We lost it at the toss! Despite winning the toss. That target would’ve been tough in a test match on that pitch
Might keep Jordan out of that lot ,simply for his fielding,but the rest are turd.
Big reset needed. I'd say the coach/selectors need a look too. Picking the wrong team at the start of the tournament was criminal
End of a cycle. We built towards 2019 and the 2022 World Cups and instead of then refreshing the squad, we've clung on to the same old names.
I think Bairstow is done at International level across all formats.
Starting with Nasser , haway South Africa shut him and his mates up.
He's been crap since he came back from injury. Definitely needs a good clear out, hope they are bold enough to do it
I think YJB gets a rough ride from us all - some of it is self inflicted with his grumpy attitude - but he's been an excellent servant to the English game, particularly at the start of the Bazball era, but you are right - he's not been the same player since his injury. He'll be 35 by the end of the summer, it's time to step aside IMHO
Oh I am praying for a South Africa win. If India win, I'm deleting X from my phone for about a month - their fans are as unsufferable as their commentators. Someone needs to put Gavaskar out to pasture
Wonder if Eoin Morgan could be tempted away from the commentary box to coach the white ball team?
There was a “what an unbelievable shot” yesterday, when he top edged it for 6!
"oh what an amazing stroke, wonderful timing and feet to the pitch. World class batting, just unfortunately the ball didn't bounce and clipped the bails. So unlucky"
So. Bowled through the gate then?
It was awful to listen to, a shame really as the Indian team spoke for themselves on the pitch, still hope the South Africans can beat them just to shut those b****y "pundits" up .
Had to watch the last 2 tours to India on mute. Cannot stand the overwhelming bias of the home commentators. I was brought up with the likes of Richie Benaud, Brian Johnson, CMJ and Jack Bannister. Honest, decent commentators who called it how they saw it - if anything, they were harder on their own nations than the opposition.
It's not just the commentators - who remembers when Virat was bowled through the gate by Moeen and refused to walk, so the umpires reviewed?

Thought Ollie Robinson might have been in with a shout with the gloves. Been in good nick with the bat as well for Durham.
Durham back in T20 action tonight at home to Worcestershire.
Aye, I've come through with the family. First one this season, weather looks decent so should get a full game in
