    And then Livingstone plants a long hop into the hands of Abbott the sub at mid wicket for 2 (5)
    Good diving catch to be fair but Livingstone should’ve tried to hit it into the ground past him not in the air…

    Not looking good when all your hopes are resting on the shoulders of Moeen batting with the tail… gonna need a sizeable hundred from Mo to get close now
  • I really don’t understand why Livingstone continues to be picked over Brook.

    Brook can bat 4, Stokes to 5 and Buttler to 7 makes the batting line up so much better.

    Livingstone, Rashid and Mo bowled 10 overs between them. Root didn’t bowl. If Rashid and Mo can’t go 10 each because one of them is getting pumped, give Root the 4-5 overs Livingstone is giving you currently.
  • Moeen gone the same way as others to Zampa
  • And.....goodnight. 

    Change of ball always works. 
  • Even with Pakistan trying to help us stay in this competition we crumble as soon as the pressure is put on. 
  • Waiting to see what comes first.....

    England officially getting knocked out 

    Or

    Millwall getting 3 points.
  • Too many "dot or slog" balls. 
  • Zampa finishes with figures of 10-0-21-3 and has taken 18 wickets in his last five games

    Australia were 11/10 this morning. More free money. Ive done well out of England in this tournament

  • Zampa secures the MOM with a great running, diving catch to get Willey in the deep off Hazelwood for 15 (14)

    216-8 off 43.2
  • 61 required off the final 5 overs
  • At this point we should be batting for net run rate, in case it's decisive in whether we finish 8th or 9th. 
  • 54 off 4 overs. Australia gambling by leaving Stoinis, Head or Green to bowl two of the final three overs. Almost certainly that will be Stoinis. 
  • 44 off 3 overs
  • Stoinis bowls a juicy full toss that Rashid gets off the back of his bat for six over third man!
  • And Woakes becomes the nth player to be caught on the boundary for 32 (33)

    34 required off the last 2 overs
  • 253 all out. Australia win by 33 runs
  • In relative terms, that was one of the better England performances this tournament. Or less bad to be more accurate.

  • This w/c has made me grateful I’m not a cricket fan 😂 
  • The exact same team has played in the last three games and we've lost all of them:

    34 & 39 days
    36 & 62 days
    32 & 309 days
    32 & 153 days
    33 & 57 days
    36 & 139 days
    30 & 92 days
    34 & 247 days
    33 & 249 days
    35 & 260 days
    33 & 297 days

    The four players omitted:

    24 & 255 days
    25 & 154 days
    25 & 289 days
    28 & 96 days

    The re-building has to start now. Not at the end of the tournament. 
  • A slightly less pathetic performance compared to the stock game from England this WC but really still went down with a whimper pretty much from the 45th over of Australia’s innings
  • England has won the toss and have elected to field
    Stuck in the "chasing is the way to win" mindset, which really hasn't been the reality for most matches in this WC

    You mean rebuilding with the 19 players who have just been given central contracts.

    If only the ECB had thought of that!
  • T20 World Cup coming up - let’s look ahead to that 
  • T20 World Cup coming up - let’s look ahead to that 
    With a new coach and Captain i hope.

    Trott and Brook would be my choice

    Time for a clean sweep. No more Bairstow , Root , Stokes , Milan , Ali or Rashid . We need to start again with a younger crop of players and there is plenty of talent out there . A total clean sweep is needed. I'm talking both forms of White ball Cricket. What was the ECB thinking dishing out contracts before the world cup?
    No wonder the players weren't motivated. They should have been made to play for those contracts .
