Bopara is out best limited bowler we have not just the best T20 bowler at the moment.

I haven't looked recently, but Moeen only had one over, whilst the same old seamers were getting battered.

"This has been a spirited performance by England but an incompetent one. They are going to be chasing 180 minimum." Vic Marks. BBC website.

Incompetence which starts at the manager/coach with bad plans and team selection.

I just thought the same thing! Didn't he only bowl 1 over in the last game for not too many aswell?

Sri Lanka should declare as England won't chase that down!! Judging by the commentary, England have been generous in their fielding and catching....so Sri Lanka should return the favour by declaring! 
Also, drop Dernbach or Bresnan and play Bell or another batsman! Bopara and Ali would bowl overs so not short!!

It's probably been discussed, but why hasn't Carbs been picked for this tournament? He was out there as well, considering how class he is in T20.

Complete mystery. Poor bloke doesn't stand a chance anymore. What does he have to do?

[tim2000s]

I don't really understand why Ravi and Moeen haven't really bowled

Or why we haven't got a proper batsman (Bell fattuscattus for those wondering) playing...?

Slowest over rate ever? 10 overs per hour is just ridiculous. All the coaching staff and back room staff and the players don't know where to field. Meetings every ball about bowling plans.

59 drops!

Buffet bresnan strikes again at the death. Such a rubbish bowler, yet gets called a death specialist

[petehosk]

The England Squad selection, team selection and coach/management is completely messed up right now, so no chance that the likes of KP, Carbs or anyone else will be considered!
Until things change, I can only see a downhill trip from here!

Bloody hell we couldn't catch a cold!

The umpire decision will be blamed, Broad will have to chose his words wisely. Wouldn't be surprised if when asked about he he replies "no comment"

Can't get angry at a umpiring decision if you drop everything afterwards....

Still, if there's one upside, it has to be that Giles is unlikely to get the full England Coach job...

I'd add the ECB themselves to that list

190 to win? Seriously?
We will struggle to get to 160!!

As all my video games used to say in my teenage years....GAME OVER!!
