Bangladesh knock England out of World Cup. Twitter goes berserk.
Well, England are out of the World Cup. Their loss to Bangladesh has put an end to a truly embarrassing campaign, which has finally exposed the plain fact that England genuinely suck at limited-overs cricket.
But losing to Bangladesh certainly wasn’t the worst part of England’s day. The loss drew countless funny reactions on Twitter, and not just from angry Englishmen or delirious Bangladeshis. Cricket enthusiasts from around the globe, including those from Malaysia and Japan (Seriously!), took this opportunity to poke fun at England’s miserable show.
We bring you the best of the lot.
1. It would be unfair if we didn’t start off with a KP tweet.
2. England will soon be flying high.
