@mo_town makes the point very well, this is not India or Pakistan where the fans are far more demanding, I see the point about our press and agree some of the comments 'appear' to be they are not behind the team...
But really that's part and parcel of a big tournament and its nothing new. I think it's very fair to expect England to get to the last four..we are not going to get there and there will be a lot of upset fans but the team have got to perform on the pitch. We have only beaten the weaker teams in this tournament.
The ICC overseas the pitches and everyone knew that way before the tournament so it's no good him saying they are not 'typical English wickets'.
What he wants are flatter than flat decks so the bowlers can't move it around at all-therefore putting our own bowlers at a disadvantage.
New Zealand, Pakistan and Australia have come here on some tricky pitches and got results.
We cannot adapt our batting that's the problem..read that as not good enough to if you want.
