Our bowling has killed us tonight. Maxwell and Zampa have conceded 10 runs less in 3 overs than Jacks did in one.
Edit. Then Moeen hits 12 in 2 balls. [Post edited 8 Jun 2024 21:05]

England are awful. Buffet bowling and people like Bairstow who was once a good player fumbling about with the bat. Mostly an old team with too many players past their best.
Australia have been excellent. Could well win the tournament. |  | | |

They've learnt from our mistakes. Pace off the ball, not bowling floaty off-breaks against left handers so they can hit towards the short boundary.
Ho-hum. It was always more of a free-hit against the Aussies in a group round robin situation with two teams going through. It's that wash out vs the Scots that may be costly. | |

Well I wouldn’t worry, the next T20 World Cup will be in about 6 months or something anyway |  | | |

Australia played really well. Batted strongly and backed up by their bowlers and field. Long tournament and still confident of getting through. That was a very polished performance by the tournaments 2nd favorites. They ain't playing like that every game and we will grow into it. | |

More questions will be asked about the hapless Mott as white ball coach. At the time, I did think appointing someone whose prime experience was coaching the Australian women's team was a huge risk. Buttler's role as white ball captain will also come under scrutiny. England bowled poorly in the abandoned game against Scotland & dreadful powerplay bowling yesterday put England in a tough position. Salt & Buttler made a good start, but as soon as they got out, the new batsmen proved near incapable of scoring at more than a run a ball. |  |

You mean the Aussie women's team that's been the most successful in the world for many years? That Aussie women's team? |  |

Yes. Rather like the optimists on here who wanted Emma Hayes as a possible successor to McKenna, you have to realise that, although they play by the same rules, elite men's & women's sports are at totally different levels. | |

Weren't our last tournament successes under Mott? If so, he's clearly done a good job but probably outstayed his welcome. He should have gone after the 50 over debacle. |  |

Since Mott took over, England have played 7 ODI series, winning 2 (including 1 over Bangladesh) drawn 1 & lost 4.
While England did win the 20/20 World Cup in November 2022 (only 6 months after Mott was appointed) under his regime, England have played 8 20/20 series, winning 3, losing 4 & drawing 1. Given Mott inherited the #1 ranked white ball team, these a pretty damning results. The common, depressing thread in the 50 over & current 20 over World Cup has been the complete lack of tactical flexibility.
Buttler's role as captain has also to be questioned. | |
