Coaches and selectors have a lot to answer for. I think the bowling selection has been unwise in almost all matches and preparation clearly lacking. I understand the “peaking for the semis” idea in theory but they’ve badly screwed up in application.

Just showing bowlers pitch map since 40th. @Iftikhar Ifti you were right, it’s a complete shitshow.
400!!! Easy peasy 
Also…after this Jos should relinquish the captaincy. He’s good for T20 but not good enough for ODI’s.
England should have requested moeen to defer his retirement.

Peaking for the semis of the 2027 WC at this rate.
Probably a change in captaincy as well for a lot of sides.
Captaining 50 overs is not like captaining T20 sides

England are going to lose by 200+
Will England even cross 90 ?
300+
The magnitude of our ill-conceived approach to this tournament needs to be rubbed in our faces. Only then will we do things correctly. It’s what happened when we lost to Bangladesh and got dumped out in Australia

The ball always does more under lights in wankhade. Need to see out the new ball.
Not that England had a choice after their dire bowling performance though.
Just seen the chasing teams since 2022 win percentage.
England really fell of a cliff there.
Also see what happens when SA do not play Bavuma ?
And people wonder why I go off on him.
He’s a good fielder. That’s it
Rash and Dave should just take this a live batting practice. Forget about the match
Finish the match asap and begin the inquest.
Coetzee looks a real find though. Reminds me slightly of Steyn. Not as good yet though and probably not as quick either.
Steyn was 150-155. That’s rapid pace.
