Jos Buttler is a complete waste of space.

This is still doable but England need to calm down.

Utter fiasco- unacceptable collapse at this level- the game was in the bag - suicidal cricket!

Absolutely shocking England, absolutely shocking. Jos Buttler is a complete and utter waste of space who should never be in the team. The third umpire was a disgrace as well.

To say that they choked is being generous.

That was very disappointing. The Bell decision beggared belief although looked like it might not matter. 2 wickets in 2 balls. Farce.

Morgan's dismissal is the most to blame. We'd taken 8 from the first 2 balls of the over leaving us needing 24 off 22 ish, yet he continued playing an ugly hoik to a ball he got nowhere near to. Moronic.

To be fair, India have played very well through the tournament.

I'll requalify on Buttler, he's played 13 ODIs and has an average of 12.88. What on earth has he done to be in front of Prior? He might be ok in the future, but his record is nowhere near good enough. We also paid for early sloppy fielding.

Morgan and Bopara getting out in consecutive balls killed us today, we really did choke.

I'd rather keep Prior fresh for the proper battles. Apparently, the selectors approached Steven Davies but he said no?
