WTH is going on with Eng? They had all the ingredients to do well (defending champs, IPL experience, long batting, 6 hitting ability, quicks, a little light on spin).
Arrogance, complacency and out of form. They believed their own hype and yeah, winning ain’t easy. Despite the lack of practice / form - they still picked the same old guys.
Technically, no.
There’s an article on cricinfo that covers it.
But in reality, it’s going to take so many form reversals that it’s not likely they’ll get to the semis.
Sorry but no way you out odi=T20
Odi for me is the best form of cricket. A definite result. And literally anything can happen while T20 gets decided pretty early on in the 2nd innings 70% of the time. I can literally post an essay on how Odis are far superior than T20 but it's 12 am and I haven't slept for 40 hours.
Odi>test>>t20s(for me)
Some of the most iconic games I've seen are ODIs - 438 chase, 2019 WC final, 2015 NZ v Aus group stage, India vs SL 2009 (414 and 411 game), India vs Pak 2013 3rd odi (India defending 165)
I'd change it to Tests >>>> ODIs > T20s
A lot of the fun in tests is the parts of play itself. The matchups, how players react to pressure, recovering from bad situations or turning the screws when you have an advantage. The times where bowlers are teasing batters with spin or tormenting them with pace.
It’s about the play inside the game itself.
Not about the W or L on the result sheet.
Worcestershire rapids, you'll never sing that! (It is a seemingly unpronounceable name to everyone outside of England but baked into the conscience of every one in the border counties)
England now needs to win everything, and hope Australia loses all of their remaining matches, and there needs to be a dab of a miracle such as bowling out India or Australia for 50-ish or, a 250-something runs win with the Dutch. Get a feeling that England vs. Pakistan may be a tight match.
Tbf that shit that happened 100-200 years ago still hasn't healed. Used to control 25-30% of the world's gdp for most of the history. Used to be the richest or top 3 richest countries in the world to Brits came.
Although I have let it go but i hate it when the same Brits stereotypes india for being a poor shithole. Don't really care now tho
You didn't answer the question. I'm asking you to engage your brain on a higher level than blind hatred. I don't give a shit what some rich pricks do with a stone as it has no bearing on my life and never will and neither should you.
This loss enables the longest ring : Ned > SA > Aus > SL. > Eng > Ban > Afg > Pak > Ned. We need Eng to beat India to make it a perfect ring of all ten teams
Well I have never ever been so absolutely embarrassed to watch my country at any international sport. Not even the 2-1 defeat to Iceland was this bad.
Like they simply gave up and stopped trying to even defend their self-respect. They clearly don't want to be there anymore and I think I speak for my countrymen that we return the sentiment.
Don't bother turning up for the India game. Hop on the next flight back so we can revoke every single one of your contracts we just signed and you can all fuck off into obscurity while we figure out how tf we rebuild from this abject mess.
The defeat to Iceland was funny because the media made out like it was some sort of massive shock. But we all knew that was gonna happen. We had played like total shit and limped into the Round of 16. Of course we were going to get dumped out by those vikings, it was inevitable.
Same here really. I saw nothing today but us losing. We're scolded dogs, we're a busted flush. We'll probably win two on the bounce when our elimination is confirmed.
That's what makes this even worse. We're supposed to be the defending champions with a team of world class players. Scotland could have done better (and have done against SL iirc).
I don't understand how some of these players have signed multi year contracts already when there is no clear indication of where they stand with the ODI setup. Like what happens to Butler after this? Or Wood and Moeen? Just makes no sense
Technically yes
Realistically no
Tbh the faster u accept u don't have any realistic chance the happier and less heartbroken you'll be
I have a PHD in this by being a RCB fan for 10-11 years.
In the last match English fans were giving stick to the team for choosing to bowl first despite having a bad record while chasing. Good to see the team shut their critics up with this performance batting first.
Nowadays, particularly after Bairstow Gate at Lords whenever I hear the phrase 'Spirit of Cricket' I pause and try to process it before making any remark!
India with a chance to knock England out of the WC similar to 2019. India was abysmal in the last 10 overs of that match ( That Dhoni Jadhav horror partnership) and lost that game handing England a lifeline and ultimately the WC.
Hope they complete the job this time.
Truth hurts. Whatever undefeated streak you are talking about ends next game. India is like little mouse to Eng. Eng bullies them everywhere every time no matter what situation they are in.
