I genuinely rate our 'a' team as better than the actual team atm, both in 4 day and one day cricket.

 

[superkingdave]

would be an interesting stat if anyone knows how many times a team has scoreed 200+ in the last 20 overs of an ODI?

Bookies seem to be in the furball camp though, England have moved into 1/2 favourites

 

[Furball]

Last 50 runs at better than a run a ball #numpties #itsnottestcricket

 

[uvelocity]

yeah everyone is over reacting about the run rates. englands just doing a team version of dohni

 

[Spark]

starc's been fairly awful today thus far

 

[Spark]

ffs stop bowling wides and pies or we will be chasing 330

How did Mitch Marsh even get picked? did he do anything at FC or List A level?

There's certainly nothing wrong with his List A record.

 

[wpdavid]

fwiw 8-an-over for the remainder of the innings gets us to 299.

 

[Howe_zat]

7 off that over with basically no risk at all

It's almost as though having well set batsmen at the crease is valuable

 

[kingpin]

last 55 balls 59 runs!!

 

[Days of Grace]

Should have dropped that, Wade.

Then why hasn't he been in the side more often before? Hell, Dan Christian got a go for a while. I find it very strange that for the CT (which we should be taking seriously) he has suddenly been drafted in.

 

[uvelocity]

work (y)

 

[kingpin]

hahahahaha LOL good for England now

We want sixes.

 

[King Pietersen]

No-ones said we want sixes. We want intent, and they'd just started to show that. Until the last 5 overs, they'd been batting too slowly.

Played Jonathan. Get in, scratch around, score at way under a run a ball, and get out. Probably boosted his 'ranking' though, and that's all that matters.

 

[kingkallis]

Now England can think about scoring some quick runs!

 

[Days of Grace]

LOL at England not changing the batting order. England management knows best. The masses know nothing.

 

[wpdavid]

No disrespect to the boy Root, but surely Morgan should have been promoted in this situation.
