The pound-for-pound champions and their appalling arrogance has been found out yet again
Keep walking, Jonny. How utterly perfect.

highlights:
That's because non England supporters on here are obsessed with us.
If we don't qualify for the CT, you lot will be more upset than us England supporters as most of you post far more about England than you do your own country.
You're obsessed with us I tell you, obsessed.

FFs we've had a bad tournament, but were holders of 2 World Cups, seems an odd time to talk about systematic failures and how it's all gone wrong since KP.
Just a great team, that has come to it's end, and with plenty of youngsters to make a clean break, probably better we can make a clean break, rather than if we'd had a middling tournament.

Another factor was only getting 2.5 matches out of our two best fast bowlers (Topley and Archer). Apart from Nortje, the 4 who have qualified have basically had full bowling squads to choose from (note Pakistan have also missed Naseem).
But the issue was more with the batting anyway, for some reason, most of them just seemed bang out of form.
At it's heart, it's been the form of Bairstow, Buttler and Root that has really hurt us.
Malan and Stokes have done OK, and the bowling hasn't performed much worse than we would have expected. Our white ball success in recently has been built predominantly around our batting.
But 3 of our big guns have completely misfired. Players like Livingston and Mo have been in too early and haven't been able to rescue us but the real damage had already been done.
I think we need to look at the captaincy with Buttler. I'm not unhappy with him as skipper but has keeping and captaining impacted his batting?
If it has, then maybe he needs to give it up as he's been a million miles away from his best and that can't continue.

Guys I've been very well behaved this tournament, can you please do the absolute bare minimum for me and not let Pakistan beat you by 300?

Their biggest loss by runs is currently 242. I have faith England can keep it to at most 250.

Yeah, like Archer was ever any chance of getting on the park in the first place.
He's done. Finished. Kaput.

Eh, maybe but it’s not unheard of for bowlers to go through lengthy periods of injury and come through it. I reckon he will play for England again but only with a white ball.

Just as likely he'll go swanning the world on some franchise T20 contract.

Well he’s just signed a 2 year contract with England

Yeah I see your point, can't see it happening in this particular case though.
Have heard people compare him to Cummins in that respect, but it really isn't the same at all. Pat wasn't even 24 yet when he made his return to Test cricket in India, Archer was already that age before he made his international dayboo.
You may be right about him being able to play at least some occasional white ball cricket for England. But that really is the best you can hope for imo

Oh yeah the Cummins thing doesn’t work, he debuted so
young.
I would be happy enough just having Joffra for the T20 WCs
