Dear @ECB_cricket, this might not be a great time, but as there's room in your schedule, fancy a game in Japan on the way home? #challenge

Well done Bangladesh !
England pathetic !
When are we going to pick the selectors to pick a team for the 1 day format ?
Time for change !!

Eng had the wrong team, the wrong style of play & everyone could see it, tonight's result not a shock. I feel for Morgan, coach in trouble !

Those England cricket writers & gullible fans who relished the sacking of our best player are just as culpable for today's ignominy. #kp
