If you think that the attitude in the England dressing room is that they ‘can’t win’ I’d suggest you haven’t been paying attention for the last 3 years. I’m not saying they can, or will, but I bet someone in there is pointing out that if they score 6 an over they’ll get there, and maybe they’ll get close enough to scare the pants off India. But they’re not going to bat for a draw. I think they’ve been fairly unequivocal on that front, and as a fan, I’m fine with that. I’ve had more entertainment watching this side than all the other years of my England cricket watching put together. Whatever they choose to do tomorrow is probably fine by me.
It means that I have enjoyed this England teams approach to cricket, and I know that moaning about what they did or didn’t do in a game is less productive than simply enjoying the skills, efforts and experience of the game as a whole. Basically if they blow it then they earned that right and i’m not going to complain as I might have done to previous iterations.

"probably fine by me". What does that mean?

Nope.
