I know, maybe he's just not suited to limited overs cricket.

England strolling to victory, 276-2, Root 43, Stokes 22, 34 overs. Need 83 off 16 overs.
81 from 93 and here comes Jos
Edit: Thought it was Buttler. Not Buttler. Curse you, team sheet.

Mo and Stokes need some time in the middle. I think Butler's place is safe!
Aye, that’s a good shout

A stroll in the park for the hugely understrength invincibles. 5.1 overs and 6 wickets in hand, a mismatch lol
Seriously though playing on a minuscule ground just massively inflates scores, you get double and even treble value for any shot at all, even a mishit, everything goes for six.
That 359 was possibly worth about 250 on a normal postage stamp sized ground and was found wanting once the Jonny and Jason show started rolling.
More than five overs to spare and in second gear after the openers went, an absolute massacre. Pakistan fielded like a team full of geriatrics too, worse than a minor club's third xi.
Wood is fit for the next match according to Morgan, with Archer and Rashid back that bowling attack will be completely transformed from the county standard one playing today.
Dawson for Denly a no brainer, one over for nine with two big full tosses thrown in from Denly, Morgan couldnt get him off quick enough, he knows his weak link.
Why on earth they thought a thirty three year old non spinning leg spinner would fit is beyond me, he's meant to be some sort of batting cover too, but has struggled badly every time he's been given a chance... his time has well run out.

Morgan has to sit out the next ODI (4th one on Friday) having been found guilty of slow over rate- usual fines - 40% of match fee captain and 20% other team members.
Bairstow also given one demerit point for hitting the stumps with his bat after his dismissal.
Presumably the returning Jos Buttler will take over as captain and hope to get a better result than his last time (dead rubber -multiple changes, only one they lost in Sri Lanka ODI series)

England is a shoo-in for the WC...devastating batting line-up.
Mind you, the Pakistani bowling is a bit poo

Good day so far for Lancashire, currently 182-2, an unbroken partnership of 144 between Jennings (92) and Jones (61). Now only 48 runs behind Northants.

.....the only problem I see is that they play high risk cricket. Roy could have easily been out early last night but survived a few scares. In a knockout game they could have a collapse but I suppose the risk is mitigated by them having so many top batters.

yes Eggs...they bat deep...and you can rely on at least one (or two, or three) to hit their straps. I fancy the bowling attacks of India and Aussie to present some curbing influence...but I still fancy England to win the tournament.
My team?...if NZ can get to semis, I'd say it was a good showing
....David ‘Bumble’ Hughes said yesterday he thinks NZ are a great e/w bet.
