I'm not particularly a cricket expert, but aren't we meant to be doing a bit better than this? I know it doesn't matter in terms of the tournament, but surely we should be beating teams like this?

They got 133, we're currently 42-5 in reply and not exactly looking impressive to my eye.

Put England in the minnows group next time so that they need to qualify - humiliation

Was anyone clever enough to back Holland here? Dispirited England, Holland have had a decent tournament, dead rubber.

I thought about it.

Quite. The King of Spain is a well justified shoo-in for the top job.

He shouldn't be within a million miles of an international leadership role. All the charisma of, appropriately, a wheelie bin....

Hopefully this means Giles doesn't get the job full time...HOWEVER knowing how incompetent the ECB are, he'll still probably get it.

That would be the only positive. Ashley Giles cannot be allowed to take England forwards not a chance.

I'm moving toward seeing Peter Moores being given another chance. It probably was the right time for him previously to reinvent the side, but I do think he could come in now as we need a mini revolution throughout the set up.
