3rd ODI - England v India

[Safc_Luke]

Roy is a doubt.

Vince and Billings will replace him if he doesn't make it.

Who opens with Bairstow?

What’s happened to Hales?

 

[WCC]

What’s happened to Hales?

Side strain batting in the nets.

 

[Silly Point]

Hales injured as well. Vince and Billings FFS Would have given Hain or Livingstone a go personally. Anyone but those two numpties

Yes 68 in list A I believe. Has to be worth a go

I think its very strange that billings keeps getting a go he has rarely done anything at this level.

 

[Keith S30S]

It's only his little finger. Strap it up and get batting man.

 

[Safc_Luke]

Hales back in

Out for the series isn't he?

 

[Rip Van Fish]

I think its very strange that billings keeps getting a go he has never done anything at this level.

Tidied

Out for the series isn't he?

Thought he had been dropped

 

[LD19SAFC]

Hopefully the rain keeps off.

 

[HarryChest]

Ali to open with Bairstow?

 

[SAFC 83]

I’d open with Buttler and bring Vince in to the middle order. I think Vince is a decent one day player and I feel Buttler is better the earlier he is in. May not work but I would like to see it.

 

[stephen cartwright]

I would love it if we could afford to offer plunkett a contract

Can only seeus having that kind of coin if Collingwood packs it in this winter.

That is brilliant from Rashid, the look on Kohli's face was priceless

However, if he can pitch it on leg and hit Kohli's off stump I worry about what Kuldeep might do!

 

[Safc_Luke]

Dhoni is playing a strange innings. Only 60 balls left man...

Again

What's a good score on this wicket? Cricinfo reckon 220 is competitive

And if Colly does pack it in then we'll need a captain … which means enlisting an experienced player as captain or someone like Smith gets a pay rise.
