Tredwell needs to come in if Finn and Broad are still injured. I think if England kept it to 300/320 it would have been competitive. Now, we will just panic, slog and get 200 all out

Lets see what Bell can do today.. Maybe its his day to get an 100..I doubt England will get close but you can at least try. Shame when the spinner comes on. England will play him from the crease.. And get tied down..

We need a Cook innings, & everyone to bat around him, Bell will get to 20 as usual then give his wicket away.

good game

England

Getting destroyed by a lowly New Zealand side.

No shame in losing to New Zealand altJ. It's not just a coincidence we've made it to the semis in the last 3 out of 4 world cups

..and the final of the last Champions Trophy

Agree with Jono.

NZ may be ranked #8 currently, but they tend to perform better in tournaments.

Right call on Bell. He threw his wicket away right after reaching 20s.

Cook was our only chance

An anchor is "a mechanical device that prevents a vessel from moving". A sheet anchor is a large anchor used in emergency. Trott will make sure we will not move from this nice and stable position.

How shît must you be
even trotty got 6

Cane someone tell Trott that this is an ODI and that you're chasing 360.

To be fair they smashed South Africa in their ODI series

wtf was Morgan doing there need him to get a big score but again is he a one day player .....i think 20\20 only

They go on about KP and the IPL. Eoin Morgan only seems to care about making money himself.. Done nothing for along time to warrant being paid at all.

This is dreadful. We'll to do well not to finish bottom of out group in the champions trophy

there is too many players either well off form Bell ....or players that look advrage and is not good enough for county cricket never mind playing for England is KP back for the champion trophy? because god do we miss him

When Broad and Finn come back we will be fine. I would be very surprised if we didn't make at least the semi finals of the champions trophy

still have major question a
on ashley giles as manager

Anybody ready to blame today's loss on Trott? Come out and say so.

Just have to

Dernbach can't bat or bowl
Bell only hits good scores when we have a tiny target to chase on a flat track.
Trott still our best ODI batter (despite what the haters might think)
Anderson our second best batter
Morgan gets in... and out

Bring in Prior, Bairstow, Finn and Broad for Buttler, Bell, Dernbach and Bresnan/Woakes and we might be decent.

But we never really have been good at ODIs. Hit and miss with t20s. No surprise Flower jumped the one day ship, at least we've got a good test team.

Prior, Bairstow, Onions, Bopara have to come in, the so-called all rounders are garbage!

So, I see Bopara has a fan.

I'd think Bopara is an all-rounder as well. In any case he is better suited to ODI than the longest or the shortest form of cricket at international level.
Disclaimer: I am not alluding he should be brought back.
