England need to get their mojo back . Vince Bairstow has been replaced by his brother Roy Bairstow against the Orangemen of Netherlands .. Oops mean India.

Looks like Bairstow has been stung by the criticism. Good.

When the wicket is flat he always looks better. Still, good to see Kohli looking frustrated...

Well we beat India but there's no way we will the competition. Bowling not good enough and batting is reliant on Bairstow/Roy getting off to a flier.

I wouldn’t say “no way” but I think it’s going to be either Australia or India.

I agree, three must win games. But I still think India's approach to the run chase was odd. Did we really bowl so well that they could only get 20 oddd from the first 10 overs, and why was Dohni going so slow

India's approach was only odd if not viewed from the perspective of sticking it to Pakistan.  ;)

It has been suggested that India 'gave up the run chase' and did not want to lose wickets to affect their run rate.

The tournament commenced in May and the group games are still going on in July. Totally ridiculous. No other World Cup is so protracted nor could you lose three games and still win the thing.

They should have had 2 games a day more often ie starting 10.30 & 1pm, or 2 groups of, say, 6 teams still playing 10 games but 1 match per day per group with an occasional rest day in between. I suspect most of us have not watched any games in full, certainly not when Essex play, dip in & out of games like I do, the last hour tends to be the best.

Well done to the Kiwis, that will shut up the cocky,arrogant Indian team & their fans for a while. Kohli's face was a picture when he was given out, may have been a close call but the ball would have hit the stumps anyway.
