Here's Jonny! Bairstow will feel that he has definitely missed out after only scoring a PLF today v the Banglas.

And a rather predictable PLF from Root himself. To be fair some of the later bowling from Banglas has been good.

And now Babar Azam gets his name on the thread after getting to 50 and getting cleaned up v India!

If the Babar dismissal has been quite pivotal to the outcome of the match, Rohit Sharma will be kicking himself that he hasn’t tonned up and got over the line here. Therefore an entry.

Harry Brook should have been added yesterday. A forlorn effort in a disastrous performance.

A livewire start by Sri Lankas openers, Nissanka and Perera but they get out before the job is finished! On here they come!

Will Young certainly gets here with an entry against Afghanistan for the Black Caps.

Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das get fine starts, and then they don't kick on in the game v India.

Moderately. Marco Jansen might be worth a mention.

There was much discussion on the merits of Kohli's innings amongst the Indian members of my cricket club over him being rather selfish. Some of them thought he got his just deserts when he got out 5 runs short of his ton. However, for the purposes of me feeling the need to update this thread, he is definitely worthy of an entry!

I’ve not updated the thread in a few days because I was away. However, how could I not get back to it for a Rohit PLF!

In all honesty, I don't expect it to really get going until the England test team plays again, i.e. next February when they will give us multiple entries. When this equivalent thread was started on the old Cricket 247 forum it was done so after the India 2016/2017 tour when unconverted 50s had been an endemic part of England batting performances for some time, especially from Root, as the opening post here suggests. However, the number of 50s might well be dependent on how many raging bunsens India prepare. The more they do, the less posts there will be here.
It will be combined team entries

Virat Kohli, the gift that keeps giving. Perhaps it is a slight sign of decline, even in the format to which he has arguably excelled the most, that he has been unable to convert more of his opportunities at this World Cup.
Not so much that's he's passed 50 and not converted 4 times but that 3 of his dismissals were in touching distance of tonning up, so quite uncharacteristic of him really.

The biggest loss in ODIs has always been a possibility in this world cup. especially England's putrid effort v SA. However, on getting 70odd they took that out of the equation.
I was looking up the largest team score without a ton and found this!

The team barely passed 50. A 302 run win in the end.
