Summary After suffering a humiliating defeat from Sri Lanka in World Cup, English media flayed its team.
In the last quarterfinal of the World Cup Sri Lanka defeated England by 10 wickets that turned the barrels of English media at the team. The criticism went to the extent that an English newspaper called the players, donkeys.A paper wrote that win or loss was the part of the game but the way England lost the match was suggesting that players had no desire for victory and they were plying for losing. According to another paper, a long tour of Australia before the World Cup had sapped the players as the side played seven one days and two T20s unnecessarily on the tour after winning the Ashes.A paper wrote that after the 1992 World Cup, English team’s performance was lamentable in World Cups and the captain should resign as previous captains did.
