In 50 overs format, we’ve never really replaced Liam plunkett in doing the hard yards in the middle overs when bowling

[@zerogravity9740]

Stokes in for Curran and Moeen Ali for Woakes. 2 spinners are a must. Root can chip in a couple of overs depending upon the situation. Topley and Wood got to play. And with Moeen and Stokes in, Mr.Buttler can bat at ease to bring out his best.

Stokes in for Brook. Curran bowls. Stokes can't bowl

[@karthikeyannataraj3786]

England are done. The bowling is way too ordinary in these conditions that they depend on their batters getting a ton of runs… The problem with that is, these wickets are not going to be flat roads, so their batting can’t do what they usually do… players like Linvingstone also lack the game to negotiate spinners in these conditions.

[@damonsalvatore9427]

Winning in India won't be easy as winning by boundaries count or winning the toss and pitch getting flatter batting second and winning World Cup. 😂

[@sekharraja9679]

no,no Aus may look weak because they lost the 2 games but the too losses are against may be the 2 best teams in the tournament, they will win most of the other matches and the one game pak lost against is the home team. Eng is the team that lost the easiest game they had to win and have all the best teams ahead of them.

[@Aman-nk5uq]

Truth but they can. Just like 2019 after string of losses. Demolished India, NZ and Australia before final

[@sekharraja9679]

@@Aman-nk5uq in 2019, eng had a better team and a significantly better bowling attack. And you should remember even Eng's golden team of 2017-19 never had success in india. All the other big teams like aus, sa, nz came to india and won Odi's against india, but eng always got rocked in the last 7 years.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

@sekharraja9679 they got beat in a very close series 2-1 even Kohli said they played very well People like you think cricket is only played in India

[@abhistiwari]

Whether they accept it or not but the issue is one they have had for years in all formats. They just cannot play spin and then their own attack is just not suited for conditions here. Secondly, they will also realise soon that they were a bit lucky in last World Cup that they won and are not as good as they believe they are away from home in spinning conditions. Winning a home world cup is good but both India and Australia did it before them in 2011 and 2019.

[@Monty-xs7hp]

They definitely weren't lucky they beat all the best sides including India. Winning 4 straight games. India, NZ, Australia and NZ

[@Monty-xs7hp]

If they can't play spin then why did most of this side win so many bilateral series home and away running up to the 2019 WC

[@purplespark8]

They should bring in Salt. Livingstone plays well once in 7 matches. He's not a tournament player yet

[@hardikparbhakar7845]

this might sound weird but i feel robinson would be a good bowler for them the guy can reverse the bowl and the pitches will slow down from now on which means they need that kind of proponent to fill the gaps in bowling also i feel malan should bat in the middle not top and brook should open that would fix half the problems they are having

[@Visht146]

the problem is england has never made pitches that are spin friendly for slightest...last few games in england has been belter...thats what happen when you are so obsessed with bazball than cricket

[@jonny4866]

Haven’t really been following too closely… can England still qualify for these semis now or not?

[@knike442]

Yes they can. They've lost 2 out of 3, they still have 6 games to go.

[@ramkrishnanramaswamy6680]

The only reason England can is because Australia are in equally dire straits, though strictly speaking not as bad… England yet to face 4 potential semi finalists whereas Australia face 3 other.Winner of Australia vs England could very likely seal the qualification

[@jonny4866]

@@ramkrishnanramaswamy6680 Alright cheers. Never peak too soon in a tournament! (@ NZ / SA) … sadly I can’t see anyone beating India. That being said I think Afghanistan are a very handy outfit. I agreed with Butch, thought the toss was a poor decision from Buttler. Plenty of games to go - just didn’t know if that was England screwed now but doesn’t sound like it? 👍

[@UmpireStrikesBack]

Can England claim a "Moral victory". Perhaps you are "Saving cricket". Or does this have something to do with "Spirit of cricket".

[@srivathsannadathur9452]

Biggest upset was India defeating previous 2 time champions West Indies on 9 June 1983 in Manchester. They went to win the title which was another massive upset. This English team is no match for that west indies team

[@manojkapoor9710]

Group stage exit for both England & Australia. Very weak spin attack in terms of both bowling & batting.

[@ajgill8360]

Woakes and Curran shouldn’t be in playing 11 in Indian conditions bring in Superman stokes even if 70 percent fit and Guss Atkinson should be playing and if he can reverse swing the old ball can be very lethal!

[@rzh3369]

Get Woakes and Curran out of the firing line, bring in Willey and Atkinson, STOKSSEY get in somehow, not for Brook. England are rattled and needed to check ASAP, no more slip ups.

[@diabeticorisemove5392]

actually battered in position 69 in this match

[@rajmahraj2003]

Current time is 4pm @ los Angeles now. Few points. English coach of Afghanistan Jonathan had predicted this is coming one day before this match. About the great bat by opener Gubaru getting run out and then getting mad as hell, he should have refused that run asked by his skipper the very first ball he faced. Is it because of afghan conservative society not educating girls, just obey your skipper whatever he says even when he's utterly wrong in this run out situation asking for an impossible run

The batting looks frail - no one is in form. The bowling looks poor. Wasn't expecting too much from this team, but I feel they're going to land in the bottom 3

[@SriGutta]

It is so disrespectful to Afghanistan to term this an upset. Zimbabwe beating Australia. In 1983, Kenya beating West Indies in 1996 were upsets. This was not an upset. Afghanistan is equal to most teams.. They may not be able to do it consistently for now..but they match up well against any team. It is incredibly demeaning to even have this as part of a debate on the biggest upset. It's 8th ranked team beating a 5th ranked team. If West Indies beating England is not the biggest upset, how can this be?

Englands decision to bowl first was very much flawed..england could have batted first , they could secure 250 against afgani fiery batsmen..but chasing decision against strong bowling..becomes tough when you have to chase above 250.. so i think england should have targeted afganistans weak link which is batting .

[@Monty-xs7hp]

@venpeddapalli7189 are you thick? Mott coaches the odi side, not Baz, you plonker. England weren't aggressive enough and didn't look to put pressure on the opposition. Most good odi sides look to dominate the opposition, not tentatively chase down 280 plus. Look at India, for example, when they chased down a similar score against the Afghans

[@Monty-xs7hp]

You do realise Bazball refers to England's (test) coach. Now go back and watch the game and see how many aggressive strokes England played when getting out? As you clearly didn't watch the game properly, the first time round.
