Old English batting habits die hard though.;)

The scores are starting to get a bit silly in 50 over cricket. No longer an even contest between bat and ball. Rule changes have all been in the batsmens favour. Just an extended 20/20 slogfest.

Geoffrey Boycott knew how to build a proper one day innings ;)

And he was quite a expert at running his batting partners out as well.;)

But the trouble is he did not look at his partner before going for a run.;)

Hope England aren’t using up all of their luck/improvisation before the World Cup, amazing run out and c&b from Rashid and an unbelievable stumping/run out from Buttler.:cool:

Disappointing Eng v Afg. warm up game. Needed Eng. to bat first for a game, the Eng capt. is a spoilsport ! Bet they go on to beat us in the actual World Cup !

It's their bowlers we need to worry about, 3 of them ranked in the top 20 in ODI's.:shocked:
