To be honest, I see more potential here than Bashir.

Oh yeah, at least Bethell has had some tangible results across the formats but my point was is that it is probably difficult to expect too much of him in ODIs given that he has previously only played 24 list A games. However, of course he can hardly be blamed for that given that he is in the 100 compo. Re Bashir, I see some talent and I see why they want him for Australia in terms of bounce, but there's no way he's the best English spinner either in Asia or England.

Not entirely sure what a good total is on this pitch, there's a little bit in it. But the concern is that Jaiswal gets in and makes 300 seem a cakewalk.

Buttler seems to have decided that 300 could be about right with the way he's playing.

Ah FFS!!

That's unacceptable from Livingstone, utterly ridiculous. This new era under McCullum seems to be getting worse. It might be handy if the ECB pull them out of the Afghanistan game to save further embarrassment.

I like LL and want him in this side but he should have told himself he needed to stay in for the next 10-15 overs, particularly as he's more senior than Bethell. We could easily get rolled over now.

Your mistake was then remembering....

Bethell has played a really sensible innings, struggled at first, but hung in there and now looking far more comfortable. Just a shame some of his team mates couldn't do likewise, the real horror shot coming from Livingstone.

The dumb decision making was definitely applicable to many of these players in the t20s and has carried over to here. The need for the main batters to actually be there for the crunch overs is something that they have failed to comprehend, regardless of the format.

The white ball setup very much has the attitude of "someone else will do it".

Sadly, I did for Bethell there who succumbed to a horror shot (there's been some poor umpiring in this too). Perhaps the key point of the innings was the Root lbw which was umpire's call, but to be fair looked out. But we shouldn't be reliant on one player to see an innings through to its entirety.

A lot of starts, no-one taking the responsibility to kick on. Up to a point, this is more irritating to me than circa 10 years ago when the test team started having a plethora of batters who got in, scored a fifty or so and then got themselves out. A lot of old 247ers know how much that used to trigger me!

250 odd max. not a competitive total. Theyre a very poor white ball team. Brook looks average in white ball- average dropped under 40 for ODI, a duck today

Brook for their supposed #1 bat has been an abject failure. todays duck adds to these scores in the T20 series, only 1 match out of 5 he was good, 4/5 failures, an 80% fail rate. Add in todays failure, thats 5/6 failures an 83% failure rate in this tour so far.

Dont rate him in white ball. Hes good for tests but on flat decks only as well.
