Could have easily found those extra runs with one big over in the middle overs.

attacked all of the wrong balls at the wrong time with the wrong shots - same old story

For such a long batting line up they played far too negatively in the middle overs.

I can't say how anybody can say that was utterly poor from England. It was the fielding that was poor, little else. If they had caught Perera, INSTEAD OF DROPPING AN ABSOLUTE DOLLY, they wouldn't have been chasing 184. The batting was fairly good, I thought and not many teams chase down 184, which they shouldn't have been chasing. CATCHES WIN MATCHES, end of story

That last Malinga over. Woakes in with 3 balls left, isn't it correct just to give him absolute license (yes, obviously much easier said that done but he can strike a good ball) rather than look for a single to get Bopara on strike to try for one attempt at a big shot before looking for another single to get him back on strike again.
The 1 Dot 1 to leave a miracle required was searingly inevitable. And with a different mindset Woakes may have connected with his first ball which was more hittable than almost any other Malinga ball today. |

You always get the feeling with England no matter what total they are chasing they end up giving themselves too much to do with too much negative batting in the middle of the innings. Its easy to hit out near the end when you have nothing to lose.

That negative batting in the middle means they have to chase a total with 2 overs less when. With such a long batting line up would it not be better to have someone move up the order earlier whose job is to score at 2 a ball or get out trying.

Thats why England are rated lower than most, because they either go slow, at the start, or slow in the middle, or slow at the end. Were not very good, as I said England are more interested in the proper cricket.

here's the problem...Carberry 7 / Bell 13 / Root 5 / Morgan 5 - 30 runs from 4 of our ' big shots ' and by the way these runs were off 62 balls. That's 7 overs to get 30 runs for 4 wickets !

Why we are playing Ian Bell, at his age, baffles me and Joe Root, shouldn't be in the side either. Why don't they play Matt Prior, he doesn't keep for Sussex, so can field and bat, as he will score alot quicker than most, whilst Buttler is the obvious choice for scoring quick runs and wicketkeeping.
