Positive start from Ali & Bell.. if they can get us upto the ton mark we're in with a sneaky chance, but don't think we've got anywhere near the strength in depth
We need to get to 200 by the 35th over (without losing more wickets) and take the powerplay, get some momentum and hope to score 143 off the final 15 overs... lol
It's best to just write this game off and for Morgan, Taylor, Buttler and the rest to get some batting practice rather than try to chase a pretty impossible target .. sad as I am to type this
And that's the most ridiculous catch in front of square I think I've ever seen, Buttler couldn't have hit that any harder. Obviously not meant to be today lol
You couldn't write that. Morgan trying to pull, gets a toe end and Haddin takes it diving to his left.
That's four ducks and the grand total of two runs in the last five innings.
Nobody will want the poisoned chalice of the England captaincy.
Nothing to do with the captaincy, both Cook and Morgan are simply not good enough for top class ODI cricket. Goody Two Shoes teachers pet will quite happily take on the job.

He's out for 0 anyway. And the medium pacer has 4-13. Did we miss a trick with Bopara?
