Twitter reactions to England’s embarrassingly early exit from the 2015 World Cup
ESPNcricinfo staff09-Mar-2015Shock, snark and schadenfreude. These were the overwhelming themes flooding Twitter after England were knocked out of the World Cup, after going down to Bangladesh for the second time in as many editions of the tournament. The match in itself had several talking points: Mahmudullah’s century, Mushfiqur Rahim’s spunk in the latter half, Rubel Hossain’s end-game, and the controversial run-out of Chris Jordan.
DO NOT SAY WE HAVENT PRIORITISED ODI CRICKET! We played a back to back Ashes to make sure England played 6 months of ODI's before this WC!

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 !

Peter Moores: "We thought 275 was chaseable. We'll have to look at the data." Genuine quote! #CWC15

Right, I have to go & pack my bags. Bit of an English thing to do today. Still: 2 more points than Scotland. Gibraltar didn't even qualify

I'm currently #1 in the UK, India, Australia, NZ and SA, and am available to either captain or manage the England cricket team – or both.
