On 2nd hearing, it sounds fine. Apologies for doing Nehra a disservice there, his gaali syntax is immaculate. Also delivered with the appropriate stressing of syllables and vitriol. Keeping the proud Delhi tradition alive.

10/10

I think this England has a very good approach to batting in ODIs now. When you are constantly going at a run rate of 6 regardless of losing wickets, getting 300 is not as difficult. Of course having 10 players in the team who can bat also help. There's no more batsman getting in by playing a crap load of dots. More getting in by getting singles.

Early days though. Will have to see how they come up against better bowlers come Jan 15.

This would be my team I'd be hoping to get fit for the champions trophy
Get tymal mills to bowl 5/6 overs of 93+ in spells of 2, he mixes it up very well with slower balls so would be good for power play and at the death. Ali and rash to bowl through the middle and still got wood stokes and woakes to bowl seam

Hales has been destroyed after his stint in Melbourne club cricket where Riggins has sledged him to oblivion.

Willey is pretty good imho. Mills won't cut it at international level.

First ball duck for Morgan. Really doesn't seem the man for the job
Reckon his time's very nearly up, but no one can knock what he's done with this ODI team.

What did the Eng score end up as? Cricinfo has been stuck on 282/9 48.5ov for about 20 mins for me.

Edit:

Nvm, only the summary hasn't updated (showing the last wicket) full score card shows that's how the innings ended.

Morgan on very thin ice you'd think. Especially as JB and Billings have scored runs as the reserve bats on this tour.
