[Archived] Cricket World Cup

Thought there was a thread for this already, but might have been lost.

Just watched England vs Bangladesh. Christ that was poor.

Very disappointing, a good knock from Buttler but to get knocked out by Bangladesh was not something I would have envisaged a month ago. The gap between England and the top teams appears massive at the moment . Anyway it could get worse, we still have to play Afganistan

Awful by England. The world cup is too spaced apart to me, so no momentum has been built yet. A game once a week just seems daft.

Playing more than a game a week would not have helped England. They have been in a sorry state for at least 18 months.

Changes need to be made asap.

I watched the highlights. To be honest, if we had beaten Bangladesh (and then Afghanistan) we would have been absolutely slaughtered by India in the quarter finals.

There seems to be a few similarities between the England cricket set-up and the Rovers; Bad often clueless management, baffling team selection, laboured performances, resistance to change, jobs for the boys, playing with the shackles on.
