I'm sure Richard will still be pressing for the inclusion of Usman Afzaal and Mark Ealham.

Good one Jamie, did not fancy watching the last fourteen overs and seeing you block.

So let me get this right - the one's who are playing shots and getting out are in the wrong, and also the one's who are trying to stay in.

They cannot win at all then?

Quality outfit.

I'm all for staying in but Dalrymple was shutting up shop after the horse was well and truly bolted.

Take that.. all over for England!!!

If by they you mean England then yes, you're right. Seriously though, how dire are they at OD cricket now?

 

[Pratters]

Yes, all England needs now is a run out.

Done.

Never thought I'd hear myself say this, but Paul 'The Magpie' Collingwood is the best batsman England have, only one who can work hard.

Maybe so but it's a shame his so limited as a batsman.

Fitting way for it to end, really. Well bowled & fielded India and very well captained Mr Dravid. Top stuff.

This may be the old duffer in me, but I really love watching Powar bowl. Such a beautiful orthodox offie's action. Gets turn &, judging by Dalrymple's dismissal, has a quality top-spinner too.

&, It may be stating the obvious, but how shocking were we?

You can have all the shots in the world, but unless you can knuckle down and leave the right balls you'll never be successful.

For sure.

How can England be so good at one form of the game but so terribly bad at the other? Poor show England. Hopefully this dents their confidence for when we meet up with them.
