How dare people have an opinion. 9 times out of 10, you don't win from there.
Those posts were made before Buttler got out. Many teams have crawled out if worse positions than that so to honestly believe that the best team in the world had lost it that early on stinks of "armchair experts"
Morgan’s was the most annoying. I’ve lost count of how many times he’s just needlessly holed out to a fielder. He gives his wicket away.
England try to dominate opposition by playing attacking cricket. Against Australia in another low target chase the plan worked perfectly and everybody sing their praises. When Morgan was in New Zealand were gaining control so he sought to wrestle that control back by attacking one of their "5th choice" bowlers.
The execution wasn't as he intended it but it's the same thought process that has ultimately led to England's success so he shouldn't change anything.
