Firstly that looks like good batting conditions out there to me, and secondly this is the 2nd time in 2 games they've lost far too many late wickets towards the back-end.

*Official* Match#7- England vs Bangladesh

We look a proper batter short in the middle order but that's because of having no Stokes and I can't say I have much confidence in Livingstone or Ali, when either plays to be honest.

Issue against NZ was losing too many early wickets, 90-3 when Brook got himself out. The decision to put Moeen in at 5 was daft and screwed up the order.

Considering batting is Banga's weakness in this WC, I'll be massively surprised if they even push England close & get within 70 runs.

66 from the final 10 with 7 wickets in hand is poor whichever way you dress it up.
Going to need to keep them at 5 an over all innings to get the NRR back to evens.
FWIW Livingstone is ****, an ugly slogger who believes his own hype.

Yeah. Could have done with 400 though to recover the NRR. At least it's the Afghans next.

Just need to win the game. Key matches will be Pakistan and SA, win those and qualification should be fine.
To be fair to LL, he did get a decent delivery first up.

terrible post by your usually good standards, apologise immediately

Yeah, be nice to get the NRR back to respectability but it's only going to be relevant if we lose more than a couple of matches, or have rain offs.

Now there's someone I rate. England really missed a trick not playing him against NZ. I'm sure NZ's batting line-up was just fine with that decision.

They should just try get through the new ball at 3 an over with 9 wickets in hand. Let's not kid ourselves, we're going to get nowhere near this total. The fans don't think we are, the opposition don't think we are and most importantly, our players don't think we are. The best outcome here is a damage control exercise for NRR. Just play yourself in lads, get through the new ball, milk the singles during the middle overs and let's see if we can get to 280.
No seriously, don't try to win this. DO NOT. TRY. TO WIN THIS.

Should have been 420-430. The lower order is a bit of a worry IMO going forward. Ben Stokes (Even if he played a few games) is badly missed

Yeah and i'm going to win model of the year

I'm blind was half on a team call when he got out. Not sure why I singled him out
But as a general rule he's so much better than being a legside slogger.
