England’s new lineup kinda sucks
So the first chapter in the new England side had a distinctly bitter ending. Was it really a new chapter in England’s history? I was hoping so. Flintoff was back. Andersen was back. It was the first cricket after the fateful Pakistan series. The ICC Champions Trophy is the final prelude to the Ashes. And England started their campaign by losing to India. And not just losing, they got absolutely stuffed. Bowled out for 125, the Indians knocked the runs off with 4 wickets to spare. A few positives will have been taken, but on the whole it was a frankly rubbish performance. The net results is the remaining games in the group, which includes Australia, are now “must-win”. Fabulous.

If you were an England player now would you want to be there? I know they are saying that they are here to win and I’m sure they are giving 100%, but it must be a tough psychological battle to raise your game to the required level when the Ashes and World Cup are round the corner
