See that actually happened on the last day of the Sydney test. Not sure if I've seen that happen before the other dayIs it still 5 for the ball hitting a player's helmet ?

Root passed fit for tomorrow's match. Meanwhile, in New Zealand, Trent Boulton took 5-17 in helping bowling out Pakistan for 74.

England won the toss and are fielding.

The fire rises
They were 8 for 30 too. NZ are the form team in the world right now. Trent Boult probably the form bowler.
Hammering it round. Good to see i grudgingly admit
when allister cook was batting at the other end while teammates didnt review poor dismissals, too many people excused him saying it;s not his job, joe root there showing exactly why it's important for the non striker to pay attention, saving jason roy in the 90's
we've got a fine limited overs set up currently despite our mixed test performances, I'd swap hales and bairstow around, but look at the talent we can bring in for this format, marshaled by an experienced limited overs captain. Also, root might be leagues behind smith in the test format currently, but he kholi and williamson are complete 3 format players in a way smith is not.
Good to see plunkett in the wickets, he went for a few but bowls wicket taking balls, I can't help but feel he could have done a role in the ashes, maybe come in and bowled 3 or 4 overs of out and out pace, unfortunately we dropped him after taking career best figures because he was a bit expensive (pretty much echoes what holding said about the ecb), he hasn't seen a red ball since
I get the feeling aus cricket now has 50 over cricket a distant third in the formats. At state level it seems to be an afterthought now jamming all the games in about 2 cities at the start of the season most probably due to the succes of the big bash. You used to be hard pressed buying a ticket 6 months in advance at the scg for an ODI 15-20 years ago now you could rock up on the day and sit wherever you want. That's not making excuses for us getting outplayed today either haha
jason roy gets the biggest odi score against oz, goes past robin smith, what a good player the judge was, another treated poorly by the tories at the ecb
I don't know how adam zampa gets a game. Terrible player
It's a good job that Root Roy partnership went on for so long because if they'd have left even another 20 more needed, there's no doubt England would have found a way to collapse and fold.
Eoin Morgan. Scores runs once a year. Dire player.
