What's left to find out? Take the minnows out and he has a E/R of 10 in 20/20s. England did him for 50+ 6 years ago.

That was a bit cheap. England were looking for quick runs. First innings he went all over the place.

Cut throat decisions seem to be scrutinised too much in our cricket these days.
Been saying the same with Stephen and he is rightly frustrated but there is an obvious ceiling to some players who stick around too long.
Only positives tonight outside the obvious guys like QdK, Faf, KG, Lungi was Klaasen's cameo and Linde.
Beuran got a 5-for last test but the truth he is he was caned. You can see him being picked there too.
Great stuff from Bairstow. He is a nailed on pick every time for England for me in this format (and ODIs). Hendricks shocking over the obvious turning point 0-56 dreadful figures (although T Curran went for 1-55 so they sort of cancelled each other out). I would have sent in S Curran ahead of Morgan. England got the job done in the end though.

I think the problem with Hendricks is that he's a left-armer, and they've fallen into the trap of selecting him because he offers "variety". While desiring a varied attack is understandable, it's got to be a varied attack that performs, and one with Hendricks isn't going to.

I think that is a part of it.
But also if we looking back to the last ODI played Sipamla/Dupavillon were the go to guys and we back to Beuran/Dala with Stuurman being the unknown. That next cab off the rank is up in the air?

lament the red ball player sure, but my word celebrate the white ball version of bairstow. one of the absolute best in the world. an absolute beast of a performer over the past few years.

It was great for England that he had no problems doing the same thing at #4 too, given the logjam of openers.

Whatever it takes!!!
Has never been in any doubt really. Him and Zak Crawley are the future for England.

Considering the IPL thread is still hanging around like a fart in a lift (it doesn't deserve to be pinned full stop), you can see the standard of action (not) at work.

Jinx successfully applied.
Rashid does him like a kipper and Jos whips off the bails.

Linde definitely has something about him. Think SA have found a gem

SeamUp was quite rightfully calling for his inclusion in the WC squad 18 months ago.
