When Dhoni came in he assessed the pitch and new with his years of experience they had zilch of a chance of winning this game so he just wanted a net.

Which I feel is pathetic ....doesn’t matter u loose by 180 runs or 80...this was not World Cup where run rate mattered...he should have tried counter attack...he’s is no number 10

Agree but he had time at the crease and when he did go for it he got out straight away that pitch was hard to go after the bowlers

Well done to England on turning the ODI series around, after getting their arses handed to them at Trent Bridge in the first game. On to the test series now.

Went last week against Derbyshire, great game. Just got my ticket for the Roses match tomorrow night, not many tickets left.

Who would everyone pick for the upcoming first test then?

I would like to see Vince back in the team but not at number three on this occasion.

I think I’d go for something like this:

1.Cook
2.Jennings
3.Root
4.Vince
5.Bairstow
6.Stokes
7.Buttler
8.Woakes
9.Broad
10.Leach
11.Anderson

when the world cup starts next year england will be a flop and bottle it when the pressure hits home of being called the bets ODI team in the world ?? you still need to go out and win it nobody will just hand it to you, also the ECB will pick the wrong team again like picking root ?? and somebody will have to take the blame they say never show your hand to early and england have just done that with india, they are (india) very good at looking shit when its meaningless ODI series that are for TV with nothing really on them but come the world cup you bet your life they are ready and hard to beat
