He should have gone bar the umpire having a shocker, we look shaky and the wicket is favouring the bowler at the moment.
We’re all over the shop here.
Sometimes you just have to put your hands up, the kiwis have bowled superbly. They would have troubled anybody.

Time to pack for the road trip tomorrow
These are scoring rates from the late 1990s and this is an innings perfectly pitched to that fragile, panicked era of England one-day batting. It’s like the cavalier swordsmen of the current team have been replaced by a cricketing historical re-enactment society.
Thats the BBC’s chief sports writer not me but I agree.

When it matters we fail.
How can New Zealand dominate rugby and now in a probability win the World Cup when they have 4.5 million citizens, we can call players from all over the World and we’re still shite, 2/3 of our main sports are in the Kiwi hands, and we got knocked out by Croatia in the World Cup and whats their population?
No excuses, we’re fucking wank at sport, at main sports we’re fucking shit, we have the money, we have the people but we’re still absolutely shit.
Heart and desire is something you can not buy and a national trait we have in abundance is glorious failure, a cover up.
When it matters we fail.
They’re now talking about character on sky and public schools on sky, good to see they’re catching on.
There is a degree of irony in the modern day England (who are a wonderful one day team) losing a World Cup Final on a wicket made for nurdlers from the 1990’s
We’re used to it.
So the English are failures that like a cover up?
Modern history is certainty on your side😁
Out the country at the moment, what’s the score?
We are doomed.
Yet there are only 4 runs less than NZ had at the same stage for the same # of wickets

We’re making a comback, partnership between Buttler and Stokes, need 100 from 14.3 overs.
I have been working outside not watching as I can’t, everytime I do we lose a wicket, so this better not fucking curse it.
True but we weren’t, I’m shitting myself, that Morgan dismissal did for me.
Stay outside and keep working.
Do your bit👍

Turned into a good game of cricket. Should be a tight finish. Wide open as to who the winners will be. Was never going to be easy being such hot favourites, the kiwis have exploited that pressure, kept it tight and bowled very well.
Its the wickets, we can’t play our game on these wickets, so we’re relying on instinct.
Picked a helluva day to give up glue sniffing
This is tense
FUCK.
Jos gone
Fucking hell.
