Cricket world reacts to England's elimination
The reaction to England's humbling World Cup exit at the first hurdle was as instant as it was vitriolic and humourous.
Former player Kevin Pietersen was among the first to take to social media to express his reaction to England's elimination.
I CANNOT BELIVE THIS! I JUST CANNOT! But, well done Bangladesh! You deserved it! #ENGvBAN

DO NOT SAY WE HAVENT PRIORITISED ODI CRICKET! We played a back to back Ashes to make sure England played 6 months of ODI's before this WC! 😡

Another former England skipper was also active on twitter; Michael Vaughan's timeline capturing the rollercoaster of emotions for supporters of Eoin Morgan's men as they slipped from a seemingly comfortable position to also-rans.
Confident now......

Don't worry.... I am sure some positives will have come out of this WC for @ECB_cricket #MyArse
— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) March 9, 2015
Didn't expect @ECB_cricket to win the WC... But expected them to reach the quarters at worst and compete in games against the top teams..

Former players, journalists and fans joined in, with reaction running the full gamut of emotions depending which side of the fence you sat.
Even Lord's cricket ground joined in, while the inevitable calls for change in selection and management rang loud and clear.
Oh dear, where do @ECB_cricket go from here? And don't say on a plane home! #CWC15 pic.twitter.com/Po9UBoMGcB

4 years to prepare and we looked like we have been playing cricket from 2007.. Games moved on and we haven't. Sad to see.

Well done Bangladesh ! England pathetic ! When are we going to pick the selectors to pick a team for the 1 day format ? Time for change !!

Peter Moores really did just say "we've got to have a look at the data"...

Oh well it gives England more time to prepare for the first of the 17 tests they are playing this year..,

Good thing England is a 'Full Member'... Wonder how they will cope with the pressure of WCQ games 🙊

I wonder who doesn't care about playing in the World Cup now @si610

England have imprisoned themselves in a cell so dark, so distant that no fresh light can reach it. The world has changed and they don't know
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) March 9, 2015
Eng had the wrong team, the wrong style of play & everyone could see it, tonight's result not a shock. I feel for Morgan, coach in trouble !
— Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) March 9, 2015
Even some of the associate nations stuck the boot in to England.
When can we play @ECB_cricket?
— Malaysia Cricket (@MalaysiaCricket) March 9, 2015
Dear @ECB_cricket, this might not be a great time, but as there's room in your schedule, fancy a game in Japan on the way home? #challenge
— Japan Cricket Assoc. (@CricketJapan) March 9, 2015
@MalaysiaCricket @ECB_cricket If you find them competitive, send them across the straits, our U15 needs practice before Tuanku Jaafar Trophy

But not all the reaction was about England's exit. Many remembered to pay credit to the outstanding efforts from Bangladesh.
Well done Bangladesh!! #Chandikaisking
