As Senior bowlers, I would have expected better from Swann and Anderson at the end.

Before we give the bowlers the shit that they fully deserve, it wasn't helped by a shit score to defend from the batsmen - only 2 players got over 20 runs. Against a side like Bangladesh that is beyond shit.

To be honest, whilst the matches against India and South Africa have been great entertainment, England could easily be looking at four defeats.  The victory against the Dutch wasn't convincing, either.

A team that loses to Ireland and Bangladesh is not amongst the best eight in the world.

I'm sorry but this largely comes down to our bowling being desperately sloppy. 23 wides is a fucking disgrace. Also playing Collingwood as a 'bowler' is fucking mental. Terrible.

This World Cup has been an utter shambles from England's perspective, it's currently inexcusable. We have to beat the West Indies to stand a chance.

Why not bring Tredwell & Wright in for Colly & Anderson? They deserve a chance after so long out there.

I agree Tremlett is a better bowler, but Wright better fits in with our jack of all trades, master of none ethos!

Very embarrassing. One shock is one thing but to lose to ireland and bangladesh shows something is wrong. It must be the team. Why persist with the average Yardy/Bopara/Wright type players? the have consistently been average so why do we persist with them, hopoing that they will turn into the bits and pieces players only England think are the way to win 50 over games?
