Morgan on 50

 

Morgan 100. England 277-5 after 48 overs.

 

England 296 after 50 overs. Morgan 107 (run out).

 

Shame they didn't get the magic 300 but a great knock from Morgan, and Stokes and Ali did well too.

 

Sadly won't be able to monitor match any more as am out on the lash tonight (also known as having a single glass of wine).

 

There's always that dilemma. Should you string the single glass out so long that you barely enjoy it, or do you neck it in a moment of wine passion and bathe in memories when you could do the odd irresponsible thing without the remotest mishap.?

 

Couldn't trust one of you to deputise for me, could I? We won by 45 runs.

 

My wife is always telling me that women can multi-task.
Didn't want to tread on your toes.

 

Not so long ago, India wiped the floor with Australia in India winning the series 3-0. Well it looks as if the Aussies learned massively from that defeat as they are 1-0 up and have gained an early upper hand in the 2nd. All on the sub-continent. It begs the question do England ever learn from the defeats against India and Pakistan in learning how to bat against spin, and bowl proper spin. Australia learn, while there exists a massive question mark over England.
