Watkins and Johnny Martin aside (modern day cut down Hoggy)

"With what's happened recently we are reviewing how we're actually playing the game and the type of player that's required in the one-day format," said Hohns

That's why we pay him the big bucks

Indeed. That statement has "FFS" written all over it.

Our only performing batsman (Finch) is out injured & replaced by....you guessed it...No Show. Actually, being a dead rubber game, he will probably go ok.

Guess it was him or Failey.

It was always going to be Maxwell or Maddinson.

Especially as Head has'nt made any runs

by Big Dog Fri 26 Jan 2018, 03:41

Bairstow gone. Eng 3/4. All too little too late of course.

by Big Dog Fri 26 Jan 2018, 03:49

Root goes for a duck. Eng 4/6. Looks like England have mentally gone home after securing the series.

by Big Dog Fri 26 Jan 2018, 03:53

Butler gone for a duck. This is getting ridiculous.

by Big Dog Fri 26 Jan 2018, 05:01

Second gets Morgan. 6/61

by JGK Fri 26 Jan 2018, 05:12

5/8!!!

Smiths field placings & bowler rotation is helping England get back into the game.

Tye's first wicket in ODIs

Y'see this is why England won't win the world cup. No matter how good they look in some matches, a batting performance like this is always just around the corner and they don't have the bowling fire power to have any hope when it does happen.

Utter horror from England, save for Woakes on our national bogan day.

Not sure who Zampa is sleeping with.

And they're still going to win.

Is it time to pull stumps on the Adam Zampa experiment?

Wouldn't go that far, but agree regarding Zampa. He is either sleeping with the right people or is in possession of very incriminating pics of someone in high places.

How many times have we seen this in recent times where the selectors made a mistake & then refused to acknowledge it.
