196 runs on the board with 10 overs to go is not terrible.
It will be if they don't happen to score at 10 an over for the last 9. Anything under 300 will be a chase-able total on here. Maybe terrible was an exaggeration, but I'm just frustrated. It's just the same batting performance time and time again. Batting slowly, relying on the last 10 being explosive. When it fails, we're screwed. There's just no plan B, and no urgency in the first 30. We might end up winning, but it's just frustrating to see the same batting performance from the top 3 over and over again, It's fine when they go on and accelerate through their knock, and score like Trott did against NZ, but when they bat slowly and then chuck their wickets away, it piles the pressure on for the last 10.

Whatever total England get Australia are going to find it difficult unless Warner or Watson have a blinder. Our middle order is very inexperienced so yeah 270 is going to give England a good chance.

Harsha Bhogle hate? I love the guy, he seems to have a good relationship with every commentator he is with and he calls the game as it is, he has an easy to listen to voice as well.

Morgan really is a horrible looking batsman

Obviously has a great eye but I'll be amazed if he ever amounts to more than a very average longer format player as his technique has so many holes in it

I just had a look at M. Wade's LOI record. I had forgotten how terrible it is, neither good average nor strike rate, bring in my buddy T. Paine...

Jos gone OOPS.
