I think with the new coaching system and Brendon McCullum having full control of both Stokes will play ODI cricket

Yeah, maybe. His body might tell him otherwise though.

You're surprised?

No, more resigned to it by now!

Might as well play the test team in ODIs. They score more than these ODI specialists.

They're better than us clearly. That's fine but the frustration comes when all the England players come out after the game saying we're doing everything right etc. They won't learn of they don't know when they've made mistakes.

Why weren’t England bowling line and length like this? We have an absolute obsession with bowling short. And batting shit. Fucking brainless

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Doesn’t help that we’re playing these two.

When I watch good bowlers like Bumrah, Stark, Hazelwood, Cummins they create pressure and stifling scoring by bowling fast, accurate and on a good line and length. When I watch our lot they are obsessed with bowling short (and getting clobbered). Sometimes seems like Rashid is the only brainy bowler we have.

Not sure Marcus T is the right coach either

£175 for a day’s test cricket at Lords next summer.

Just seen the catch by Carse to get rid of Smith. Wow.
