Malan playing great too.

The curse of Paddy...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wouldn’t have it any other way

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s a great century to be fair

 

[BillyDee]

Hmm... Starting to get a bit squeaky...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

In serious danger of fucking this up

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

172 runs from Roy and Malan
9 extras
90 from everyone else

Obviously we're a long way from full strength here but still, don't pick absolute rubbish like Willey (what use is he going to be in a World Cup in India anyway) and don't go in obviously a batter light, as there's no way you can bank on Mo at 6 these days.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just looked and Mo hasn't scored an ODI 50 since 2017. Averages are really poor year by year since then too.

2018: 17.31 (17 innings)
2019: 18.12 (11 innings)
2020: 8.00 (4 innings)
2021: 29.00 (3 innings)
2022: 24.85 (8 innings)
2023: 11.00 (1 innings)

[Dinowolf]

Poor start from England's five batters
94-3 after 18 overs

Roy bowled through the gate
Malan given lbw after Umpires Guess
Duckett caught at long-off, off the spinner before having a proper look at him-poor shot

 

[Dinowolf]

Fifty partnership Brook and Buttler

 

[Dinowolf]

Brook gone 80

155-4 off 27.2

Mo tivation

 

[Dinowolf]

Ali gone 51

261-5 off 41.1

 

[Dinowolf]

Mo tivation

Oh dear

 

[Dinowolf]

Woakes gone 14

275-6 off 43.5
Buttler never faced a ball while Woakes was in, having faced every ball.

 

[Dinowolf]

300 up after 47 overs

 

[Dinowolf]

SCurran gone 28

329-7

 

[Dinowolf]

Closed on 342-7

Buttler 94 n.o.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s a serious total, especially if De Kok can’t bat

 

[Dinowolf]

Woakes is all over the place.
