Right then Buttler and Stokes, you're supposed to be the two big players, so it's up to you. Bat 20 overs and put us back in the game.

Yeah I get that. But it was miles outside of off stop. And the rate isn’t a problem at all

Muddled, as I said. Once he starts thinking that he can pull one over the rope on that side, plays the shot regardless of the ball.

Watch us somehow not qualify

If we don't qualify it's because we didn't deserve too. The loss to Pakistan was due to complacent fielding and the loss to Sri Lanka was just embarrassing. Too many individual errors and the unfortunate injury to Roy will cost us the semi place imo.
 
This "all the eggs in the 50 over basket" has well and truly backfired. Especially if we lose the Ashes ...

How have we got all our eggs in one basket?

We thrashed India 4-1 last summer and then went an won 3-0 in Sri Lanka?

Genuine question

We have been a pretty good test team for a while now, just not great as struggled to replace some legends who retired.
 
targeting the part timers is fair enough, if they get out can't knock them too much

taking on Cummins isn't needed


Tin hat on but still think the big difference here is the bowling, they bowled full first up and got 2 to swing, great wickets

We didn't

Imagine if Aussie's were 20-2, its a different game

Behave yourself, have you seen how bad our top order batting has been? Did you see how bad we were in Australia last time around? Did you see how bad we were against Pakistan last summer?

You know exactly what we’re getting at. When senior pundits and legends of the game are saying it, why would you question it?
