ADK Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Think I'd swap out Ballance Finn and Broad for Hales Tredwell and Jordan, and promote Root and Taylor up the order.
ealingfox Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Didnt Moores get Lancashire relegated? His appointment stunk of croneyism at the time and as expected hes an absolute mug. Piers Morgan is frequently a twat but hes been bang on about the ECB from Day 1.
marko Posted 21 February 2015 Posted 21 February 2015 Woakes is improving but Broad is all over the place, contributing next to nothing with the bat. Hard to believe how bad Broad has become with the bat. Looked so promising in his early days, but could genuinely bat at 11 these days.
StanSP Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 India carving through SA and the latter don't let that happen often to them! Our fielding has been top-notch. Not often that happens but everyone has been putting 100% in. Good performance all-round.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 If we lose to Scotland I will give up.
Vacamion Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 It's wrong that GSTQ is used for England's anthem. GSTQ should be the UK's anthem and leave Jerusalem for England. For the first time in a long time, me and the missus are supporting opposite cricket teams. Come on England, let's beat these.
Swarles Barkley Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 Very good first 20 overs. Would like bell to pick up the pace now. Should be aiming for 350 here
Bobby Hundreds Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 England putting an associate team to the sword.
Guest MattP Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 Genuinely think I'd make 50 against this Scottish attack.
cambridgefox Posted 22 February 2015 Posted 22 February 2015 Bells starting to get on my wick. 50 off 80 to this crock.
Swarles Barkley Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Haq's bowling about 40mph. And yet hes somehow still getting dots against Bell. This is actually piss poor from bell. 50 from 80 balls against Scotland is crap!!
Bobby Hundreds Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 ODI cricket left England behind after the 1992 World Cup. We still think 250 is a competitive score.
cambridgefox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 And to top it off they pan in on some bird in a Forest shirt. Botham is talking sense. Brilliant Bell out,that was a poor innings really.
Swarles Barkley Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 HES OUT OF HERE and in comes balllance Will we ever learn
Bobby Hundreds Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 England putting the Christ in Christchurch.
Wycombe Fox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 4 wickets for 31 runs?? I don't mean any disrespect to Scotland but come on
Captain... Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Too many test players in this side, Taylor is showing how good he is in limited overs because whilst the test team were playing a 5 test series this summer he was smashing them around the park in limited overs matches. Balance, Bell, Root, are all test batsman, they are all capable in 50 overs but having all three in the side is just wrong. Same with the bowling attack, Anderson and Broad are great test bowlers, but they don't play enough limited overs cricket to get the variations and react to the batsman's movement before they release the ball. I really don't know what has happened to Morgan either. Unless he comes good this tournament I think we need to bin him off and make Taylor captain someone who is a limited overs specialist who plays with the best limited overs players in the country on a regular basis and stop just picking the test players on central contracts.
Swarles Barkley Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 just about got past 300 against Scotland. what an absolute joke. Struggling to see what bell and Ballance offer the team
leicsmac Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Reasonably routine win in the end - regardless of the supposed ineptitude of the batsmen 300+ was always going to be enough against a team like Scotland. Hopefully this will at least give some confidence for the much harder match against SL coming up.
