If Cook isn't out for the next game then they have an opportunity to bring Taylor in for Morgan. And if Cook is out they could still do that and bring Bell back too.0

180-5. 56 off 6 overs needed.0

I know that you're his biggest supporter but I think even you must admit that the time has come for him to have a little rest too and come back fully refreshed.Riviera said:Morgan! Why?

50 off 5.0

. . 4 4 2 . off the over.
40 off 4 needed.
Buttler 30 (27) & Root 34 (41)0 -
6 off first ball from Root but then he hits it straight to cover and is caught - but he's called back for a front foot no ball. And a free hit!!!
33 off 23 needed.0 -
Cracking game this. England actually look like a 1 day team for a change0
-
21 from that over! 19 needed off the last three.0
-
Free hit goes for a single followed by a full toss which Buttler hits for 4, then mishits one off the splice of the bat over mid off for another 4, then squirts one through backward point for yet another 4 and finishes with a single for 21 off the over.
Dare I say game over as a result of that no ball with 19 off 18 required.0 -
. 2 4 4 1 . means Buttler 54 off 36 and Root 41 off 45 and just 8 off the last two overs required.0

We win with 8 balls to spare by 5 wickets. Buttler 55 and Root 48.
Matthews had four still on the boundary with just one required because he forgot about the revised D/L total!!!!
You've been following AA for CL from the third ODI at the Mahinda Rajapaska International Stadium in Hmbantota. I hope you've enjoyed our coverage.12 -
we won one .. downside means that we're stuck with Cap'n Cook for the next 10 years ((:<)1
-
AA good effort with the updates mate, much appreciated!1
-
Cook has had done decent ODIs... For Essex. And Morgan just isn't doing it. Otherwise, we have the making of a team that isn't thoroughly crap0

Never heard of a ban for slow over rate before, thought they just got a fine?0

As you inferred Algarve Cook has indeedbeen given a one match ban.Addick Addict said:If Cook isn't out for the next game then they have an opportunity to bring Taylor in for Morgan. And if Cook is out they could still do that and bring Bell back too.
It has happened a number of times before. The captain is, after all, in charge of the tempo they bowl at and a fine to someone like Cook is hardly a deterrent.
And who knows what might happen if Hales and Taylor both get big scores ;-)
Cook will be straight back in that's what ;-(0 -
You're probably right but let's hope they do both get big scores, put some pressure on the selectors & see what happens. Could be interestingAddick Addict said:Algarveaddick said:Never heard of a ban for slow over rate before, thought they just got a fine?

Cook appointed captain for World Cup - oh well, thats us fucked then..

Still time to be a non playing one.The_President said:Cook appointed captain for World Cup - oh well, thats us fucked then..

Perhaps the rest of the team could deliberately slow playing in every game from now between now and the World Cup. Then, under the totting up system I've just invented, Cook would be banned for the whole of that tournament.2 -

England win the toss and opt to bat.
James Taylor comes in for the suspended Cook. Potentially a very exciting batting line up:
Ali
Hales
Taylor
Root
Bopara
Morgan
Buttler
Stokes
Woakes
Jordan
Finn

Hales plays a loose drive for his second ball and is caught at slip.
5-1.
The sooner they bring Cook back the better ;-(1 -
Taylor looking very nervous. Playing at a lot off the back foot which looks great when it.s flowing but, when it's not, it looks like you're stuck in no man's land.
14-1 off 5.0 -
Can't recall the last time I saw an English batsman make it look quite as easy as Ali is at the moment.
25-1 off 6. Ali 17 (16) & Taylor 6 (19).0 -
I tell you what I've taken some great wickets in my time but this has to be one of the best ;-(Addick Addict said:Can't recall the last time I saw an English batsman make it look quite as easy as Ali is at the moment.
Second ball Ali receives from Dilshan he gives the bowler the charge and would have been stumped - but for the fact that he nicked it on the way through!
29-2 off 7.2.

Taylor plays the most audacious walking pull over "cow" from outside off for six to the medium pacer Thirimanne.
44-2 off 9. Taylor 21(32) & Root 1(2).0
