Wood has had a nightmare. Need a good last 10.

[PaulWinch again]

South Africa are on the move.

380 minimum. Tired batters against fresh bowlers. Lose by 100+. Appalling decision to bat second.

We'd have lost batting first too. We'd have been 20/3 and that is practically where the tail starts

[PaulWinch again]

Given the conditions it seems mad we’ve chosen to field in the heat of the day. Our batters are going to have nothing.

[PaulWinch again]

And we’re going to be chasing 400.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s horrible conditions but we chose to bowl in what will presumably be the worst of them??

[Steve67]

This has been a really tough watch and some crap decision making.  Some fantastic batting from Jansen and Klassen though, put every single poor delivery away, and there's been far too many poor deliveries.

[Steve67]

Klassen goes for 109.  South African going at 8 an over.  Jeez.

[Aldridge Villa]

That was a painful watch. No sympathy for the ECB though , I can’t even remember who won this season’s domestic 50 over format because it has been so drastically marginalised.

[Meanwood Villa]

Just need to have a Hundred world cup

[Richard]

Where do you start with this shitshow...poor captaincy and coaching, unbalanced team, too many older players. Think it's just the end of this cycle, and now time to start looking at the next rebuild. I'd ditch Buttler as captain for starters, he's not in the same league as Morgan was.

[Rory]

It's like going back in time ten years. Very disappointing.

[Stu]

Embarrassingly bad performance from England. They have not looked good at any point in this tournament so far, and there is a lot of discussion about some of the team being more interested in playing golf.

I'd be more interested in playing golf if this was how I played cricket.

(Obviously I'm shit at both but, y'know.)