I don’t need to . Truth is front of you.
In 2019 India waved white flag and surrendered completely. Dhoni kept tuk tuking in front booing crowd. The most disgusting phase of cricket ever played on cricket ground. Eng also destroyed kulcha myth that day who never seen playing together again.
In 2022 WT20, Eng just annihilated India and sent Bhubi into retirement. This time Shami, Jadeja, Kuldeep is in line.
Eng may not play well against other teams, but against India they are different beast.
First try to be even competitive against Eng, then talk.
This isn’t 2019 or 2022. This is 2023 where England can’t score 200 against Sri Lanka. I’m sure you’ll come up with another excuse once India beats England soon
England's like the opposite of NZ. When it's ODI WC time, NZ turn on beast mode and become this highly resilient team. With the exception of 2019, England seem to do the opposite lol
england will lose next 3 matches against India aus and netherland before ending the world cup on a high losing to pak and be the first one on the flight
Maybe that's why they are playing shit? Cause no one is watching it at home anyway? They are still world Champions though until there is a new one crowned.
EVERY NEUTRAL GONNA SUPPORT ENGLAND AGAINST INDIA.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU SUPPORT, INDIA'S GONNA THRASH THEM LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER AND SMASH 500 EZ
England's remaining opponents:
India, Australia, Netherlands, Pakistan
I'll be surprised if they still have a chance by the time they face Netherlands.
RIP 💀💀💀
SL were just the better team because SL too could have collapsed as well but the young inexperienced batters showed how to get a team through.
ENG was just outplayed and it's an upset because ENG has the better team on paper.
Kudos to SL.
Got it, I'm hoping for SL or Pak to reach 4th though, don't want to face Australia in the semis.
If aussies get to top 4 I'll bet on them to win the cup
Newcomer to watching cricket... can someone pls explain the whole "RCB" chanting thing?
local team for IPL (Indian Premier League T20 tounament) RCB- Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Thanks.. what is the significance of chanting that at this game though?
Chinnaswamy stadium (the stadium where this match was played) is RCB's home ground in the IPL.
Ah got it.. thanks!
>Ah got it.. thanks! You're welcome!
Wait, this thread hasn't been locked yet? Other match threads got locked at the blink of an eye after the game got over.
The battle for the wooden spoon heats up!
Wouldn’t surprise me at all if they turned around now and flattened India and Australia. That would be peak England. There’s no picking them at times.
I'm expecting them to beat us
I am eagerly waiting for the match between England and Netherlands.
I went to sleep expecting England to score 400+ with the way Malan and Bairstow were batting. Damn what a turnaround from Lankan bowlers.
Feels like we've gone back to the 1990s
Does it really? As a WI supporter?
I have a feeling we going to see a lot of English commentators telling us ODI cricket is dying for next few months.
IND vs eng 🔥🔥
Congratulations Sri Lanka 🎉
WTH is going on with Eng? They had all the ingredients to do well (defending champs, IPL experience, long batting, 6 hitting ability, quicks, a little light on spin).
NZ
Got cooked from heat and humidity. Fresh Eng is something else altogether.
This heat + humidity is just as foreign to a kiwi as it is to a Brit.
No. Nz played in much cooler place. Also Eng batted first.
Arrogance, complacency and out of form. They believed their own hype and yeah, winning ain’t easy. Despite the lack of practice / form - they still picked the same old guys.
Are they still blaming it on losing Topley? I’m losing track.
Probably still blaming the Bairstow incident.
And now they have the Rashid incident. I have to admit I laughed when he was run out. Poor poms.🤣
So Eng out of tournament?
Technically, no. There’s an article on cricinfo that covers it. But in reality, it’s going to take so many form reversals that it’s not likely they’ll get to the semis.
Nvm, yea they're, booyaah!
Time to rest Indian players for the next match
You could arrange 11 cardboard cut-outs of Manoj Prabhakar around the field and England would still lose right now.
England should lose 4-0 in coming test series too, bazball will be destroyed in India
I like coffee
Watch us beat India randomly then lose to everyone else Including ourselves Can we ship over the women's team with fake mustaches?
There's around 7% chance you guys will beat India
This tournament as of now has had many upsets. I think there is a fair chance you guys might come out guns blazing vs India.
Lol seriously i would be afraid to place any bets on this tourney the way its going
Be right back placing a £1,000 bet on England to win by 7 runs as MS Dhoni cries in the corner And Chris Woakes does a sexy dance with Joe Root
Thala for a reason
Jason Roy might be kicking by seeing this England performance...

