They also had only 1 english players in the darts world cup semifinals. 10 years ago no one outside of england played darts on a professional level except for some dutch guys. Now they only have 1 guy in the semifinals.

Haha came here to find this thread.

Interesting stat... England have won a total of 5 WC matches against the top 8 teams since 1992 (the last time they made the final).

Their side is trash at the moment. Aside from Bell they don't have anyone in their batting line up who looks like a consistent threat and their bowlers have been all over the place this tournament. The sad thing is that their elimination will probably come up in future discussions about ensuring the top teams don't get knocked out in the group stage (for revenue reasons) which will lead to it being harder for small nations to qualify.

I like Cricket Japan's tweet though:

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

Interesting.

I try to find videos of that own goal and its all blocked due to copyright. I think the the English FA had something to do with this.

All of them.
