Very talented team, but very very dumb.

Funny seeing this choke from 2-0 up, but this is genuinely worse than imaginable.

"Fearless cricket". Can result in 400+ scores, or 180/6. It's like the opposite of our post-2011 World Cup style..

You make it sound like England are too dumb to be able to adapt to different conditions and match situations?

Maybe you're right.

There's no 'maybe' about it. Let's hope Morgan spares us the 'that's how we play' bs in the post-match ceremony.

lol I am agreeing with you, but this idea that Eng can either be overly defensive "250 is enough" team to an overly aggressive "400 or bust team" with nothing in between is giving these players an excuse they don't deserve.

Quite. It would be nice if our middle order were good enough to keep out someone like Rabada, but as they aren't the lower-order guys really should have enough wits about them to see out the 50 overs. Unless they're under instructions from the captain, in which case he should be invited to stand down.
