yeah, afridi is horribly bad but our overall batting is ****e in any case no matter how many batsmen we pack into our team.
Might as well play 5 good bowlers and try to restrict the opposition to an obtainable total.

Anderson and Broad seem to be getting better every game. Broad getting some pace back 143ks +

The thrashing of WI must have really hurt if you're taking comfort from a meaningless 15 man warm up game.
BTW, Philander is a better limited overs bowler than anyone who has debuted for the West Indies since, oh say.. 1989.

Reasonable workout for England here. Ballance and Hales getting a knock and all the bowlers with a chance and a tight finish. England bowling getting plenty of criticism on the radio coverage.

Normal kind of problems for England. Inability to take wickets in the middle due to a samey type of attack. Hard not to go through the motions in games like this with players trying to avoid injury but still would have been nice to win. Pakistan used the extra bowler/bat so it was basically 11 v 12.
Bopara continues to impress. Hales has never really batted lower than 3 afaik but I wonder whether they look at him at 6 or 7. Pretty bid adjustment for someone like Hales who isn't the smartest.
Pakistan probably better off playing the 5 bowlers based on this game and risk getting knocked over occasionally when batting for a low score.

If he was, he'd be actually playing the cup and not sitting out for fear being called a chucker.

Interesting that there seems to be Snicko but not HotSpot for the DRS. Is Benchy now deciding how the ICC's money is spent?
rehashing old (three day old) topics to bump up the post count, clever morgs.

I think I'd just move Moeen to six and play Hales. I'm not a huge Hales fan but I think it'd be the best option at present.

Typical us tbh. Worst team in the World when it comes to the top and middle order rotating the strike. It's boundary or bust.
66/3 now, Samuels gone for a duck. Scratch worst at rotating the strike. Replace with worst at everything.

Yeah this.
Like you I don't rate Hales that highly but if it comes to a choice between him or Bopara then it's a no brainer for me.

Ramdin & Simmons bossing the Scots looks like WI will go fairly big. WI may be quite weak atm but I reckon they still have a good talent base if only the politics didn't ruin them so much. Still should make QF's could have been a chance of semi but i doubt it now. Gayles form is getting embarassingly bad, makes Guptill look good.
