If that is the case then they should be made to field with only ten

Agree Mark Cosgrove at Leicestershire is known for it!

Well if England are to get close to winning this it’ll make for a good nights tv!

Ridiculous they held Rashid back til 30 odd overs to bowl in fear that Gayle would st after him when he was battering everyone else!

I thought they had tried to cut it out after Pratt

26 sixes tell the story about the bowling.
plus 2 of your main quicks only bowling 13 of their 20 overs

chiefdave · Feb 20, 2019

Isn't this supposed to be the year we win the World Cup? Better clamp down on the sixes.

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 20, 2019

some knock by Roy but the Windies catching (like England’s) has been appalling!

chiefdave · Feb 20, 2019

Excellent run chase so far. Cue the England collapse now I've said that.

tisza · Feb 21, 2019

Good run chase on a pitch that held up. Still don’t like these 350+ pitches that offer nothing for the bowler.
That said batting bailing out the bowlers again. Hopefully World Cup pitches will offer some help or else the likes of Wood and Plunkett are a waste of a pick.
Still a lack of consistency from those 2. Still the mindset is if Plunkett can get 3 for 70 it's a good job done.
Key to this side is how much they learn from yesterday as tomorrow's game on similar wicket.

Once Archer is available Plunkett will do welll to be carrying the drinks.

I think Roy is a banker to start in the Ashes if he keeps his ODI form up. It's either him or returning to Cook / Bell!

Ideally needs to play some red ball this summer before the World Cup.

Oh Billings is back in....Zzzz

Buttler and Stokes rested I’d have rested Root as well.

No Woakes I find odd as he’s our most controlled white ball bowler!

I wonder if they are nursing Woakes through to the World Cup

Just looking he bowled competively 19 overs in SL tour, Windies tour will be max 50 if he bowls out in each ODI.

Worrying 69 overs and they’re managing him, I do think players are often undercooked!

We don’t know how bad his knee is but I agree they are all undercooked

either undercooked or burnt out & broken - never seem to get it right

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 23, 2019

Crazy result considering how poor SL have been recently and how good SA are at home!

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 25, 2019

So on the day of the warmest February day in history in the UK the game in the West Indies looks like it’ll be called off due to rain!

tisza · Feb 27, 2019

Buttler and Morgan - 2 players who when they are in the mood are almost "unbowlable" to. Some extraordinary shots. Buttler fastest ever ODI century in W Indies. Hope it's not a challenge for gayle

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 27, 2019

Glad they’ve had some time to bat!

It is frightening Hales can’t get a spot.
Root for me is the only one you could/would drop for him

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 27, 2019

400+
Buttler 150
England break world record most 6’s in an inns that the Windies broke in the first ODI

Hopefully the bowlers can knock them over for under 200 and really hammer them!

tisza · Feb 27, 2019

Problem is it's a nothing pitch. Other issue is this 2 balls - one for each end - doesn't help anybody. End of innings no help at all for bowlers.
Decent balls were going the distance. Bowlers tried to vary length, cross seamers etc. but nothing there to help them.

tisza · Feb 27, 2019

this isn't looking good atm.

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 27, 2019

Windies of the brink of getting that 6’s record back!

Don’t worry Wood will see us home!

tisza · Feb 27, 2019

Rashid steps up. Woakes was pure fodder

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Feb 27, 2019

Wow some game!

Fair play Morgan sticking with Rashid at the end!

tisza · Feb 27, 2019

have to learn to bowl to Gayle -really only reason series is competitive. why they don't bowl across him early with a slip not sure.

Covstu · Feb 28, 2019

It was a great game, had everything. Morgan has been a ever consistent captain and plays a constant aggressive but calculated game. Impressive stuff and a joy to watch! Really enjoyed the whole series to be fair and fair play to the windies in turning some massively poor form around over the last 2 years

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Mar 5, 2019

Billings into the side for the 2020 game, yet Malian 4 T20 50’s in his last 5 inns for England can’t get in!

tisza · Mar 5, 2019

What is with Billings? Just don't get it (watch the big score come ) hardly a great domestic record in any form. No runs in 15-20 int T20s

Obviously one of the boys! Must be a ‘good lad’ to have on tour!
A bit like Wood pre this tour! (Performance wise)

tisza · Mar 5, 2019

Rashid bowled beautifully. T Curran nice again
Plunkett garbage.

Covstu · Mar 6, 2019

On our day there is no one close to us, can’t wait for the World Cup. On another note, reading Warne’s book, good read

tisza · Mar 8, 2019

some good news sounds like Ramprakash has finally been let go / sacked

tisza · Mar 8, 2019

billings finally gets a score. never get rid of him now
