PaulC Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Painful innings by Bell. I'm a Bell fan but I agree, without Moeen's innings I wonder what England would be here. Ballance also looks out of sorts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 now moeen and ballance out. Good golly. Will be absurd if we don't get 300+ after the start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) A win's a win, but against probably the weakest team in the competition, we managed to rescue that batting innings to be average at best. Scores of 300 are common place this tournament, so scraping our way up to that against Scotland doesn't make me think we've "turned a corner". This Test Cricket mindset of ours is going to hold us back with one day. We seem to bat like it's a test, before we realise it's limited overs and we actually need to score, then panic and get out. New batsman, rinse and repeat. I like Bell but that innings in criminal in a One Day game on good pitches.

PaulC Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Before we judge England too harshly, remember Scotland got New Zealand to 142/7. Nerves played a part I think. The wicket wasn't easy to score quickly and only Moeen made it look easy because he is a class above the rest of the England batting. He may not make the runs all the time but I've been watching this man since he was 15 years of age and he was the most talented young batsman i had ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 this is a game, cant believe some clowns want the associates to go from this tournament 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 yeah the associates have been very impressive. At the veryt least, these guys should be having more matches between each other and some text fixtures. Reckon they're on the same level as Bangladesh at least. Kevin O'Brien on the march here.

Zatman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 think I saw a stat on weekend that all games between the "member" nations so far ended in over 100 run victories or crushing wicket defeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 saw an interesting comment on BBC maybe a 4team tournament between England, Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands would be good for everybody though I imagine ECB be too arrogant want anything to do with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
