    And with a tournament approaching rapidly on the horizon, England shed their limited overs form just in time for matches that actually matter...

    England are trying to outdo every previous collapse. No pragmatism whatsoever. KP would have got a score on this surface.

    That means dropping the captain. It took years to do away with Cook and Morgan doesn't look like falling on his sword... That usually requires a bunch of ATG players coming through at the same time a la Gilchrist, Ponting, Warne, McGrath with very good players in support. The only player that...

    I'm surprised that people are so gutted that we've finally turned the corner. This is what was supposed to happen against NZ and Australia after the World Cup and we've had excellent performances in ODIs for nearly 12 months. Our middle order by its nature is feast or famine. I'd rather have a...

    2016 Under 19 Cricket World Cup

    Congratulations to the Windies. Atoned for the mankad with good performances.

    Nonetheless, they still bowled horribly in Australia. I saw a couple of their good spells but they were few and far between and didn't take many wickets. Boult bowled a lot of pies during that tour and his economy was atrocious. i don't know how either has bowled in this match.

    I'm not taking points off because he's experienced. I'm taking points off because he averaged under 30 against the only decent attack he's faced. I recognise that it takes a huge amount of ability to plunder the runs he has as players get out to bad balls all the time.

    How? I find it to be a major factor in Voges' favour as it was in Hussey's. Making your debut when you're older than 30 means you've had over two decades to learn your own game and this can only be an advantage. Voges career has been within a perfect storm: loads of experience before test...

    I think it's more than a little coy to compare a 25 year old who is learning his trade to a 36 year old who knows his own game inside out.

    When you take into context his vast first class experience, Voges only need apply himself and the runs will come against the likes of the West Indies. I've got to give him credit for averaging 500 against them.

    Is Voges the worst batsman to average over 50 in 19 innings? I can't think of many who have played as many matches against a joke of a bowling attack. The best bowlers he's faced in his career are Anderson, Broad, Southee and Boult.

    What a travesty to lose that match. I think Joe Root should be MOTM as he made what could have been a procession into a nailbiter.

    Better to be disappointed now than peak so early in the World Cup cycle.

    Root should stop scoring centuries. Broad should retire from ODIs.

    I don't understand why England pick Woakes over Jordan. They are the same bowler when the pressure is on. Of course, let's bring on the guy hit for 6 6s in an over.

    England have thrown this away twice. Root is too good for these fools!

    Look who's back to bowl pies. It's Chris Woakes, everybody!

    Not quick enough to play as a test bowler I'd think.
