This is where England can show why they will win the World Cup. We all know they can blast 350+ on a flat wicket, but can they grind out wins after being 10-2 without playing too aggressively
In the last match Morgan brought Rashid on too late so he was forced to bowl at the death and still not compete his overs. In this match he brought him on early and he got the big wicket of Gayle forgot to bowl him again after the 29th over.
Morgan clearly rates Moeen more but the figures don't lie as to who, of the two, has been more effective :
DRS not fit for purpose again. Supposed to eliminate errors/howlers.....try telling Curran that.
Got me be a better way than "using up your reviews". Double penalty perhaps. Duran reviews knowing he is not out......if out then penalty runs added. That or the decision is taken away from the batsman......a bit like VAR. To add to that I reckon Stokes only reviewed his because he was set & didn't want to get out (see his reaction afterwards-throwing pads away & stomping off). Selfish twat.

DRS quite fit for purpose in this occasion. two umpiring decisions, one was a howler which DRS should have corrected. However because of our stupidity we used the review when Stokes obviously knew he had it. You could tell that by his reaction in the way he panickley looked looked to see whether the wicketkeeper would catch it
I never like to see England lose. However anybody else think this was a much more enjoyable game when there is something in the pitch for the bowlers, not much but something. Load less runs but better game!
