May as well go home lads

87 all out is englands lowest ever ODI score.


Would there be anything more English than breaking the world record for highest score and then 2 games later break your own worst record

Not going to make 80

I once went to the Oval to watch Surrey play Leicester in a 50 over match. Leicester made 49, so England have beaten that score.

Surrey knocked the runs off in 2.3 overs.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Are they still using 2 balls? If so, 20 overs is a fair amount of an innings.

Gives us 30 overs to make hay, rather than our 9th wicket partnership trying to fluke a few runs.

They're doing a cracking job at lofting the ball into space.

What with the T20 games (first two, anyway), and this: just as well England have always been a very strong side in the five-day game, eh.

This is the way we play mantra has to stop.Sometimes you have to play the conditions and situation.

Bumrah the Bunger making easy work of our "expansive" approach.

You’re confusing two different teams with two different coaches and two different captains.

I’m not sure that’s strictly fair. We’ve had a lot of success with this mindset in the limited over forms of the game. It’s a strong Indian attack and the ball was doing quite a bit.
