The ECB way....
PS. England cricket is still in disarray, no matter what nonsense they try and spin.
If I was Ben Duckett I'd be seething. Not only was he sent home but he's left out of the Feb Windies Lions tour. Whereas Stokes is brought straight back in. Talk about making someone a scapegoat!
whole thing is a shambles.The ECB way....

Different format. Different approach, players, plans etcI dont know much about cricket, but how come now they can hammer australia but the other week got smashed? Whats changed?

Indeed. ECB seem to have more focus on the one day side than the test side where Cricket Australia just view it as a bit of fun and a money maker.Priorities. Which are wrong.
Don't need to take 20 wickets in ODI cricket.I dont know much about cricket, but how come now they can hammer australia but the other week got smashed? Whats changed?
Watched the whole thing, incredible knock by those 2! The end of that innings was mental, going at 10 an over for the last 10

I’m kinda glad it did end, I haven’t slept yet!
It’s definitely nice to be the ones dominating for once. Reminiscent of Morgan and Stokes putting them to the sword in the Champions Trophy last summer, that was a great day out.
Which leads to the question of how to get Stokes into a team doing this well??

I guess you’d replace Ali at the minute on wickets that don’t need 2 spinners.
I’m surprised the Aussies have played him with so much respect this series, he’s fragile get after him.
This wicket should suit the pace off unless it zips up underlights.
I do think in all forms England need to have a pool of at least 16 players they can call on and that they know can pay at this level.
Ie this ODI squad I’ll take Billings and Ball for example (personally I don’t think either are international standard) but if England deem them to be next in line with bat and ball they’ve got to get game time when is difficult but it’s the same with bowlers in test cricket Anderson and Broad are both in the twilights of their careers yet we have no idea who could replace them, I think Curran & Overton mayhave something about them , TRJ did really well in the summer but he’s 29/30. England need to take the hit to give the fringe players a go in all forms imo.
England win this and go 3-0 I’m sure bar injury they’ll stick with the same 11, id like to see the others in the squad given a game or 2.
Maybe they should all get off the plane twice when they arrive back at Heathrow.Fantastic win a 5-0 ODI whitewash would be nice, but would only cover the Ashes embarrassment.

They get off the plane to boos as the test team, then get back on the plane and get back off again, this time for cheers for the one day victories.
The waiting crowds could be equipped with both wavy flags and rotten tomatoes.
And now Stokes has pulled out of the side. Don't think this whole thing could have been handled any worse.
