a holiday in the sun for the whole of the squad, I doubt there is any coming back from this and the Knockouts are miles away if you lose to Afghanistan.
It's a Dads Army of a ODI squad. old age and little boy Brook as Pike

No you didn’t. You were asked who you would have taken instead and you went quiet.I said that after the loss to New Zealand and got smashed for saying it

Livingstone and Moeen Ali as wellI’ll bite. Who are you talking about? Buttler, Rashid, Bairstow, Wood, Woakes and Root were in both the 2019 team and played today.
I suggested earlier that picking Woakes was silly in India. The rest would be in most best XIs.
Who are the ones on their laurels?
I don't understand why Bairstow is being picked, OK he's in for the batting but his fielding is poor and looks overweight, looking at the group it looks like most of the other teams NZ will beat as well, So maybe getting them out of the way first will work in England's favour
I will say one thing ?
all of the above players you and I named will stand down after this world cup

You still haven’t suggested a replacement.
Edut: It’s easy to say players are too old. You didn’t suggest anyone that was any better. A bit like your criticism of Root’s captaincy. You didn’t like it, but agreed with me at the time that Stokes was too injury prone.
