It's turd. Go off number of wickets lost, then a bowl out. Methods that have worked well for as long as any of us can remember. There's no need to keep introducing more gimmicks to appeal to the attention span challenged.



Bingo.

I thought it was wickets lost in the super over, then 6's, then 4's. After that they never mentioned.

You could be right i dont think even the players know to be honest

Quite simply, Luke Wright and Ravi Bopara destroyed the WIndies. They have to be our opening partnership tomorrow, and Bopara MUST be given the chance against the Aussies, he's had a fantastic summer so far.

Hope Ravi has not peaked too soon. Great knock by Wright last night.

England's warm-up wins need to be put in the context of the opposition IMO, which wasn't exactly great on either night.

They're still no better than 5th or 6th best side in the competition I reckon, even with home advantage.

Personally I'd be going with:

Bopara, Wright, Pietersen, Shah, Collingwood, Foster, Rashid, Broad, Swann, Sidebottom, Anderson.

cracking player - a bit prone to the booze though

Didn't we try to get him to choose to play for England when he was younger,him and freddie would have been good drinking mates

yes we did.

Muppets

Good for the first 10 overs

absolutely shocking for the next 30

Stuart Broad 3 run outs missed and a dropped catch in the last over

all true - but i can't believe how slow we looked at getting to the stumps and backing up.

well played holland

Stuart Broad is absolutely gash!!

Anderson is the only decent bowler we have.

clearly it was all broads fault

He missed 3 run outs and one missed catch in the last over



Hitting the wicket without the ball



Add that to his gash bowling performance in his other overs and i'd say he was our worse player.

Am i right in thinking that if he never threw that last ball, it would of gone into a super over ?

not a great last over, but what were they chasing 7 or something, that's not his fault, it would have been 'get out of jail' if england had got anything out of it at that point.

Holland put England under pressure in the field from ball one, clattering those that were there to be clattered, and taking ones and two off virtually every other delivery -. smart cricket from the novices.

oh dear

Correct

am I right in thinking he did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago

As usual in limited overs cricket, England fielded a scratch team: players totally unestablished in the team in unfamiliar positions: Morgan at 4, Key at 6 -what was that all about. Morgan's reverse sweep was a toal embarrassment. We just don't have a cohesive unit.

If we hadn't faffed about, the middle order would have pulverised Holland after a solid start by Bopara & Wright. Why so many new boys? We took them lightly and paid for it.

You just knew we were in trouble when KP wasn't in the side!

I bet he could have played aswell but they thought 'sod it, it's only Holland'. Well they look like a right set of mugs now!!

We simply don't have enough big hitters in the side. We hit zero 6's whilst Holland managed 4! Just about sums it up.

That was Swann. According to the radio.

Though there were some terrible individual England perfomers (I use the term lightly) in the field, the batting wasn't too bad.

Well done Holland, I say. Terrific run chase and a thoroughly deserved win.

Do they get a Dutch cap?

You really are clueless aren't you?

Sure he was $hite in this game, which for many isn't even seen as cricket.

But FFS, Broad has been one of, if not the, stand out performer for England in the past year. Give the lad a fooking break. We shouldn't be relying on run outs to beat Holland anyway.

If anybody gave the game away bowling it was Rashid and his 36 runs.I thought Broads last over was quite good,he had a chance for a c&b and 2 chances for a run out,but i'm wondering is where was the leadership to say don't throw the ball away before he bowled the final ball.
For me I would get rid of Collingwood and give Key the captaincy as he lead Kent to the title last season and has far more knowledge of how to play this style of cricket than Collywobble.
