Re: Cricket
One must never underestimate these up and coming countries as we have found out before.

Re: Cricket
England doing their best to throw this one away, Morgan leaves a straight ball first up then Stokes runs out Root.

Re: Cricket
142 from 20 overs in the end and if England get out of this mess they can count themselves lucky.

Re: Cricket
They did get themselves out of it, but very lucky. Hopefully they'll keep playing Plunkett. Wonder if they dare drop Captain Morgan as he's not worth his place at the moment.

Re: Cricket
I was in two minds about emailing the 'Ask the winning captain' feature, only one question really, why did you leave it.

Re: Cricket
In my opinion he would not be my captain of the one day side as l don't really see him as having the right captaincy traits and strengths which are needed in the one day game.

Re: Cricket
Personally, I don't think England have had a good captain since Michael Vaughan.

Re: Cricket
Well England are certainly not doing it the easy way, very nearly threw that one away as well.
Into the semi's now all the same.

Re: Cricket
Not impressed with Morgan's captaincy or the spin bowlers.

Re: Cricket
Never a dull game with England! It was excellent death bowling from Jordan and Stokes which was a big positive. The spinners will be better against New Zealand in the semi.

Re: Cricket
Given the fact that it is basically a hit and hope slogfest the spinners hadn't done that badly until today. Morgan had to find four overs from somewhere.
