At least hold judgement until it's finished. Could easily turn 35 off 50 into a 100 off 100

I wrote it when he was struggling cutting and on about 17 off 36 then he hit Maxwell for 14 or whatever it was in that over, looking better now.

Has Taylor done enough to get in to the test team? Think he has more potential to open than Moeen Ali who bats more like a number 5.

Sorry guys I'm out of the loop, when did Morgan fall out of favour with the test team? He's been the rock of the ODI team for a while hasn't he? Is it a Bevan situation

So do we think there's a reason why Stokes has a toilet batting record in ODIs? Or that the universe will sooner or later just naturally right itself on this point?

Yeah he never scored any tough runs in tests really. He had a chance last summer to get another shot - skipped IPL to play more first class cricket if I remember rightly - but didn't score any runs

watching Hastings bowl is one of the worse things in cricket. Everything about it is unattractive

Hastings has somehow gotten even burlier since I last saw him

Chase going pretty well now but not much batting to come. Bairstow needs to get set

I think he kind of falls into the "aggressive Test strokemokers who aren't really hitters" basket, ie. he's too reliant on hitting boundaries along the carpet to really succesfully bat in the middle order of ODIs - he needs to either go over the top more or take more singles. But I don't think that explains all of it; his record is still much worse than it should be.

There is a really prenounced change of action from Pattinson. More side-on and not making as much from his height as he could
