Well at least one English sporting team is putting in some great performances.
Cracking effort by Roy (unlike the other one!) and co. |

Excellent performance from England
Good to see that there was no panic in such a large chase Shows how far we have moved on in that we kind of expected them to do it

Good to chase down 300 plus at 7.5 an over. Roy proving hes getting there as a one day batsman. Pity the once vast hinterlands of the Oval is now a mini six hit site. Push back the stands I say !

Hopefully , we may get some sunshine to go along with it...
21 International games plus the Champions Trophy England's home season in 2017 has been confirmed as the longest in their international history, after the ECB announced a glut of fixtures spanning 148 days and featuring both the earliest start date, May 5, and the latest finish, September 29. South Africa and West Indies are lined up for full tours in an unprecedented summer that will also feature the ECB's hosting of the Champions Trophy in early to mid-June, and the women's World Cup between June 26 and July 23.. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/...y/1031373.html |

Looks too high to get involved in |

Looking like a big total for England
Captain Morgan has just become the 1st 'English ' player to hit 100 x 6 in one day internationals |

it was a bit weird watching today
it never felt like we were doing anything really aggressive but just kept ticking along at better than a run a ball and got to 324 without really breaking sweat i think today showed just how much most of the players are maturing as in addition to having the ability to play the big shots they are also starting to rotate the strike really well |

Yes, it seems likely
Is there any possibility of it being changed to a different venue as Pakistan do ? Not sure how reliant the Bangladesh board are on the revenue from this series ? The board said it will "work closely" with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and their own security experts over the coming months in deciding whether the tour, which is due to start on September 30, will go ahead. Last year, Australia had postponed their tour of Bangladesh based on government security advice. And earlier this year, Australia had pulled out of the Under-19 World Cup that was hosted by Bangladesh. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/...y/1031631.html |

not a huge fan of people being selected based on other formats but buttler may have played himself back into the test team with how he has done in this series
he's been pretty solid behind the stumps and that 90odd he made in the first game was a well constructed and sensible innings in the game situation when he came to the crease |

assuming everyone is fit this would be my top 7
cook hales vince root bairstow stokes buttler vince wont get dropped after just one series and i still think it makes sense to take the gloves away from bairstow, as he has just been so good with the bat I'd still keep the gloves with Bairstow Hope Hales' back spasms were a one off as well Vince at 3 makes the most sense I suppose I'd give Borthwick a chance somewhere in the X1 though |

even a player as good as sangakarra only averaged just over 40 whilst keeping |

thing is i think bairstow is a guy that looks capable of averaging high 40s if not even getting to the 50 mark with the bat, its exceptionally rare for anyone to manage those sort of numbers whilst keeping and when his keeping is work in progress why not just give him the chance to fulfil his potential with the bat rather than be held back as a pretty average keeper

It's a fair point, but I think that there's not much between them and with other changes in the line up likely, I'd stick (for now)

Big Change with DRS
The ICC has approved changes to the lbw umpire's call in the DRS playing conditions, with the conclusion of its annual conference in Edinburgh on Saturday. For on-field lbw decisions to be overturned, half of the ball would now need to hit a zone of the stumps that also borders the outside of off and leg stumps. Earlier, half of the ball would need to hit a zone between the centre of off and leg stumps. An ICC release said: "The size of the zone inside which half the ball needs to hit for a Not Out decision to be reversed to Out will increase, changing to a zone bordered by the outside of off and leg stumps, and the bottom of the bails (formerly the centre of off and leg stumps, and the bottom of the bails)." The amendment will come into effect from October 1 or from the start of any series using DRS that commences just prior to this date. The change will benefit bowlers and more batsmen will be given out once on-field decisions are referred as the "zone" the ball needs to hit for the decision to be overturned has increased. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/c...y/1031741.html Lots more lbw's on the way... |
