Yes averages 46 with 6 hundreds and 8 50s with a strike rate of 105. That's a record miles better than Hales, Roy, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler. In fact every single player that's played for England bar Root in modern times. You f***ing numpty :lol:

He's either been found out, or he's developed a major flaw in his game which is being repeatedly exploited, and he's either too arrogant or unable to adjust it. He's becoming a walking wicket

Not much problem with this 'major technical flaw' when over time you score more runs at a better average and a higher strike rate than just about every ODI player we have had in history FFS :lol: Like all players with a proven high class record they have poorer spells. The pisstaking is beyond a joke.

Just an opinion mate ;)
 
Awful. Absolutely shite.

World Cup could be a proper embarrassment at this rate never mind "one bad game in the semis"

You are just being a bit of a prick re Bairstow because of your Surrey bias with Foakes. I repeat you are talking about a player with close to the greatest record of every player that has ever represented England in its entire history. Its there in black and white. His last 18 innings in the last 12 months he's averaged over 50. If thats arrogance and being 'repeatedly exploited' or a 'walking wicket' :lol: then I wish some of our other players were.

We simply let the groundsman know, that if any one of them create a wicket like this they will never host another England game.
It's what home advantage is all about, if we do allow a wicket like this if we face these or the Aussies, then we deserve to go out.

We won't get anything like this but conditions in England could produce something like a green steamer or a slow turner. Seen both before and we've struggled. Think SA at Lord's and Pakistan at Cardiff.

As I keep saying unless we get absolute roads throughout we will fuck up somewhere. And if we do get roads our bowling will struggle.

You could look at the fact we have such a brilliant team, that just in this series, we have knocked off 360 in one game, scored 416 in another and have probably the cleanest hitter in world cricket in Buttler.

Despite this one off game, which can happen to anyone, our one day team is clearly in good shape.

Really? Then why am I not doing the same with Buttler, you absolute helmet?
