We've spent the whole tournament batting like a pile of ****e, so there's no complaints. The wonder is we got this close.
Yes England batted badly at the end, but they still outplayed West Indies.

England have been totally cheated out of this game by a completely farcical DL total. That total implies 82-0 after 11 overs is par.

COMPLETE JOKE.

Mind you I would NOT be saying this if England were chasing
82 off 10 overs and the chasing side should be asked to nominate 6 players. The loss of 5 wickets should be considered as an all out.

We was robbed.

Oh well, pleased with how we've played since the Netherlands. And I don't buy all the stuff about our batting being rubbish, not the best but we've put down decent scores.

Bring on the Aussies.

Can someone shut up this troll please? Has been spouting the same **** again and again. Well for starters, England oughta known that DL is indeed applicable for the competition. If they can't agree with it, should not have competed in the first place.

England's team selection lost us this tournament.

England with 2 Frenchmen in the team: 2 losses
England with 1 Frenchman in the team: 2 wins and 1 loss

The trend shows that if we'd have gone into every game frog free, we wouldn't have lost a game.
