Think we'll see him bowl fewer and fewer overs as time goes by

He probably needs a few months off to get it sorted. But cricketers like him don't get it!

They play all the time almost, even when he has pulled out of International one day stuff .

I'd like to see him get the op he probable needs. But that
would mean missing the IPL. He's a professional, and he would be hoying around a million quid away.

Might be worth it though, and if just "managing" it isn't working anymore, maybe his hand might be forced.

Bring on the Ashes.

Bring on the Ashes.

Absolutely. What Stokes and McCullum have given the team/squad/ECB is clarity - clarity on how they want to play and how they want to structure the team.
Been well documented that Stokes has told ECB he wants/needs 8 pace bowlers available for the summer
Duckett and Crawley have been given a clear remit to create a fast start - none of this "take the shine off the ball" that you read in MCC handbooks.

It's so refreshing and I think we have a massive chance to reclaim The Ashes. Going to be interesting to see where Bairstow fits in the team - whilst Foakes is the best keeper, it could be an option to give YJB the gloves

We have just smashed 326 runs off our 50 overs in Bangladesh. That's some going!

Jason Roy - superb

Sam Curran got it on a string

At the moment it is a no contest match.
Superb showing by England

Mahmood finished his last over with 2 slips, 1 gully and someone fielding at point. 50 over cricket

Wickets win matches. Seems to be the outlook of all of England cricket at present. Great to watch

Great throw from Ali for a run out

And the last wicket finished off next ball

Jeez these Bangladeshi commentators are even more biased than the Indian ones.

Everything Bangladesh do is "amazing" and when they lose wickets it's just down to luck
