OMG how can that happen. Stokes is supposed to get himself out 10 times before he officially gets out. Restart the game?
It's largely the same group of players. They've just peaked and been given a good dose of hubris.Probably hasn't helped, but I think what we've seen so far owes more to what we discussed a few weeks ago about the class of 2019 not quite being what they were and the newcomers not yet being as good as they will be. Now of course, that will look very silly on both counts if Stokes, Brook and Buttler see us home today.
EDIT
Ah, make that last point just Brook and Buttler.
I really don't think that's likely to be the issue at the end of the group stage.Our net run rate is going through the floor here.
CRY!!!!
I think there was always a chance that the bowlers would struggle. I expected more from the batters though.Is weird that they have been this bad so far though.
But why would you bowl on a flat pitch in extreme heat?? We’ve already noted how the new ball does more under lights. Have they not watched any other game? Have they not seen how SA are better batting first?Is weird that they have been this bad so far though.
