England's dismal showing at the World Cup has been met with shock back home and marks the end of a brilliant era, according to former captain Nasser Hussain.
A crushing defeat by Sri Lanka on Thursday left the defending champions ninth out of 10 in the standings and with almost no chance of reaching the semi-finals.
"We are talking about some of the greatest players in our white-ball history but this has just turned out to be a bridge too far for some of them," Hussain told Sky Sports. Questions are being asked about England's preparation for the tournament and whether the lack of 50-over cricket played by the team's key players undermined their chances of retaining their title.
