Eng 149-3 SIngle from Trott, then Morgan blasts McCullum through the covers for four, earning him a quick burst of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" by the stadium DJ. (If you ever find yourself singing that particular song on karaoke, it's very important not to start in too high a vocal register. Trust me on this one, thinking back to a particular night in the Hutt Valley in New Zealand in 2008...)
Meanwhile Republic of Ireland are playing Georigia - who are managed by none other than Temuri Kestbaia.
Shocking performance with the bat outside Trotty. Great pitch, I thought Morgan or Buttler might have given us some fireworks. If they had we could have had a good at this total. Bell, Cook, Morgan and Root should be disappointed. Got themselves and then got out in a poor fashion.
Maybe he'll get a century in the final 8 overs and win the match! OUCH! That must have hurt. Right in the chops!
His average drops slightly after that 2. It was up at a lofty 2.83 previously. How can you be a professional cricketer and have so little ability to hold a bat? His average came up and the missus said "I could average more than that" When my missus is sledging you, it really is time to pack in Why is he even in the squad? I'd get rid of him and Woakes, play Tredwell and Stokes.
