But man for man the Poms are better than us according to Root

Is Brendon McCullum their ODI coach aswell? You wouldn’t think so considering I’ve heard absolute crickets about their precious bazball…..

Cry me a river, England. Volume two.

@GerardWhateley has a message for the appallingly arrogant Poms after Saturday's defeat.

ps. England now all alone on the bottom of the WC table with just 2 points.

Shakib: "One of my teammate tell me this is the rule. So I go to umpire and tell him. Umpire asked me you are serious or not. I said, I am serious and it's right. Then umpire go to Angelo Mathews and given him out"

Don't love it myself. Australia could have done it in the past but hasn't.

Honestly though get your act together you have lots of time to check your gear before you get out there.

If there was no time out rule no English tail-ender would ever face a ball!

Starc is by far the dumbest bowler in world cricket and possibly the dumbest bowler I've ever seen....

Possibly the greatest hour of sport I’ve ever witnessed
Maxwell you freak

[mightytiges]

Totally Damo. Unbelievable cricket .

We were gone at 91/7 and looking at an embarrassing flogging due to our own arrogance and not respecting the opposition. Then up steps Maxwell with a record unbeaten double century. Once he survived a reversed lbw on review plus that dolly dropped catch early on, he clearly thought his luck was in and he just went for it. He was suffering from full body cramp and couldn't move his legs yet he was still hitting fours and sixes  . Yep, he's a freak! Credit to Cummins too for his disciplined roll just holding up the other end. He only scored 12 runs out of the 202 run partnership lol. Everything about that win was ridiculous. Once in a lifetime stuff!
