3 dropped catches, a missed easy run out and a catch that 2 players left. Going well.
So bad it's laughable.

[yt]Tw7EJ_mTmdM[/yt]After listening to England's and Sri Lanka's national anthems before the cricket today I've decided that ours is incredibly boring and needs to be changed.
Any suggestions?
You've got to take into account that the Jayawardene catch that was an absolute dead cert caught off his first ball changed the game. It was a terrible terrible decision, and England's fragile confidence collapsed. Yes England should have recovered, but like a refereeing decision in a football match can change a game, this absolutely transformed this match from England having them 4-2 at the start of the second over, to 144-1 now.
Steve Davis the Aussie 3rd umpire is either on the take, or not fit to judge cricket incidents on a screen. He is the same idiot that made so many errors in the Ashes over here. I've just seen it again, and it is ridiculous a man looking at a screen of 5 different angles can't see that as caught. It's an absolute shocker.
Been unlucky in this tournament, the D/L method in T20 is not fit for purpose and we were royally stitched up at the weekend, and now we're out of it playing Sri Lanka because of an Aussie.
To be fair Jayawardene shouldn't have been out there in the first place because the first wicket was definitely not out.
have you only heard our anthem today for the first time then?
God save the queen is recognised worldwide, and is the de facto English national anthem so what if England doesnt have an 'official' one. what is boring is this debate, no respect for tradition, the best argument in favour of changing is the tediously unimaginative t 'its a dirge'. god what a boring parroted line that is.
Oh I see Jerusalem has cropped up below. its all going to form.
its a dirge - check
I like Jerusalem - check
I am a republican - check
The others play different ones at the rugby I want one too - check
i have absolutely no respect for tradition and am full of post devolution insecurity - check
I'm going to guess this run chase will consist of:
Early Wicket(s)
Getting behind in the run rate early on
Desperately trying to hit Mendis after falling behind and failing miserably.
All out for about 130.
Anything else?
