    English captain Jos Buttler indicated that while the loss hurt he was not too concerned.

    "We were very much outplayed by New Zealand and it is a tough defeat to take," Buttler said.


    "But it is still one loss at the start of a long tournament and we won't get too down on ourselves."

    Stokes will miss the Bangla game. Apparently the outfield is a mess, too.

    I never had positive feelings about that fat fck from Sky being in charge.

    Still can't remember his name.

    Anyway, Mark Wood was right.

    One poor performance in an ODI doesn't mean it's all about Ben Stokes returning.

    If you're going to have a game then making it the first game isn't a bad idea.

    And we were definitely

    Onwards and...err...upwards.

    Australia didn't have the best of games against India.

    I'd like to think that England have brushed off the cobwebs and will come back with a couple of entertaining wins.

    England 307/5 off 42.

    Malan and Root finally got their batting shoes on.

    Added: Brook and Livingstone continue to disappoint.

    Bangla's set 365 to win.

    Ought to be out of reach.

    3, I'm staggered Topley wasn't in the first game. His height a problem for ant batter

    They seem content to let the Banglas scrape a few runs. They're well off the run rate.

    ^ England need to be careful. They've lost games before by going off the boil when they are cruising to a win

    ^ You know England have lost to Scotland, Ireland and Bangladesh before don't you.

    Won this one easily enough though.

    Pretty comprehensive, but there's still a couple of players than need to find their feet.

    England win by 137 runs.

    Didn't realise there were two games today.

    The bacon sarnies are 36/1 chasing 345 against Sri Lanka.

    Convicts vs the Jaapies in half an hour.

    That should be interesting.

    Indeed.

    Not sure I can bring myself to hope either team wins, though.

    That really took off.

    Variable bounce seems to be a feature in this competition so far.

    Australia managed to restrict SA to 311-7.

    They need 312 to win, that's doable.

    73 -6



    A brainless, spineless performance.

    What a year for Australian sport.

    Have they won at any sport another country plays this year?

    Absolute fuxin shambles.
