***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

[grecian]

England won't make more than 350, 360 - I think there'll be a reversal of the 1st NZ ODI last summer - blistering middle period, then a wobble of wickets and England will tail off. Would love to see a big, big score, but I need convincing.

EDIT: ****

Yeah, we certainly need to watch it, amidst the euphoria of New England, we still have this weakness of people not going on to big scores. If Jos gets out here, we could be on for an almost sub-par score.

edit nearly a great catch.

I forgot about Stokes. Still not convinced with him in ODIs.

yeah We've had 3 players today @~50 who really should have gone big, or at least one of them go big with Jos.

Chasing 340?

We'd be incredibly lucky. This should convert to 380 tbph. Lots of depth here for England.

I think he should play in SA. I won't keep him in the team when playing in the subcontinent.

Lol just living in hope... 350+ will be tough especially if we lose qdk early.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We need shooting if we don't get more than 380 from here.

Seems crazy to say that about an England ODI side.

 

[91Jmay]

Jos has been starved of strike a bit here. Why a maneuver-er like Taylor is ideal to bat with him not necessarily someone trying to smash it all over the place.

 

[Niall]

This is how you bat in limited overs cricket India, and yep they are words I never thought I would type

 

[91Jmay]

Man he is just so, so good.

 

[Jarquis]

I love him so much

 

[vcs]

What's the world record highest ODI total? In danger here?

 

[Cabinet96]

WAG. z

 

[grecian]

YAY Jos

 

[Stace]

God he is soooo good, reminds me of AB in many ways.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

What's the world record highest ODI total? In danger here?

443 (SL in Netherlands, on the one day in history Amstelveen wasn't a soaked swamp). More realistic target is the highest England total of 408/9, from last summer.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Buttler really is something else

 

[King Pietersen]

I ****ing love Jos Buttler.

 

[weldone]

What's the world record highest ODI total? In danger here?

443...don't think so

 

[Pothas]

For the first time really that hundred felt just so regular.
