When we lost 5-0, I saw so many people on here burying their head in the sands claiming that result was only due to the fact we were missing some of our best players. These people are clearly people who like to find excuses and try to mask over problems by lying to themselves. Me, [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] and some other realists pointed out the truth.
The performance in the England series and today in the warm-up game (yes, it was just a warm up and IDC but still a loss to Afghanistan) with a more or less full-strength team really should show our fans where we are as a team, and that the bitter truth is we are simply a mediocre team. I remember the brilliant [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] wrote a very detailed post explaining reason by reason why we couldn't use the "weakened team" as an excuse for our diabolical performance vs Australia, but these same fans who never learn still were too busy deluding themselves.
So, PPers, my question to propose is this -bear in mind, our best performers in that series weren't deemed good enough for the World Cup squad
Do you all really believe that a full strength team would have fared any better against Australia back in March?
Shout out to [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], he is becoming one of my favourite posters.
