Great end to a shit weekend of sport..
Need to up our batting though.
Lack of match practice showing up for us. It is good these games are going ahead and whilst I haven't seen any of the matches its clear our bowlers are in better nick than the batsmen. We really need this hitout before the Indians arrive for the test series later in the year.
It just feels weird defending him all the time, it's a bit lazy to say he's a shadow of his former self when his record still stacks (and betters) nearly all of his teammates in both formats. It just feels like every time he's batting and doesn't score a boundary off every ball it's a copy and paste of "Root needs some time out as he's regressed so much".I think they’ve both got some issues at present but Root’s tendency to keep falling over to the inswinging left arm ball is something he needs to sort out sharpish.
JB & Cpt Morgan going good guns though!
He averages 50 in ODI’s which is fantastic, all I said was he needs to sort out the left arm issue which seems to get him more often than not, proper Achilles heel for him.It just feels weird defending him all the time, it's a bit lazy to say he's a shadow of his former self when his record still stacks (and betters) nearly all of his teammates in both formats.

Another great stat from bbc, since 2017 he's the leading test run scorer and 2nd in ODI for England. He's had an average few months in what is ridiculous times. Just doesn't need to be said in my opinion.
Buttler has scored 1 & 3 in this ODI series, are we saying he's regressed since that 100 against Pakistan?
Sorry fella it wasn’t aimed at you per se, was just engaging with your post.He averages 50 in ODI’s which is fantastic, all I said was he needs to sort out the left arm issue which seems to get him more often than not, proper Achilles heel for him.
And Buttler’s just gone for 8 so good to see an improvement...?
