Batting first was a silly decision and not playing a 3rd spinner. Morgan never shows up in the big games.
This wasn't a big game on paper. But daft batting first if we won the toss. Against Afghanistan it is best knowing what you have to get and giving them the problem of deciding what is a good score! Still winnable though I we can get it to 130 ish.
Should we open the bowling with Ali or even Rashid?
Shahzad likes nothing better than pace and we need to get him out early. Our "quickies" have been average to say the least.
Back of a length spin is our only hope to get him out real early, he'll rage a shot that isn't there. Any pace bowlers he'll eat up at the flick of a wrist
From 85-7, that was a good finish. 142 is a reasonable score to defend against this opposition, providing the bowlers put their brains in gear, unlike the batters. Bayliss should bang their heads together. That smacked of a Big Time Charlie attitude to start with, apart from Vince who looked nervous.
