I don't think that true, but even if it was it should have just meant he bowled more earlier instead saving him up for overs be wasn't going to bowl. Has been the pick of the seamers today by far.

saw it coming when he persisted with Ali who was just conceding above the India RR and not taking wickets, then brought back Wood which paid dividends but almost sealed said deal - Butthead tic tacs R us, the book will be out in dew course

Weird how they've not even given Willey a contract going forward.

Silly from Sky yes he had to go for it but could hand kept that along the Matt

Going too hard is how SKY got his place in the Indian Team to be fair. It definitely wasn't because of consistency in 50 Over cricket .

England have a good team and they've played closer to their ability today.
Cricket is high variance and **** happens.

exactly, when England could have done with wickets to take India out of the game they went with Wood, Livingstone and Ali who promptly helped India recover and add 80+ runs for the 4th wicket
Besides anything else who would bowl at the death? and in a low scorer surely you don't want to go to the death, you want to finish the opposition off before the 47th over
I always hated when England seemed keener to bowl their 50 overs than bowl out the opposition, for those hate sides not batting their 50 this is the reverse, making sure they do!!

I'd be surprised if we're not playing a completely different ODI side going forward and others are still going to play Test/T20 whereas he will not.
Agreed though seems very harsh. But if he'd had made himself the batter he should have been, his career would have been completely different so only himself to blame.

Three Willey, I mean free Willey
could be a testing total already, looked like 215-230 was on and could well end up being that, England passed up by choice any chance of bowling India out for under 200 and India may have returned the compliment turning down the chance to post 250+

Yeah that would be a bit harsh on Tommy but wasn't really thinking about the keeping side of the game tbh

Haha it was a particularly dire ball to bowl to Kuldeep too. He's not terrible at orthodox batting, just really struggles to score off good balls. You don't need to do anything special to him to dot him up.
