Lol epic from Ravi 5 off 7 then 28 off 6

Ravi's innings with a mini-England-tactics innings within itself!

 

[MW1304]

Ravi abovepara

Trott basically just said it as well

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Morgan got sawn off today.

I know he did but he's hardly got a run in the 5 ODI's this season, nor has Buttler. Ravi though has exceeded all expectations.

 

[Howe_zat]

Wow Ravi, wickets in hand, do still count then. Well above par score now.

Yeah we should be big favourites. Big boundary set out and SL did not bowl well enough.

 

[Spikey]

That's the worst throw I've ever seen.

Did Eranga manage to change your mind with that last over of his?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Just hope his current form isn't going to win him a test recall at any stage.

a man in form is a man in form. what's trott done lately anyway?

 

[Prince EWS]

Just hope his current form isn't going to win him a test recall at any stage.

Or moved up the order, for that matter.

Really is time to decide this is his role and get him focusing on it. Big hitting finisher who bowls 10 overs or close to it in ODIs, but stays far away from the top four and the Test side.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Unless SL get up the group's basically done, isn't it? NZ's net RR so much better than Oz's.

You telling me you don't like the sound of Ravi's Ashes?

Yeah; England would need to give New Zealand an absolute mincing.

Agree, 6 or 7 with him sharing 10-12 overs with Root is perfect for him. Doing it well now and deserves a chance to stay in this role rather than get moved around again.

Is it bad that I've kinda sorta liked listening to Nick Knight this tournament, annoying idiosyncrasies aside?

Nah, Knight's not that bad when he commentates one day cricket IMO. Have said so for a while.

He's a better one day commentator than test commentator tbf to him.

Edit: Beaten

Are you an English international cricketer? If you are, yep, you should feel bad

 

[Spark]

Not necessarily - a sizable loss by NZ and sizable win by us might make things interesting. Granted, it's unlikely.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Much like his playing career then.
