			Didn’t think England could play any worse, sadly I was wrong.  
An absolute shambles of a team.

			Bottom of the WC table now... 
Sack the captain and coach. Terminate all one day international contracts and start again next season. See who actually want to play and give their all for their country. (Stokes seems to have mostly had his shades on and feet up for the last month.. ).

 Unbelievably they've just given lot  of this mob new multi year contracts (scared they'll bugger off to T20 frachises). 
 Let them go and start again with younger players. 
 TV money has ruined cricket.

			Highlight of the World Cup today , an SL getting 'timed out'. : D   
About time they took some action over subs,  drinks,  gloves, lipstick, bookmakers instructions, going back and fore each over,  the games boring enough as it is !

			Not much consolation given England’s woeful performances but it’s still enjoyable to see the Aussies in a mess against Afghanistan.
