Might make him feel a bit better after his bowling performance

We shouldn't have been bowling - we won the toss & decided to run around for 4+ hours in an oven..

Stupid decision to bowl & our bowlers were dropping like flies with cramp &: dehydration..

Conditions needed to be taken into account, we're not the batting team we were in England & English conditions..

100 agree. I did post that further up the thread. It was idiotic.

Although some of the bowling was very very poor
 
Before the game Butler said the nature of the performance is more important than the result. FFS we are in a tournament, I want to win it.
 
We have got to bat first and then bowl as otherwise we get hot and knackered then have to go out and score hundreds of runs
 
He’s more likely to get called back up to the test team than be sacked from his odi captaincy such is the hype around the bloke. The amount of times he was bigged up by the sky team for him to come in the bat and do nothing 9 times out of 10 was a joke. He was vice captain of the test team when he should have been no where near it.

Always thought he wasn't anywhere near as good as Sky / the media make him out to be

Bin him - Jonny B behind the stumps and Stokes captain ....... and you can bin the overhyped Curran as well
 
He has had some exceptional performances but I never once thought he'd make a good captain. Mentality is the biggest difference for me versus Morgan's side. We have the players capable of playing much better than we did today, just couldn't do it (for whatever reason, likely mental).
 
Buttler is an amazing talent on his day. Unfortunately, certain players benefit from the “jobs for the boys” mentality that exists in English cricket.

I’ve never rated him as a captain. His test career last way longer than it should have done because he was part of the inner circle.

Selection has been all over the place. Toss / In game decisions have been all over the place. The whole tournament has been an embarrassing failure.

It was always going to be tough replacing Morgan’s captaincy but Rob Key needs to get rid of Mott and relieve Jos of his duties. It’s not been acceptable
