Always warms my heart to see an Englishman out to a reverse sweep in a vital WC match in India.
Edwards had improved out of sight by the time he was injured. Obviously when he started he had played virtually no serious cricket and had to learn to be a Test cricketer by playing Test cricket. And more often than not, he was battered.I think Edwards is a classic case of absence making the heart grow fonder. Always thought the guy was extremely erratic, even though he was capable of the occasional wonder-spell. Not sure he is all that much of a miss for the WI.

Morgan departs as well. Not watching this, but it seems the pitch is really helping spinners. I think England are still in a good position because of the quick start they had, but they must not lose any more wickets. Get 230-240 or so batting patiently and that should be good enough.
It's not the shot, so much as the context of the shot. It was a ridiculous way to get out. Plain and simple.The reverse sweep is a shot Morgan generally plays so well. He doesn't see it as a risky shot due to his overall success at playing it and time he has dedicated to trying to master it. It's a shot everyone thinks is silly when it doesn't work, but it is a strong area for him and I certainly don't have any problems with him playing it.
Admirable understatement on both counts.Not sure that shot was required from Morgan. England struggling now.
