Brilliant batting from Roy. If only the English had been a bit more positive against Starc, Hazlewood & co in the tests, things may have been different.

Can't wait actually for the New Zealand v England ODI games in February/March. Arguably the two best in-form ODI teams in world cricket right now. I've got tickets to the Christchurch game, looking forward to it

Excellent, I'm heading over to the Mount if I'm lucky enough.
Some nice grounds to watch cricket in nz it looks like on telly. Lot better than huge half full stadiums like here

NZ Cricket has done a lot of great work on the smaller, "boutique" grounds in NZL. As you say, better to see a grass embankment filled with people than a large half-empty stadium. Bay Oval in Tauranga, Hagley Oval in Christchurch, McLean Park in Napier, and Saxton Oval in Nelson are probably the best. Also these generally produce great pitches for limited-overs cricket.

Chucked a tenner on england winning the world Cup. Thankfully I did it before that first odi. We should be seeing our standards high and looking to win all these one day games v aus, we have a fearless one day team.
Just looked up where the next world cup is cos i didn't know and i like the format i must say. 10 teams all playing each other then semi finals, hasn't been done since 92 apparently

Stokes charged with affray.
Good to see that the CPS remembered they had to get round to that.
Am I right in saying that the other 2 fellas he battered have been charged too? Serves them right for swinging bottles.
But surely it's in everyone's interest to drop all charges.

England make 302-6 off 50 overs. Jos Buttler finally returning to form with 100 n.o off 83 balls, with six fours and four sixes. Together with Chris Woakes, 53 from 36 balls with five fours and two sixes, they added 113 from the last 11.5 overs. Morgan made 41 and Bairstow 39.
Fair do's england. Miles better than us in this format of the game.
