I see Overton is in for the next test, he can bat a bit as well as bring some pace to the attack.
Makes you wonder what’s the point of playing such inferior opposition. Not benefiting either side in my opinion.biggest wnning margin in an odi is 290 (nz v ireland). england's biggest is 242 against australia when england got their 481/6 score. their next is 210 v new zealand.
netherlands going at 5 an over, but have only four wickets left. deficit currently 330 with 16 overs left.
the netherlands lost their final wicket with after 49.4overs and scored 266 to lose by 232 runs, so england's second biggest victory margin.
I was there, found myself sitting with some lads from the Dutch development squad. They said they'd been bowling at Buttler and Malan in the nets last wednesday. Said they were both absulutely cack, couldn't hit a thing! However on the day they enjoyed the spectacle as much as anyone else.What a performance by Josh, he must be the best one-day batsman at present. To see a game with a good crowd there, it looked like a real carnival occasion, though a lot down to the Barmy Army.

Perhaps it's a private school thingi just looked him up to see what jos is short for. turns out his name is joseph, so how on earth it got shortened to jos i've no idea. i suppose losing the last three letters has something to do with it.
A bit! He and Bairstow have just rescued England from 60-odd for 6 to 230-odd for 6! He's on 85, JB on 105.I see Overton is in for the next test, he can bat a bit as well as bring some pace to the attack.

FFS.......half an hour ago I was looking forward to seeing Root bat tomorrow - may still get the chance if we end up following on
Hope we end up following on tbh. Be a long day watching them bat us out of the game tomorrow otherwise.
