Problem is now we have no Cook and have struggled to replace Strauss We is going to bloody open in the ashes? Keaton Jennings is just as **** as Vince
Stupid shot from Morgan. We need to grind this out for abit. Forget boundaries just 1’s and 2’s and build a partnership We will lose this now
It's a football cliche but England do not have a plan B. It's one way, that's it. Knucklehead cricket.
England have always been soft at batting. They either all perform or none do We cant win this match in 10 overs but can lose it in that. Everyone can see it but the players. Were not chasing a big score so play to bat 50 overs and then accelerate at the end if needed with wickets in hand
If they was chasing 385 then yes they need to throw the bat around abit to keep up with the run rate But 285 is easily achievable by playing sensible cricket. Get a run rate of about 5 an over until 40th over then need 85 off the final 10 in the powerplay with your power players to come in. Easy chase but Morgan does stupid shots like that Aussies played the conditions brilliantly. Just never accelerated as they kept losing wickets
Vince got completed done by a great ball. And he is abit **** But Morgan, Bairstow and Buttler have given wickets away Stokes is playing superbly and playing the scenario which is what cricket is about but he is struggling with injuries atm
If we hadnt given stupid wickets away we would have pissed this Because of lack of wickets in hand and who’s to come its in the balance. Stokes is massive to our chances. Woakes and Moeen have to have big contributions aswell
Can be done this....need to keep their heads switched on...let’s Stokes play the shots...the other Batter needs to anchor 110 off 80 balls
