He's not wrong, it was extremely chaseable, and they will have to look at the data (and then sack the lot of them).

Downton has "full faith" Moores and says he will stay as coach.

Because they're in a rebuilding phase you see, they could never have been expected to perform after the complete upheaval of the past 12 months. They were all traumatised.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I don't think he's got that sort of power. It wouldn't make much difference anyway, England have always been poo poo at one day cricket, this isn't a particularly surprising turn of events.

Moores is poo poo but no one can magically make them good players. I heard Nasser Hussain the other day going on about how great Duncan Fletcher is when they were talking about how India have been playing well; well Fletcher was in charge of England for loving years and they were still poo poo then. Fletcher was the one who gave Michael Vaughan most of his caps, and have a look at his one day record next time he's criticising the current side.

County pitches are the problem if you ask me. It's telling that the only England player who'd have a sniff of getting in another one day side grew up playing on the flattest pitch this side of Karachi at Taunton.

Cricket is a sport in which England competes solo and not as Great Britain so it's not really relevant but I was just wondering if the Irish cricket team comprised of people from Northern Ireland. Then I fell into a rabbit hole about sports that have them compete separately vs those that compete as All-Ireland and often allow players from the North to compete for either Ireland or Great Britain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Ireland

Then I guess you've got teams like the West Indies and the British and Irish Lions in rugby that disregard political associations so it's not exactly new.

It encompasses Ulster as well, there's a reason they don't use the Republic flag. The Irish rugby union team is the same, although in association football Northern Ireland is a distinct team.

Also remember the England team includes Wales. And also Ireland and South Africa, apparently.

Combined sides could be a good way to prevent skills drain to bigger countries. I think if the Pacific Islanders rugby team was more than just a biennial exhibition it could have been a good way to stop the Wallabies and All-Blacks getting the best Fijian and Samoan players.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Islanders_rugby_union_team

But I guess if you don't have anything else to bind you it can be hard to keep up interest when the team isn't performing (see: Indies, West).

I'm fairly sure the English team has more Pacific-born Pacific Islanders than the All Blacks do.
