Cricket World Cup

[Yarmbaggie]

For me it was mainly down to a bad day in the field. Bowling was not as accurate as usual and fielding was not up to scratch which is so unlike this England team. Yes we didn’t get the runs to win but after posting a very good score, due to our poor performance in the field, we gave them something to defend which they did.
As with all top sport, the game is decided by fine margins and for once we made mistakes in the field which proved costly. Still a very good England side which has the ability, along with several other sides, to win this World Cup but we won’t if we perform in the field like we did today.

Why do people look forward to cricket and expect England to do well? Who was it who beat us last year Holland or Scotland? We are only rated so high because not many countries in the world play the game.
The trouble with the English in sports is they don't have the raw aggression and drive that nations like America, Australia and Germany have.
Anyone can be a good loser, to winners losing is not an option.
