Also buttler stumped in an old masuri but bats in the new double barred one???

Bit stupid that you get two warnings in a t20 game, should be only one

[The Palmist]

Why reverse when Buttler was doing so well. Reminds me of Ponting's reverse in world cup.

England were better off playing the extra batsmen given that bopara and Ali bowled 4 overs
Tahir's pies have done pretty well this tournament. All the leggie's have done well.

[The Palmist]

Bopara is a good contributor but he is no Gayle, Hales, Dhoni. #Tough ask.

Chance for bopara to do a sammy. That Dernbach over is the difference

Exactly, no dernbach over, less scoreboard pressure. win. It's about time he was discarded!!

Bres did surprisingly well at the end. Shame about the result though. Buttler wicket was huge.

[FattusCattus]

To lose a game by 3 runs, and to have a bowler bowler 15 run overs - just sickens me.

P#ss poor captaincy and management.

[smilley792]

4 runs. Four f ing runs we've lost by. Grrrrrr.




Batting unit can hold there head high IMO, 2 190plus's I'm chases, a 177 vs New Zealand. Are 3 decent scores.
So no one can say kps the reason we are out.


Bowling, pretty dam shocking mostly, team selection and fielding are the 3 things that have cost us IMO.

Just imagine what runs the side could get with their best t20 player! Bowling crisp, fielding crap. Management out (ECB included)

[WalkingWicket37]

Without Dernbach in the side England would look a lot stronger, surely it's time to drop the useless (No Swearing Please) for someone who knows how to bowl!

Less runs. That's the whole point, isn't it?

[ppccopener]

Cant stand dernbach..if we want another bowler in his place woakes would be a better pick to bowl those overs and you get a far better fielder and you get a far far better batsman

[FvanN]

You boys are to hard on the bowlers, they are always going to get hit for runs both sides have just been hit for almost 200 its the nature of the game. The moment of the game for me was The missed stumping of Amla.

Unlucky boys..

Bring on the semi final
