Our fielding on the whole has been very average.

Yes it does, and it's not good enough. It's going to take some batting effort to win this.

Bresnan bowling really isn't up to it and he's becoming a liability.

I don't think we have a chance. I think Broad is a poor captain

In fairness he can't help the dreadful fielding.

I do wonder why Bopara isn't bowling though.

I know but he's too much of a hothead. Can't be making the right decisions when he's like that

This has been an incredibly ill disciplined performance, we need a huge batting display now.

Bresnan has been a liability in limited over cricket for ages, Broad cannot do anything about poor fielding, catches win matches so we are getting our arses handed to us again....

got to bat very, very well to win this match.

4 off Moeen Ali's first over why hasn't he bowled again? Why hasn't Bopara bowled at all? and Bresnan and Dernbach aren't good enough bowlers.

Jordan finally gets Jayawardene, I do like Jordan he's one player I'd persevere with.

What I will say is that a poor fielding side tends to reflect the coaching and management of the team. It seems to have continued from the Ashes and doesn't bode well for Giles.
