For God's sake front up and admit you played rubbish. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/9413236.stm
Whilst I don't expect Graeme Swann to pick out individual players for criticism and there is the whiff of the bunker mentality that the dressing room are sticking together after England's humiliation he can not claim that England did not bowl that badly and that commentators are being unfair. Yes, Kevin O'Brien's innings was stunning but our attack does not look particularly strong and we have conceded 959 runs in three matches, two of which were against associate nations, with Jimmy Anderson in particular looking a shadow of the bowler he was in the Ashes conceding 212 runs off 28 overs so far at just over 7.5 an over. Add the shambolic fielding into the mix and we do not look much of a World Cup winning side. Congratulations still to Ireland and if nothing else England's last two matches have been hugely entertaining.
