Boycott on England: 'In straight Yorkshire: rubbish'

Test Match Special's Geoffrey Boycott and Jonathan Agnew reflect on England's 111-run defeat to Australia in their opening Cricket World Cup match.

In front of a home crowd in Melbourne Australia reached 342-9, with Aaron Finch - who was dropped on nought - hitting 135.

In reply England were bowled out for 231, marking the second heaviest World Cup defeat suffered by the side.

Former England batsman Boycott said England failed to capitalise when Australia were 70-3, but instead Finch "played sensible cricket" allowing both Australia and him to attack at the death.
