A lack of spirit,bring in Botham to put some fire into their bellies until our players start to believe in their abilities we will remain second rate.

It has been described as a disaster and an absolutely pathetic England perormance. Come on lads....IT WAS FAR WORSE THAN THAT ! Time & time agan they just rolled over an died, they were a disgrace to the country. It's time messrs Botham, Agnew, Hussain & Gower got in on the act and played a part on the selection comittee or similar.

There is victory and defeat in sport. England has reached world cup finals before and i'm sure one day they will win it. Look at Sri Lanka who were no where world class cricket and suddenly world champions in 1996. Our team needs our support and we will support it through thick and thin.
