I didn't think that was out. From behind the stumps he'd made his ground before his momentum forced his bat up.

third umpire has got that wrong for me, I don't think you can say the shoulder of the bat is definitely not down there, the reverse angle casts enough doubt for me.

I'm not sure how that could be given out really.  Broad really needs to step up here.

Moores was the wrong choice at the time (he'd already failed with England and then gone away and done very little in the county game before getting the job back)

Apart from leading Lancashire to their first title win in 77 years, I'm not a fan but credit where it's due.

and then relegating them the next season.

Yes but winning the championship isn't 'very little'. As I say I'm not a fan of him or Lancashire but it's the biggest thing you can win in the domestic game.

Ok, very little may be harsh, let's restate it as 'with mixed results and nothing that showed that he was clearly binned too soon'.

I tuned into TMS during the debate about the run out. Aggers was worried from the start that the bat wasn't down.

What was the original on-field decision ? Or did the umpire just call straight for the video ?

Straight to the third umpire.

I think that England are going to fluke their way out of this mess

Will be tight

.........or maybe not

What a shambles

[peter w]

hmph

[steffo]

Taxi for Moores

[Villan For Life]

Fecking woeful. A new low in English cricket.

[passitsideways]

Fecking hell. I guess I overestimated England's abilities

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Useless.

At least that shower of shit can't humiliate us further.

Oh wait, they still have to play Afghanistan...

What an utter fucking shambles. Moores and arguably Downton have to go now. As was said earlier, in the batting, there is a nucleus of a good side. Ali, Buttler, Root, Taylor, Hales and Morgan(if in form) are all capable going forward. They just need to be given the licence to play. The bowling is terrible, it's all one paced with no variation. The whole attitudue to ODI cricket has to change. It's an utterly embarrassing World Cup and question marks will be raised over the future of Broad after his display in the tournament.
