14th Match - England v Scotland

[viriya]

The way England are playing it's like they are paralyzed by structure and planning and fear of failure.. just go out there and give it a go ffs.

the only thing worse than England's death batting is their gambling adverts

 

[Jarquis]

He's my hero

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, Buttler should have come in before Taylor 5-6 overs ago.

 

[Goughy]

I like this Scotland team in the field. They are not very good but they are solid, seem to know their roles and look decently drilled. Wardlaw looks like someone not out of place on a cricket field

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, Atherton's a shiz-stirrer.

 

[Cabinet96]

Is it really a better pitch than 300? Moeen the only bloke who has timed it today.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

C'mon England, shake it off!

 

[Spark]

just 5-6?

 

[Cabinet96]

Jesus Eoin.

I would have said 300 par at the start of the day, but it does seem to be a little slower & holding up a touch today, so maybe it's actually 270-280 par pitch.

Moeen the only bloke who has timed it today.

not sure that has a lot to do with the pitch

 

[Jarquis]

Got hold of that

 

[wellAlbidarned]

just 5-6?

You generally don't want to send icing in with more than 10 overs to go because you risk them trying to be cake

 

[Zinzan]

just 5-6?

Well that's when Taylor came to the wicket. But yes, Buttler should be used as a floater, coming in between the 35-40th over ideally.

 

[Gnske]

Butt off

 

[Zinzan]

Decent finish from England, still an outside chance of 320 here.

 

[Cabinet96]

We should've opted to double our 30 over score.

Soon find out, if Scotland struggle to 220 in 50 then it not such a bad display.

buttler is better than that imo.