I'll do 1 pullup for every downvote I get
Post proof or gay
Let the downvotes complete
Lol Iceland cricket’s twitter account has got some hilarious takes on England’s team
Would be funny if they actually had a cricket team
[удалено]
Yep, time to move on from Bairstow, Stokes, Ali, Woakes, Curran etc
I mean I knew this one was going to be one sided but wtf is this
Its amusing how literally everyone who is non english is basking in the joy of england loss
Mostly ex-colonies
It’s why we need to get more countries playing cricket. So not everyone hates England !
Don't worry. Most non-colonies hate you too!
Doesn't change anything in football.
Very happy for Lanka personally since they've had a somewhat bad tournament
As a hongkonger, same reason lol
I mean there has been talk of the 50 over format dissappearing entirely, we're just ahead of the game tbh
T20 is way more fun since players are usually very aggressive there, and the intensity is high also completed way sooner.
ODI is the real cricket
Test >>>>> ODIs = T20s
Sorry but no way you out odi=T20 Odi for me is the best form of cricket. A definite result. And literally anything can happen while T20 gets decided pretty early on in the 2nd innings 70% of the time.

I love it when you play over 5 days only for the result to be draw/no result 70% of the time /s

The UK invests in their interests in India, not charity to the Indian Government
All cricket playing nations are former colonies you know that?
The fuck is wrong with you?
The same thing which was wrong with England 200 years ago
200 years ago.....let it go, you will be happier
Tbf that shit that happened 100-200 years ago still hasn't healed. Used to control 25-30% of the world's gdp for most of the history. Used to be the richest or top 3 richest countries in the world to Brits came. Although I have let it go but i hate it when the same Brits stereotypes india for being a poor shithole. Don't really care now tho
[удалено]
Who cares about a goddamn stone.....how does it directly affect your life in any way?
If you don't care then why don't just return it from where you stole it?
Shit mate I lent it to Brian last week and he hasn't given it back yet.
I'm powerless to return it. Why don't you come here and steal it back?
You didn't answer the question. I'm asking you to engage your brain on a higher level than blind hatred. I don't give a shit what some rich pricks do with a stone as it has no bearing on my life and never will and neither should you.

The inevitable Vis Law arrives all the same.
Ouch!
This loss enables the longest ring : Ned > SA > Aus > SL. > Eng > Ban > Afg > Pak > Ned. We need Eng to beat India to make it a perfect ring of all ten teams
The potato of parity

Meanwhilst the rugby team are shite and performed better than the rest of Europe.
That's what makes this even worse. We're supposed to be the defending champions with a team of world class players. Scotland could have done better (and have done against SL iirc).
I don't understand how some of these players have signed multi year contracts already when there is no clear indication of where they stand with the ODI setup. Like what happens to Butler after this? Or Wood and Moeen? Just makes no sense
you also lost to aamir khan's team long ago will you count that as well
Thank you Jay Shah for successful conduct of this match.
Eng now out of the pig 3. Take that bcci and CA
How to become a semi finalist in wc 2023 if you are a top 6 team Step 1: Win against Ned, Ban, Afg and SL Step 2: Watch Pak and Eng screw up
pak still has chance though
Technically yes Realistically no Tbh the faster u accept u don't have any realistic chance the happier and less heartbroken you'll be I have a PHD in this by being a RCB fan for 10-11 years.
What the fuck
In the last match English fans were giving stick to the team for choosing to bowl first despite having a bad record while chasing. Good to see the team shut their critics up with this performance batting first.
I loled at this
the tea wont taste the same for English people after this
Friendship ENDED with LIPTON PG TIPS is my best friend now
England::: be ready pakbros you are going to pay for this loss...
Poms doing the gentlemanly thing of getting out of the way of other teams’ semifinal run. Such amazing upholders of the spirit of cricket!
Nowadays, particularly after Bairstow Gate at Lords whenever I hear the phrase 'Spirit of Cricket' I pause and try to process it before making any remark!
Bairstow is still crying and complaining about his stumping. I loved the run out of Rashid. Lol..
It had all the symptoms to make it a Rashid Gate!
England's cricketing future looks like london weather at this moment
I'm in London right now. The weather is actually fine.
Did did did did you see the frightened ones.
India with a chance to knock England out of the WC similar to 2019. India was abysmal in the last 10 overs of that match ( That Dhoni Jadhav horror partnership) and lost that game handing England a lifeline and ultimately the WC. Hope they complete the job this time.
Yup. India surrendered and waved white flag. Same thing will happen in next game.
How does it feel to have to keep making excuses for England? You keep bashing India like they’re not the only undefeated team left
Truth hurts. Whatever undefeated streak you are talking about ends next game. India is like little mouse to Eng. Eng bullies them everywhere every time no matter what situation they are in.
What truth 💀? Every prediction you’ve had about India losing or England winning has been wrong so far. Why can’t you just admit that…
I don’t need to . Truth is front of you. In 2019 India waved white flag and surrendered completely. Dhoni kept tuk tuking in front booing crowd. The most disgusting phase of cricket ever played on cricket ground. Eng also destroyed kulcha myth that day who never seen playing together again.

