So 303 to win. A good challenge to our batsmen. Woakes after his 6-for in the last ODI got to see the other side of the game today going wicket-less at over 7 an over. Sometimes you just get lucky bowling in ODIs and those slogs fall short of the boundary down a fielders throat. Meaning, don't get too excited when you pick up a few wickets, or too despondent when you go round the park. A good challenge, but I can't see them doing it mate, they've messed with the order again so Taylor comes in at 5 now to accommodate Hales at 3. The accommodation is opening with Cook! Meaning to have Cook in the team we play two other players out of position. As you say though - it looks way too far. 181 - 6. Yet another fail for Morgan. And it seems despite Cook getting lives he still can't manage a score of any note; 32 is a nothing score. It certainly doesn't win games. A dismal series - but pretty much what we expected.

When will the ecb sit up and take notice that cricket has evolved and we haven't, why because we're British and stuck in our ways.
We're light years behind in 50 over and t20 cricket. And the the test side is the worst we've had for a long time.

Just absolutely horrible to watch, dull, feeble, embarrassing cricket.
All compounded by Jayawardene taking his first wicket since 2000 to finish it off.
Pathetic England. Utterly Pathetic.

A humiliation. And not the first! And not unexpected. We are so shit! On the basis that we can't do any worse let's just cut the dead wood out. These players who have played for a long time and simply not delivered. Meaning thank you and goodbye Cook, Bell and Morgan. I'm not saying this will fix things - but those three have taken us nowhere. Let's have a new start built on the young players who have actually done something in ODI's in the past year and if there is any space bring in some new blood.
