(Tie vs India as well in that time)

Which isn't a defeat.

Nearly 3 years since our last home ODI series defeat as well. Not sure there would be many teams out there with a better home record.

I'm sure he'll tell you if there is.

 

[Spark]

oh actually no i forgot that stupid sl 3-match series just before the ashes. never mind.

 

[Jacknife]

Should have sent Morgan in instead of Bopara, made it a little bit more interesting. Having trouble hitting off the square atm.

 

[Jarquis]

There's now been 8 bowlers used in the other ODI today too

 

[Expressway76]

Trott truly is a batting robot. A humourless mechanical getter of runs. Long may he continue.

 

[Spark]

too early wade

 

[Stumpcam]

England took just 17 runs off of that batting powerplay. I know there is no real scoreboard pressure but that isn't exactly positive batting.

 

[Jacknife]

This is the thing with Ravi he goes from looking international class one game to being pretty clueless the next.

 

[Burgey]

If Bell doesn't ton up here he wants shooting.

About time you came around to that line of thinking.

Fmd I just woke up and heard what's happened. I know July is the anniversary of the Somme but I dost expect our blokes to commemorate it by dropping like the proverbials. What happened to Lee and Watson?

Like he said in interview the other day when he scores runs England tend to win

One innings or two?

Lee busted a calf, Watson did something to his ankle.

Weird sort of chase this, have to say. England wouldn't want to (and to be fair probably wouldn't) bat like this against a full set of bowlers.

 

[Spikey]

england are just trying to lure bailey and/or forrest to the crease

Clarke should bowl them and Wade for a giggle. Get them to spend some time at the crease in one discipline.

It doesn't need to be.

 

[Spark]

i mean you have 8 wickets in hand. what exactly are you waiting for?

 

[Spark]

mind you, dussey is bowling pies so fair enough

They've just played the situation haven't they, just been putting away the bad balls knowing part timers would be bowling a fair bit today.