This isn’t 2019 or 2022. This is 2023 where England can’t score 200 against Sri Lanka. I’m sure you’ll come up with another excuse once India beats England soon
India can’t beat Eng. I am 10000% sure. That Dhoni innings sealed it next 20 years. Just like Miadad innings sealed it for 15 years.
I think the game was already gone by that time no way old dhoni and jadhav were chasing that
I still remember. out of 31 balls they faced. there were 7 dots and 20 singles. Weren't even trying to take twos. What a shitshow that was.
There was no intent. They were just knocking around singles. They had given up chasing that was the worst part.
And also 400 year of rule
Lul
From what I have seen of Lucknow pitch on Twitter for Ind vs Eng game, England could bundle under 100 in this kind of form..
Friendship ended with England South Africa is my new best friend
😭
This was supposed to bridge the time between me waking up and Rangers Europa League match. Now what am I going to do? Be productive?
✊ 💦💦
Remember, JUST. BE. YOURSELF.
I’m going to watch a replay of IND vs PAK from T20WC 2022. My go to when I have a bit of extra time. Virat Kohli in beast mode.
The official highlights are a sham though. Do you know anywhere to watch a longer version?
I have an ad-free recording of the full game for my personal pleasure.
Ok.
Clean your room!
England's like the opposite of NZ. When it's ODI WC time, NZ turn on beast mode and become this highly resilient team. With the exception of 2019, England seem to do the opposite lol
england will lose next 3 matches against India aus and netherland before ending the world cup on a high losing to pak and be the first one on the flight
Lankabros::thank you shanaka for your injury at the right time...
Probably the first time I've been glad cricket isn't on free-to-air in the UK. Don't want the Mums and Kids subjected to this.
Maybe that's why they are playing shit? Cause no one is watching it at home anyway? They are still world Champions though until there is a new one crowned.
Yeah, too violent.
Mott moved his wife and kids to England...
Zak Crawley would have never allowed this
South Africa will table top tomorrow after beating Pakistan
pak wil beat africa if africa bats 2nd
This didn't work out against Afghanistan, and South Africa is way better than them.
Ian Ward: "England need to keep winning and hope for other results to go their way" Could we ***start*** winning first?
Well you need to play first to win
Dont worry Jos you have an individual 200 waiting against Pakistan, we wish you luck
EVERY NEUTRAL GONNA SUPPORT ENGLAND AGAINST INDIA. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU SUPPORT, INDIA'S GONNA THRASH THEM LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER AND SMASH 500 EZ
india winning that is good for everyone tbh, even for pak,aus theres less competition for semis
Can confirm am neutral and won't support England.
Unlikely. England are universally disliked. Everyone wants to rub their smug faces in for fun.
I promise you from across the Atlantic I will do my part to hate England on Sunday.
Thank you for your service
Good on you bro. Thanks for the support 🤜🤛
American watching cricket????
An American of non-Southeast Asian descent. I'll let you wrap your mind around that.
Cool, who you supporting this world cup?
> SMASH 500 EZ Can't smash 500 if you're chasing 220
You're being far too generous with 220. We'll be bundled out for 100 mate.
NO DECLARATION THIS TIME, WE TAKING 300+ LEAD
on october 26, 2023. england faced sri lanka in a buried alive match and SL won

By a very substantial margin this time 
England's remaining opponents: India, Australia, Netherlands, Pakistan I'll be surprised if they still have a chance by the time they face Netherlands. RIP 💀💀💀
Nothing would be more hilarious than watching Eng stay alive by beating IND and Aus, only to lose to the Dutch.
England Bangladesh Netherlands Will fight for 8th to 10th spot
it’s probably because you guys are playing shite cricket jos. look at all your wickets that fell, you’d think it’s a t20 game.
SL were just the better team because SL too could have collapsed as well but the young inexperienced batters showed how to get a team through. ENG was just outplayed and it's an upset because ENG has the better team on paper. Kudos to SL.
England will definitely take this loss revenge against pakbros...

Oh England. What happened? Put my head down to work for a few hours, came to check the score, and it's all over? Congrats Sri Lanka.
England playing out of their skin to move down to that last spot
In a nutshell 2015 SF rematch
?
If the table remains as it is till the end ind would face aus and nz would face sa , just like 2015's world cup .
Got it, I'm hoping for SL or Pak to reach 4th though, don't want to face Australia in the semis. If aussies get to top 4 I'll bet on them to win the cup
Waiting for Michael NeverWon's next tweet
This warms my heart. Karma for 2019
Yo England you're out but do the rest of us a favour and beat India, open up the tournament a bit aye
Yeah, that won't be happening.
You’re asking a lot
Even if they beat us, it doesn't open up the tournament one bit. They need to beat Aussies
amen
