It's funny, that's the only thing they did wrong for the whole game. Bowled tremendously, especially at the start and end of the innings. Then these two...The fact that Sri Lanka dropped Morgan three times and still won by 10 wickets is just ridiculous.
Who has called us a formidable team?Really England? So much hype about them being a formidable team... And they blow it. Really sorry for all the supporters, no effort being put in.
Bell has done absolutely nothing of note to merit the free ride he's getting in the ODI side.Trott, Morgan, Swann, Bresnan, Bell for sure... Broad too of course, KP (maybe, who knows?). I think I'd stay with Bopara, since Collingwood seems to be gone, and we need the overs.
That's eight players to stay then, add in a keeper (Davies preferably), and it's just a case of how to deal with the extra five or so that complete the squad. I'd like to see a concerted effort to find an all-rounder, the bits and pieces bowling is not helpful at all, and another batsman who plays at a higher strike rate more naturally.
Agreed were on top for 80/90 overs today. Happy with the way they came back after those comical 10 overs.It's funny, that's the only thing they did wrong for the whole game. Bowled tremendously, especially at the start and end of the innings. Then these two...
Hmm, drastic changes perhaps but the personnel just get reshuffled.The ODI side is having drastic changes made to it constantly, and it's never much good. Bad players are the much bigger problem for England than bad selectors. Dropping Davies for Prior was a disgrace, it beggars belief that they're actually paid a salary to make decisions like that, but at the same time, Davies is hardly Gilchrist. It wouldn't have made much difference.
