*Official* 5th ODI at The Rose Bowl

[Spikey]

classic bailey. also why he's not a test player

 

[91Jmay]

Oh dear George. That's out isn't it.

 

[Furball]

Picking 1 front line seamer was always going to be a problem - only having 2 in the initial squad was stupidity.

I think that given the major lack of bowling depth in England's ODI side, the emergence of Jordan and Stokes as viable projects, as well as Rankin's elevation to quality backup status are definite positives.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Batted Watto, now get out LBW again.

 

[wiff]

Well done Watson,now double it.

 

[91Jmay]

Watson being starved of strike here.

 

[91Jmay]

Bopara to get away with 10 overs for 54 is good work on this pitch.

 

[wiff]

Voges always starts slowly

Revising downwards as we go here

 

[Spark]

this is poor stuff tbh. leaving 40-odd runs on the table because of carelessness.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Smart take from Jos, that.

Nothing sort of prod from Voges tho.

 

[91Jmay]

Bailey/Voges 12 off 31. Just couldn't rotate the strike.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Run out potential must be high here.

 

[91Jmay]

Watson had to go this over, last one of Root. Good hitting. Need him out, 320 still easily on the cards.

 

[MW1304]

What planet does Morgan live on?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ugh. Real horrorshow stuff from Root there.

 

[Paul S]

Watson on fire

 

[wiff]

Don't need to run if they're hit for six! or if you are back in the pavilion

 

[91Jmay]

Aha Stokes with a 4fer. Keep them under 320 now, if we do that it should be an interesting chase.

 

[grecian]

Is Stokes going to get 5, whilst bowling toilet for the most part?

 

[Spark]

such bad batting since the pp
