[Stefan9]

Well played Afghanistan.

 

[andruid]

Great hundred and player

Uncomparable?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Afghanistan.

Buttler needs to resign. Useless captain.

 

[Johan]

well played Afganistan

Gutted for Root, but he's probably used to this by now.

Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

England are through to next round................... of golf later this week.

Losing is temporary but playing golf is permanent.

 

[kevinw]

Embarrassing, what a dreadful performance besides Root.

 

[SteveNZ]

Brilliant. Shall I piss on again about why ODIs still have beauty in them?

 

[slowfinger]

I want the British press to hammer them into oblivion

I want to see Buttler cry his eyes out

Hard luck for England. Great knock by Root. Well done Afghan tigers. After the bs around the politicians they receive for no fault of their own, its wonderful to see them win.

I guess in hindsight I was just a day early in my call for the game of the tournament.

 

[brandon]

Maybe the morons at the ECB shouldn’t have downgraded their domestic one day competition…

 

[SkyBlue]

Baz and Buttler to be sacked surely?

8-1 losing streak in white ball, now humiliated in CT

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

I’ll be honest I didn’t think we’d even get this close

 

[Johan]

Baz and Buttler to be sacked surely?

8-1 losing streak in white ball, now humiliated in CT

They won't be, they'll just win the test series against India in june and then pretend that's all that matters, Baz will divert all the narrative and focus toward the Ashes.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Trott > Baz

Nobody will care. Premier League games in about 2 hours will be far more important to the press.

 

[Calm_profit]

England: Who cares about losing? We gave two back to back great matches.Another moral victory!

 

[Northerner]

They will and they deserve everything that is coming to them, Butler is not a captain,

 

[PlayerComparisons]

The truth is Mccullum is a very average coach

England need a coach that brings the best out of these talented players

 

[SkyBlue]

If I'm not mistaken, the last century that Root scored was in a losing cause as well?

 

[Aidan11]

What an embarrassment.

Don't even bother with the SA game, just come home now.
