2015 Cricket World Cup Australia/ New Zealand

Silly mistake from him.

Bit hard to control a bat when you are diving along the ground. He got the bat down and the video would suggest part of it was still grounded. Not sure how the 3rd umpire could be 100% sure but there you go. When you are shit, you get shit luck as well.
 
Whatever the result Saker, Moores and Morgan need to be got shot of immediately. It's embarrassing.
 
Dropped catch! Nerves kicking in for Bangers here
 
He should have caught that. Big let off for England. We could still win this.
 
Shambles, worse than the football team and that was a particularly low bar.
 
Appalling. This reminds me of Wolves under Saunders, watching us crumble under some awful, awful people who spout absolute drivel in the face of horrible results and clear, obvious, repeated mistakes, and all you can hope is that they clear off as soon as possible.

No excuse for Moores and Morgan to be keeping their jobs.
 
Sorry, but that was just not good enough from England. We should be doing better with the players we have available.
 
Yep Moores and Morgan out please. Saker too. This needs a big shake up but I doubt we'll get it. Great win for Bangladesh though
 
That was embarrassing.

What a shambles of a tournament
 
FFS. The administrators of the England team need to hold their heads in shame.

Crap decisions of appointing the coach and captain.
 
Serious times this and time for action big time, a whole ashes tour was moved to prepare for this absolute shambolic display. ECB, Moores and Morgan hold your heads in shame for dropping England to there lowest point in history.
 
And having back to back Ashes tests was the start of the problem. We should have had a more level headed approach to the World Cup. Throwing in 10 tests made no sense, but there again, neither has little else since then. Changing captains just before the tournament started, and then changing the batting line up in the first game they say you re what you sow. How very true.
 
I would say this is worse than losing to Holland at the T20 World Cup (which cost Giles his job), given that:


- T20 is by its very nature prone to random, freak events and odd results from time to time
- The 2014 defeat was a dead rubber anyway
- The conditions we're playing in here and how they should massively favour us rather than Bangladesh
- Chasing a relatively paltry total and failing


Everyone saw this coming with Morgan though, he had been in no form at all for months and has been on an inexorable slide for about four years. You don't drop a failing captain who is struggling for runs and appoint someone who has been playing even worse for a long period. I hope I never see him in an England shirt again, it was down to him to set the tone and he has contributed nothing of his own with the bat and very little by way of dynamism in the field or with our approach to setting/chasing targets.


Plenty saw this coming with Moores, don't reappoint someone who failed dismally the first time and since then has a relegation from Division One of the County Championship on his CV. The results were awful last time and they have been awful this time. He just does not belong at this level. Giles never had his strongest team available in ODIs, Moores does not have that excuse and has a miles inferior record.
