England
Sack all the coaches and get Dizzy Gillespie in.I knew I had made the right decision not to follow this.
England have turned from heros to zeros in the space of 18 months or so and I doubt very much we will turn it round like the Aussies did.
It's pretty incredible isn't it.I knew I had made the right decision not to follow this.

Lower order are the only reason why England got so close! That were two pretty good yorkers as well. You can't blame tail-enders for this, the batsmen have to cop for this defeat.Clueless lower order.Shame.
It's okay, you go again. Next year, your year.It's pretty incredible isn't it.
Over the last 18 months I keep thinking ah so this is rock bottom, and then we sink even lower. Nothing will change though, probably sack KP again.
The state of English cricket.
Amazing clash between the minnows though, throughout the tournament.
Morgan has been a disaster (I been reading on here that he's not good enough for the past few years, couldn't believe when he got the gig). I would have preferred if we had stuck with Cook, might at least give some solidity along the way.Lower order are the only reason why England got so close! That were two pretty good yorkers as well.

Yeah.. he has to resign from captaincy now. I don't think Cook is the answer either.Morgan has been a disaster (I been reading on here that he's not good enough for the past few years, couldn't believe when he got the gig).

Problem isn't the captaincy, Cook would have just played the same role as Morgan in the end. There is something inherently wrong with the England set up and if we're being honest the squad never looked right from the moment it was picked.Morgan has been a disaster (I been reading on here that he's not good enough for the past few years, couldn't believe when he got the gig).

You mean lower middle order, yes .I though Board could have played sensibly,was he the player compared with legend Ian Botham?Lower order are the only reason why England got so close!

If we beat Arsenal latter on tonight, Piers Morgan will make Chernobyl look tame.
I cannot wait.
I agree that Cook isn't the answer, but Morgan was always going to be even less of the answer.Yeah.. he has to resign from captaincy now. I don't think Cook is the answer either.
TV are replaying the scenes from the final wicket. As the Bangladeshi players rejoiced, Joe Root - sitting alongside coach Peter Moores - blew a bubble with the green gum in his mouth. It inflated briefly, then popped and flattened against his lips. A fitting metaphor, for England's run chase, and indeed their entire World Cup.
Hot air spread by the barmy army?I dont think you can compare any part of england in this WC to the gum inflating.
Was going to say the same thing England have been dreadful from the off.I dont think you can compare any part of england in this WC to the gum inflating.
Since you're down under, you may see things differently but was there any hot air from the Barmy Army? Most England fans I know had very low expectations from this England side (qualify to the Quarters and get beat by South Africa/India) which they have failed to meet.Hot air spread by the barmy army?
That's a bit harsh. Even though I can't stand egg chasing, even I have to admit England usually do well in the World Cup. Let's also not forget it wasn't too long ago England won the T/20 World Cup.England have a habit of stinking up World Cups with their mediocrity, whether it's Rugby, Football or Cricket.
