What’s really truly disappointing is I don’t think any of the 10 got out to unplayable deliveries, all were either poor shots or poor mentality or both. Had we just had some proper application, (like we see from NZ and SA when they lose an early wicket or two) and got an extra 50 to 100 runs we’d be in this game. Unfortunately our batters’ weak mentality means they can’t just stick about, keep the scoreboard ticking over and attack in the latter overs. It is awful mentality

Played almost in the dark, those were the days.

It’s weird how in those days 25 needed in 5 overs with 3 or 4 wickets left was quite a target (even in daylight!)

The commentators desperately trying to suggest there's a game on here.

We’ve normally lost by now, to be fair.

Did we have any sort training camps before the tournament, We had a couple of warm up games but weather effected then straight into it, I think we was under no pressure what so ever to win it because of the last touraments wins, But we have been so poor that Questions have to be asked about how bad we have played.

Trying their hardest to finish bottom. We have been shocking.

Train wreck of a performance. And I'm not just talking about this match. This match is just the guard's van, last one off the rails and into the ravine.

Inexcusable. Regardless of how much 50 overs cricket they've played.

Looking like -1.55 to -1.65 NRR and back to 9th once this ends.

They look like they have only just taken up the game.

I read before this World Cup how important it is to win the toss. Well we’ve won the last 3 tosses and been hammered in all 3, including by the mighty Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. I suppose we are fortunate to have seen England win 2 world cups in the last 4 years as I don’t think it’s happening again any time soon
