I think Hales and Roy are the best openers for the ODI team. As you say, Bairstow is getting bowled too much coz of the poor front foot.

Is Wides top scoring here? 🤣

England's enormous ODI Achilles Heel on show again. Simply seem unable to dig in and set a competitive score when things dont go well. Its either top gear or stall on the start line. Or, as someone said on twitter: great punch but a glass jaw. This more than any other team is what potentially could scupper England's chances of winning the World Cup.

keep hearing how talented and skilled this group is, that is until the ball moves off the straight or bounces a little, they then look like rabbits in headlights. 100/5 and still playing like its a 400 deck, no doubt we'll hear its just how they play at some point

Yeah Eoin, keep bowling the brittle, injury prone Mark Wood when the Windies need less than 10 for victory. Quality captaincy.

well hes scared to bowl Curran, scared to bowl Rashid and been told not to bowl Stokes into the ground...................

neither of these 2 shouldve bowled more than 3 or 4 overs, but for very different reasons!

Would have been serious bantz if they had all had to go off for the break with the Windies needing a couple for victory. Thankfully Tom Curran made sure that didnt happen!
