Not a good result which now puts real pressure on England

If we lose a fourth game, we simply don’t deserve to win a World Cup.

Four consecutive wins has to be the target: it’s doable!

Can’t see it myself. This England team are nowhere near good enough. You can’t lose three games in a tournament and expect to become world champions. It isn’t right.

I honestly don’t see how they are going to beat India or NZ. The batting has gone. No confidence. You expect almost every ball to be a wicket.

I'm not confident myself. Massive pressure on us now and so far under any kind of pressure we've completely crumbled.

Really throws that 4th SF spot wide open,Pakistan play Afghanistan and Bangladesh,so either way England will have to win at least one out of India and New Zealand,and in all likelihood both,tough ask on their present form.

I know. That’s why I tried to word it carefully saying you can’t expect to be World champions with three defeats and that it isn’t right. It isn’t right, if you lose to 30% of the opposition you don’t deserve to win.
