    Have just watched another England collapse.Again excuses,why?
    Can I ask,what is the new coach telling this England team,I wonder.
    England had this semi final in their control.
    A continuing set of excuses,quite rediculous and irrsponsible batting,by the middle order,no need to panic,given the perfect start by the openers.
    Having played,all be it ,club cricket all my life,even at my level we would have been taken to task,with slap dash batting down the order.one has witnessed today.
    Just listening to the new coach,again offering excuses,sorry stupid irresponsible batting.
    Admit it England lost for that reason alone.Come on acknowledge this and England can progress.Charlotte Edwards must be so dissapointed.
