It’s not about the results guys. England are here to provide entertainment like they do in tests. They have won the moral World Cup like they won the moral ashes. They are saving the sport IMO

Were we the moral victors?

Woods form been surprising I thought he’d be way more effective this tournament. He still has plenty of pace but batters don’t fear it in odis like they do in tests

At least he admitted he's a ****ing idiot I guess.
Jos Buttler, England captain: "Incredibly disappointing. Come in with hopes of playing well but we were short of that and were well beaten. Changes weren't as big an issue. Throughout the first innings, lots of things didn't go to plan. Topley got injured, we were unsure whether he'd come back or not and get a few overs in, that kind of stuff. It was a tough 50 overs. Thought if we'd restricted them in 340-350 on this pitch, it'd have been a good chase but they got away. Bowling first is potentially a mistake. You always look back on the decisions you make. Incredibly tough conditions with heat, etc, you saw that with the boys in the field. Potentially should've batted due to the heat. Conditions were extremely tough. The humidity, cramps and all other challenges were tough. We needed to get off to a good start with bat chasing a score like that. Ball did a bit, batters got down the leg side. When that kind of thing starts happening, you start thinking the writing is on the wall. The loss leaves with no room for error. We have to probably win every game here on in."

Topley v Etzabeth would be a good scrap tbh. Both world class locks and 6'8. One more injury prone than the other tho

They probably might. Bazball is probably the best strategy against this Indian team. Hit Indian bowlers in the first 10 overs for runs and the entire attack crumbles.

Actually it might work against India. Wood slaughtering Bumrah and Siraj in the pp and scoring a 22 ball 40 before he gets out and the Indian bowling attack crumbled under pressure.
The key word is might. Most probably he gonna get out for a 6 ball duck.
