Bowling a fit Willey at the death would be bad enough (he's easily one of the worst death bowlers I've ever seen). But bowling a tired, cramping Willey at the death is just wow.
 
Good thing that we decided to weaken our batting in order to improve our bowling...

Good thing that we won the toss and choose to let SA set a score...

I suspect that is now our WC over. Klaasen really is the best middle-order white ball batter in the world right now.

6th over of the innings. Only Buttler to come until we're into the tail.

Either Mott is getting sacked as coach in a few weeks, or Jos will be "stepping down" as captain.
 
One Day Cup needs to be reinstated as a senior competition me thinks. ECB have kneecapped one day cricket here and the chickens are coming home to roost.

This will sound awful but why bother with 50 over cricket? 20 Overs is far better. A day of test cricket is 90 overs and a 50 over game is 100. That is too long. Logistically most people want to watch short form cricket over an evening, not a whole day.

It depends if you want England to do well in this format really.

When the oñe day game started, it was 65 overs! That included a lunch break mid innings, an Interval at the end of the innings and a further tea break during the next innings. 130 overs, so I don't think 50 overs per side is too much!!

But it only works for a nice day at the weekends, whereas 20 overs can be played after work.
 
Given the platform NZ had set between Mitchell and Ravindra, I think they should have got more than that.

Latham, Phillips and Chapman all failed to cash in.
