England Struggling

[HomerJSimpson]

A pretty strong England side currently 129-6 against a West Indies side that even they are sating is under strength. It seems that they are struggling at the one day format at the moment and have they started to go too gung-ho and trying to blast sides into submission rather than playing strokes and making 4-5 singles per over safely to keep the board moving. Only chasing 226

You mean a massively overrated England side struggling against spin yet again? If Root stays they should still get home albeit the pitch is dying

Also the main spinners pretty much bowled out now so gonna be part timers to bat against

Not just me that thinks they are over rated.

Lucky old hundred stand to see them home then?:whoo:

thought Woakes played superb, arguably more reliable than some of the batters! Injury to Gabriel a bonus too as left them with very little bowling once the 2 spinners were bowled out

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Very intelligent stand between Woakes and Root. Very good knock by Roy as well. So strong off the front foot.

I saw some decent spin bowling from both sides today.... it's often unwise to start the hand wringing with 20 overs to go

Joe Root - Sheffield's finest.

Overrated? I don't think so. We are a good side.
