Moomintroll Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Ton for the Bairstow twin who doesn't play red ball cricket. Leaving the collapse a bit late today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 This is an annihilation, England over 100 runs more on the board than India at the same stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Showing my ignorance here no doubt, but given the misery England had from the India bowlers in the test matches, why were none of them brought here? I get that ODI is not test cricket, but are those bowlers just rubbish in ODIs or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not rubbish as such but the skill set, different pitches and even the ball make others better options, Bairstow would be hammering the same players he couldn't last 2 balls against in the Tests. You will get some injuries & players resting as well such as Jadeja & Bumrah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Absolutely no logic in keeping your bowlers for the death when it's never going to get near that, you have to keep going with the guys most likely to take wickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they have prepared something that isn't a complete tattie field this time around? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
