Eng v NZ - 2nd ODI

The problem is that whoever is batting with Trott in a big run chase has to virtually double their normal scoring rate to get anywhere near to keeping up with what is required.

going at a rate not too dissimilar to Guptill's first 50 runs today. Highly doubt Trott is capable of upping the ante later on in a similar fashion though.
 
It seems odd that of the top 6 batsmen used in the Test series, the only one not retained for the one dayers (excluding Compton of course who is out of his depth), is Bairstow who is probably the most destructive and powerful player available to England.

Also think Prior should be in team
 
Bleurgh. What a horror show of a performance, we've got no chance in Champions Trophy.

We were the best one day side in the world what, 2 years ago?
 
its like they have gone back to to the way they used to play..

aye Trott's record is good in ODI but its because he takes little risks and thinks more about his wicket than scoring quicky, which is fine in tests ;-)

Reminds me of the 2006 (?) world cup where we had Vaughan and that Irish fella opening 'seeing off the new ball'. Awful tactics.
 
Run a ball century on the cards for Trott. No support from the so called flair match winners.
