Would've thought Bairstow playing for Yorkshire may have been better to try and show red ball form, potentially same for Roy if there was any thought he could play red ball again. I S'pose the thinking was get us off to a great start so the youngsters following have less pressure. Agree about Bairstow/Roy, final total 275?

B1ackbird Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 FM: Billings is 29!! How time flies. My 275 estimate is fairly Conservative as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 For me Moeen Ali would be done at international level, 33 years old and won't be in our next world cup squad we spent 4 years preparing for it and that's why we were ready, the difference for Rashid being a year younger is he still wins games by himself with the ball. I'd rather we focused on a younger 2nd spinner to be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 That's a hell of a win from an Ireland team that are still in transition. I think that only Kevin O'Brien is left from the 2007 team. Chasing 329 against England in England is no mean feat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully deserved victory from Ireland, I hate to admit I thought England were going to win by 100+ runs after our innings Some of the death bowling and fielding from the England side mind was woeful, and no doubt a few players did more harm than good for squads for tournaments in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Decent start for England, I like the third umpire watching the front foot every ball, just seen with the review it saves that 10/15 seconds checking the front foot every review as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
