Similarly, England are going to regret losing to New Zealand, Afghanistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Pakistan and possibly the Dutch.

Randomly comes back into the side, looks 10 kilos overweight, but still gets two wickets and runs out Root. #JustMathewsThings against England. Would probably have made a match winning ton if it was needed.

Their bowling's got real issues but yeah the batting lineup should be doing so much better.

Not in India, but on harder/faster surfaces.

Looks like England wanted to get a feel of the infamous Bengaluru traffic and played bad enough to be on the roads in the evening.

Losing Chameera and Hasaranga before the tournament really hurt us ..If those two play with the way our batting has been firing, I think we add minimum 1 more win to our tally so far .
Also I don't think it's a coincidence that results improve with Shanaka out the team either..
We took a bit of gamble putting faith in Maheesha Pathirana and Dunith Wellalage in the beginning, it didn't pay off but the Madushanka selection most certainly did, overall the sentiment back home is not one of expectations that this team makes top 4 , but we did want to see signs of progress for the future and we have definitely seen that.
I think this is a very talented young group , who will be better for this experience. Maybe the next World Cup we can do something.

SL is a very good young side . One very good pacer and one good spinner and they will be back to Top 4 side .

Samarawickrama has had an outstanding tournament, he is so aesthetically pleasing to watch when in full flow, he's batted like prime Mahela Jayawardene at times in this WC.

Sad that Sri Lanka would pick on such minnows like England. Really need to work on their sporting sense for such an occasion.

Considering England's form this world cup this doesn't really feel like an upset, not does it seem like a classy thing to revel in one sides continued humiliation by posting a meme at their expense...

Surely there are cricketing reasons that explain their failures more than "lack of confidence". In any case, confidence hasn't been an issue with English side for about 5 years.
