Before you all get carried away, let's remember who started the match threads.
 

Just posted this on another forum

I know Kohli played his first 93 innings between 08-13 and Root 13-18 so a completely different game but.

Root 93 innings 13 not out 4137 @51.71 10 tons 25 halfs SR 86.85 3 ducks
Kohli 93 innings 13 not out 4085 @50.35 13 tons 22 halfs SR86.03 6 ducks

Root isn't really mentioned as a best ODI bat. Averaged over 70 in 2017 didn't make team of the year.

His average is now 80 on the nose since NYD 2017, only bairstow with better.

He should have made the team like. Dinna why we moved him to 4 like but he's still batting well
 
Are you meaning form in odi for Hales if so it's totally different

Nope, he did make a record score in the one day cup final but he was also in very good county form too.

As for totally different it isn't. It is different but batting and scoring runs is as much confidence and form if the ability is there.

Edit: he made 187 not out on July 1st as above then 218 on 7th August in a county match.
 
If anyone's been watching the Big Bash the signs have been there that their white ball cricket is lagging behind other teams. Can't recall any scores over 200 (not that it makes it any less entertaining, far from it) but only a couple of lads I've seen seem capable of playing a big explosive innings like a Roy or a Hales or a Stokes. Darcy Short and Chris Lynn. Then there's Maxwell who they won't pick.
 
If the pitch is decent, this England team can make 320 at a canter

Vaughan stated this is the best group of odi and T20 players , England have had.

Our batting is superb and can stand up against any batting order in the world imo

I thought it was significant that when we were all making our choices for the Test team there was lots of discussion and disagreement - we couldn't do it easily. It was the exact opposite for the one-day team, the team was easy to pick with confidence in all of them (knowing that if a few didn't score that would be compensated for by the others)
