Sounds like Morgan is hinting at a divisive and unsettled dressing room. Of course these rumours only ever get mentioned when we lose.

He could be putting forward his case to be the next coach or have some inside angle with players in the team.

Makes it much easier to find something to blame as fans of course but a lot of us think we have just not performed anywhere near our potential on the field

When teams lose badly even in recreational cricket ppl get unhappy and start saying stuff even if they got on and had no issues before

All natural stuff

I'm not sure they have prepared well enough for the World Cup - also players may have some fatigue. Its been a hectic 12 months for the majority that has included the t20 WC, IPL, 5 Ashes Tests in the space of 8 weeks, August for Hundred then they tried some 50 over games but rain ruined some of that schedule.

They are not a bad side but just haven't got going. Yesterdays bowling and fielding performance was up there with some of the best this World Cup. This was a grafters wicket and they should of seen how Rohit, KL & Sky approached their innings.

I think this whole lets put pressure back on the bowlers sometimes takes away the lets play the situation (pitch, bowlers, run rate required etc) .

It was an interesting post match discussion between Nasser and Morgan...Nasser being the traditionalist was pushing the point about soaking up pressure and play the waiting game but Morgan was of the opinion that players should do what comes naturally to them otherwise doing something that doesnt come naturally to someone can lead to their downfall.

I am with Morgan on that point. You know what your strengths are and play to your strengths. Dont try something that doesnt come naturally to you. Having said that there was a couple of poor judgement calls from Root and Stokes. Just dont think Ben Stokes is really into it at all. England should have invested a little in young an exciting rather than completely sticking to tried and tested. None of the senior players seem to have a fire in them to do well.

Stokes' participation is going to look very daft if his delayed surgery keeps him out of tests. I know he's an absolute talisman but he's visibly suffering through this injury.

How much do we think England will change before Saturday? As they surely can't continue the same... Livingstone to open in the Roy role with Bairstow and then Malan/Root/Brook/Buttler/Moeen?

Don't hate that at all. Bit more impetus up top, move Root to try and get him back into nick, take the pressure off Malan to score quickly early doors a bit.

So Glenn Maxwell �fell out off a golf buggy� and is concussed. He will not play again England.
I swear they find more and more non cricket ways to injury themselves�smh.

Elsewhere water is wet, South Africa piled the runs on against New Zealand. Someone could pip New Zealand for a top 4 spot�

Sri Lanka decide to bowl first in the roasting heat�get pummelled.

Shami, not good enough to get into the home team�s starting XI a couple of weeks ago.
Subsequently he�s gone:
5/54
4/22
5/18

Not bad lol

Sri Lanka's decision to bowl first just doesnt make sense. I am not sure what they were looking to achieve. Mind you, the result would probably have been the same but surely based on other matches so far the sensible thing would have been to bat first.

Trying to think if iv ever seen root and YJB so out of form? Butler yea is test cricket but those 3 combined have been awful this WC

Jlscarroll17 · « **Reply #118 on:** November 04, 2023, 03:52:26 PM »

Struggling to see what Livingston offers to this side, surely selecting Harry brook ahead of him would be a better option

Thor Odin�s Son · « **Reply #119 on:** November 04, 2023, 03:54:37 PM »

Bairstow 34 years old
Malan 36 years old
Root 33 years old
Stokes 32 years old
Buttler 33 years old
Moeen 36 years old
Rashid 35 years old
Woakes 34 years old

Pretty much a given none of these be the next 50 over World Cup
