It's possible that South Africa bungle this still, but not looking likely.....
…..which just further emphasizes that England had absolutely no business losing to Sri Lanka. They've been a rank bad team in every other game they've played. It was just a straight-up bottle job chasing a small total against one of the worst teams in the tournament, and there's a good chance that it costs us a place in the semis.
It does make me angry that England have been so good for such an extended period of time in this form of the game, but now - the only time when it really counts in a four-year cycle - they're screwing it up. If they don't beat India on Sunday, and do crash out of the tournament, then it's time for a mass cull of the one day leadership...….heads must roll!
Public decapitation of Bayliss perhaps a good start point... should England crash out.... though a win against either India or NZ should see England scrape into the semi finals?
I agree that the Sri Lanka debacle could stop us getting to the Semis and it really isnt good enough.It does make me angry that England have been so good for such an extended period of time in this form of the game, but now - the only time when it really counts in a four-year cycle - they're screwing it up.
