The collapse is well under way

We might bat for 40 overs. Baby steps.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fuck off Brook you stupid useless immature twat. Another pathetic dismissal and should not be anywhere near an England captaincy. A great batter ruined by a mixture of bazball and his own arrogance

Indeed, useless cunts, get in a good position, Root gets out and then the innings folds, awful

Genuinely refreshing to see an England team full of hungry 35 year olds.

We are shit at silly cricket as well

 

[BringBackSwales]

Pity the poor fuckers who have travelled all the way over there. McCullum’s reign as white ball coach has started pitifully

It’s likely to get worse before it gets any better.

Once the old players go, we’ll have no game management whatsoever.

Aren’t Duckett and Crawley older players?

Definitely more experienced. Crawley is only 27 though, so we could have another decade of him…

I was meaning more Root, Buttler and Rashid really as the real elder statesmen.

Fair comment regarding Rashid we will be fucked when he goes. Thanks for telling me we have another 10 years of Crawley!

Oh I don't know about that
My daughter did a uni placement in Sri Lanka and loved the people and the place
Cricket is secondary on a trip there

Probably secondary for your daughter but not secondary for the people who’ve gone to watch the cricket

I like the fact that you can still build an innings in 50 overs. It’s not just a slog fest.

Each day that passes, I dislike 20/20 more and more. Soulless franchises Frankensteining sides together for 6 weeks that no one really supports.

The ODI 50-over games are now just a slog, hit and miss, because of the 20/20 cricket
The days of a player getting a hundred from a hard days batting in 50 overs is now deemed not good enough

Not for the best teams. They can still build innings.

Sadly, England can’t.

I find the middle overs tiresome. There's no desire to score quickly and no desire to take wickets. It's basically waiting for the final 10. England probably went too far the other way and batted too slowly in the first ODI. But no need to score quickly in this one, and it will be tough to anyway.
