Flat track bullies - any wicket with a little something England seem incapable of playing on it

Never a 113 all out wicket. Time for knight and co to moan about the pitch

Quite. What do we reckon was par? I reckon somewhere between 230 and 250.

Woakes goes for 16 off his first over wood bowling a decent length though.

Toys out the pram for Morgan and co. Far too many teams get away with bowling more than the allocated balls above the shoulder. Umpires don�t seem brave enough to call the no ball for that

Clear no ball that for me. The Gayle show continues.

Think they said 216 was par from the previous games

Disagree. I think that is a shocking decision. No way is that a no ball, that's a joke of a decision! They again have everything stacked in favour of the batsman.

Was clearly over the shoulder in his normal batting stances I.e before he went down the wicket and stood up

Our Achilles heel is when we can't just hit thru the line and need to think a bit different.

This is why I said previously I'm not buying our favourites tag for the WC. I think in England the team with the best bowling attack will go far.its thrilling when we rack up 400 but our bowling goes round the park a lot for a number 1 team.

A bit off the wall but anyone else think Mo goes for too many in relation to the wickets get gets?
Could someone like Archer come in and we just play Rashid?

Not a no ball for me, straight legged that's nowhere near shoulder height. Won't make a difference to the result anyway!

Moeen has the fourth worst bowling average all time(minimum 50 wickets) so he's no more than a passenger

This ladies and gentlemen is why we won't win the WC..... isn't this exactly what happened in the Champions Trophy..... as soon as we come up against something a bit tricky we fold with a complete inability to adapt to conditions!

Eoin Morgan after the game....

"We struggled throughout the whole innings with the bat to deal with and adapt to conditions. Extra bounce is not something we come up against very often. We struggled massively. We were way off the ball and West Indies forced us into a lot of errors today. It was pretty much a one-horse race.

"It is quite difficult to curb what has been a natural reaction for a couple of weeks. We need to get better when we come up against different conditions. It is never easy for any side but we need to adapt and find a way to score runs and manage our innings.

"I think you have to rock up in a good enough head space to adapt to any conditions. I would like to think we could learn from our mistakes takes today and look forward rather than back"

ODI's are much more fun when it's a road and the bowlers are on the ropes

Umm, isn�t that what 2020 is for ?? Flat track hitting for the beer heads

Are you for real?

It's clear as day, how can you still get it wrong

And due to injuries and unavailability that wasn't there strongest team.
