Root’s duck and the 11 balls we left out there might cost us the game. Is my guess.

Nah, we'll get them out for under 300.

Can't wait to see what ancoats has to say

I think the words Joe and Root will be in there.

I agree. I was trying to channel my inner ancoats.

There's only one Ancoats. I suppose I should have picked up on the Root reference.

Cheeky Root Michelle Pfeiffer would do the trick.

Ancoats always criticised Root as a captain. Not as a batsman. And he was not wrong.

But Jesus, I've just tuned in, not been following it. Last time I looked, Bairstow and Root had both gone for the equivalent of a packet of crisps. Disappointing. That man Stokes … he is the fucking man!

Now; I'm not the sort to say I told you so. And as the job isn't done yet, I'm not going to. However, it's looking promising.

I'm just double checking if you said 300 or 100

The Kiwis/black caps seem a decent enough bunch of lads (unlike their neighbours), so I don't want to be too much of a twat towards them.

New Zealand are now 9 down, 1 short of what Stokes got on his own.

Once we reached that score game was over

Alright if I say it now?

Noticed Chris Jordan not in the team again , is he injured or is he no longer part of our thinking?

He’s never retired from ODIs, but seems to be a 20/20 specialist around the world, hopping from one franchise to the next.

 

[BringBackSwales]

How the fuck is David Malan in the England one day World Cup squad and Harry Brook isn’t?

Shouldn’t be having a pop at myself but I got that one a bit wrong!

Congratulations to Adam Zampa on a well deserved Century v South Africa.
113 conceded from his 10 overs :-)
Heinrich Klaasen making Stokes look like Geoff Boycott.
