Intro:

England coach Peter Moores talks after their demoralising World Cup loss to co-hosts New Zealand.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Moores, England coach:

(on, if it was the worst defeat he has ever been involved with).

"It's certainly up there, it was a hugely disappointing day and backed up from the game in Melbourne. If it's the worst I don't know, what I do know is, I feel now the same way as I did then and I feel sorry for the people who came to watch because it wasn't a good enough performance. I think everybody associated with it has to take that and bear that pain because people had to go and watch it. And we have to come back with something. People will judge us in what we come back with but we have got to take it on the chin."

SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Moores, England coach:

(on, the performance of Tim Southee but it's not new for England to face a swinging ball).

"No, no and he bowled beautifully and there's no excuses on that. I don't think, you can't do. It doesn't mean he didn't bowl well, he did and the swinging ball is a challenge but if there's any country that plays the swinging ball more than anyone else, it's us."

SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Moores, England coach (on, building the morale in the team)

"I think that's what we need to do as a group of players. We need to get behind each other, we need to get tight. No one else is going to come in, it's their job and our job to front up and produce something. And then we move forward, we have four games left in this group that we have got to win and try to get ourselves through to that quarter-final."
