FFS!

Playground shot from Bairstow, just awful cricket

 

[Tredman]

Getting to the point where I'd be happy to never see Bairstow play for England again, always looks like he can't give a fuck

 

[jd1981]

I’ve gone past anger now and am now in acceptance that we’re entering a period of transition. Nevertheless there’s going out with a bit of dignity and there’s being embarrassed unfortunately were the latter.

Buttler gets out in wafting at a shot and edging behind wow I’m shocked.
I mean look at the movement of his feet I mean lack of it.

 

[jd1981]

This is just getting fucking hilarious now

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Rarely has a team done well when they do obviously don’t want to be there

 

[Tredman]

massive clear out needed

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The entire side today is over 30 so Mother Nature should take care of that

But we have also handed all of them (bar Willey, mercifully) at least a year's contract...

I've had meetings most of the morning so have missed the carnage. Don't think I'll bother switching on!

The stupidity of the ECB knows no bounds but even it cannot defeat father time

 

[jd1981]

Well Woakes has been as much use as chocolate fire guard

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And a comedy run out completes my bingo card

 

[jd1981]

Good chance Mott will get sacked for this, not all his fault and probably only a small proportion his but he’ll be the fall guy.
Root and Bairstow set the tone for this innings with ridiculous running and shot selection it lit the touch paper then spread like wild fire.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m not sure there needs to be a fall guy really.

 

[jd1981]

I’m not sure there needs to be a fall guy really.

There doesn’t but the ECB will find one they often do even though it’s their fault mainly for this shit show.

 

[darlowolf64]

Well that was a shitshow!

 

[jd1981]

You’d like to think this horror show of a World Cup would enforce the ECB to look at what they’ve done wrong but they won’t.

The Hundred is a red herring here, England players haven't played domestic 50 over cricket with any regularity for ages.

It's ODIs being downgraded in priority worldwide since 2019 and the side all going over the hill at the same time.
