The spinners were doing nicely, but it always seems that teams default automatically to their "best" bowlers even if the match situation doesn't suit them
I mean he literally is a captain of Worcestershire’s T20 (or definitely was). With no Morgan, Buttler, Root or Stokes there wasn’t a lot of choice left.
I think England should call up Zak Crawley, for the one day internationals, he is in great form and I think he would be good cover.
Nah, we want to win the Blast!
England games over early next week.
But 3 Blast games over the next few days at the same time
One of the most frustrating side effects about the current situation is that players are stuck in the bubble as reserves. Obviously it's unavoidable due to Covid, but Malan for example has been named as a reserve for the ODIs, so probably won't play but is still unavailable for his county when he would be a massive asset in his current form. Ditto Phil Salt

Yes, you are right I thought there was another round of Bob Willis trophy games, before the next blast games.
He will probably never captain England again, he is the 4th choice behind Morgan (not sure why he didn’t play), buttler (given time off to see family) and root(excluded due to covid bubbles).

Morgan is rested his injured finger (dislocated on Sunday
Root though was dropped for "playing" reasons rather than due to bubbles

Thanks for that, I assumed he wasn’t included due to covid. Surprised at that

I assume the logic is that Malan can do the "Root" role better and they didn't want to keep Root in the bubble, just as a backup player which is probably fair
Ok, I'll start with my usual rants re weather & start times. No crowd on today so start time doesn't matter. Once again weather is on the radar for later this afternoon (5pm onwadds). So, guess what......start is at 1pm instead of bringing it forward to , say 10.30?
Might get the 2nd innings started but doubt (if the weather people are to be believed) that we will see more than 20 overs. Certainly not all 50.
Wouldn't it be great if all players had the same attitude to cricket as Wood does - play hard but always with a smile on your face. Many club players could learn from him!

DL anyone ?
Rashy's excellent bowling only matched by the Aussies incompetence
