[RavenBish]

Ali gone now. Imagine if they send Root in too

 

[Saddlerrad]

What do you mean imagine? There's more chance of it bring me in next if not Root. How many will 3 an over get us 255? Score and a half that.

 

[RavenBish]

THEY ACTUALLY FUCKING HAVE AS WELL

Root and Ballance for the last 15 overs with 8 wickets left and 201-2. You can't make it up.

 

[RavenBish]

hitting 280 with Buttler, Morgan, Taylor and Woakes never even getting to the crease.

Only fucking England.

 

[JJH]

Fair play Ali, he's the only one in the top 4 that play ODI Cricket in the 21st Century way.

Ballance has all the makings to be a fantastic test player, but ODI? Really? He's a slower batter than Trott!

And batting 3? Why? He has never batted there at any other club, so what's the logic behind it?

 

[RavenBish]

Gary Ballance

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Ballance is gone thank fuck for that, absolutely hopeless cricketer especially in ODI format, what is he even there for?

And now he's out, for 10.

Probably a good thing to be honest.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Too angering too comment. Total wank.

 

[Destruction]

Going to bed.

 

[RavenBish]

Call a powerplay then drag on trying to tickle it down to third man for a single first ball. That might be why he bats 5 for Yorkshire...

 

[JJH]

Chance for Morgan to regain a bit of form, not that the captain of ENGLAND in the ODI format, should struggle against fucking SCOTLAND.

 

[Aber gas]

Give me fucking strength. What are they doing . A collapse against fucking Scotland !!!?

 

[RavenBish]

He's played that like it's swung at 91mph. Fucking garbage...all of them.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Give. Me. Fucking. Strength.

 

[JJH]

Root out for 1.

Game on against Scotland, fucking hell..

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

That stat they said earlier that we've only ever hit 350+ twice completely sums up England as an ODI side. You look down the batting lineup and it's just negative batsman after negative batsman. Even the ones who can hit big have been shite for a long long time ie Morgan

 

[Aber gas]

Medium pacers causing carnage . Sack the fucking lot and start again .

 

[JJH]

England predictably batting themselves even further out of form.

 

[JJH]

Defend, defend, defend, prod for 1, defend, prod for 1.

Zzzzzzz

It's a power play against fucking Scotland..

 

[Dazza]

Why are England always so crap at powerplays.

 

[RavenBish]

Morgan batting with the conviction of a tailender trying to bat out the last session on day 5.

 

[Merger most horrid]

This is pathetic I have got to get up at 4.50 to go to work....What a waste of a nights sleep

 

[Saddlerrad]

No words can describe how pathetic this is. Praise The Lord for Moeen Ali.

 

[JJH]

5 runs from 3 powerplay overs, keep it up lads

 

[Dazza]

Blimy. Morgan has actually got a run.

 

[RavenBish]

If this was for Notts, Taylor would be dancing out of his crease to these trying to slog them over deep mid-wicket. England really are great at ruining players.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

I used to really enjoy watching Morgan bat. Real shame watching him now desperately struggle against fucking Scotland. Doesn't even seem remotely capable of a big shot anymore.

 

[RavenBish]

I used to really enjoy watching Morgan bat. Real shame watching him now desperately struggle against fucking Scotland. Doesn't even seem remotely capable of a big shot anymore.

He's just not Eoin Morgan anymore. Where's the variation in his game, moving the field with the sweeps and reverse sweeps and flicking it past fine leg? He just seems to want to only hit anything with width that he can aim a mistimed swat at through the offside.

 

[JJH]

I used to really enjoy watching Morgan bat. Real shame watching him now desperately struggle against fucking Scotland. Doesn't even seem remotely capable of a big shot anymore.

As much as the form he's in is incredibly poor, to but the blame of the team down to him as many are doing is ridiculous. It takes years for good captains to have their stand on a team and really create their own, he's only been in the job a few months.
