PHILINFRANCE Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I should be interested to know how many of England’s squad have actually played a 50 over match in the last year or so. Obviously, plenty of 20 over matches and the infernal 100, but not many (if any) 50 over matches. A great shame, in my opinion, as it is my favourite short form format. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 As soon as I heard that Stokes was picked for this tournament despite having retired from the format and having an injury, I thought oh dear. We won the World cup then ditched any interest in the format. Lack of games played has stopped us bedding in enough new players. Shambles...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I`m not sure of the rules but might we have to pre-qualify for the next one if we finished in the bottom two or three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's done on world rankings at some arbitrary point before the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well think the top 8 are automatically qualified then the rest have to go through a qualifier competition. Sri Lanka and Netherlands came through that knocking out Scotland, Ireland and West Indies .

Northern Red Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 The main talking point here is that Stokes was apparently offered a 3 year deal but has only agreed to sign for 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 England were 45-0, then lost the remaining wickets for 111 runs. Within that was a 47 run partnership between Stokes and Ali.
