Van Beek ruining it. Still, it means Australia will be on the receiving end of the highest ODI score, which is always good. THE WORST OF ALL WORLDS 😫

Not that it would have made a difference but the Dutch should feel hard done by with the number of county players who haven't been released for this series (when theoretically they should be). Would have improved their bowling attack a fair bit.

"Tough out there lads" This England team is silly. Very silly. Honestly think if you let them enter three teams they might all make the semis at a 50 over WC if it was all played on flat pitches.

Quite handy that Buttler Chap, wonder if he could add something to the test team?

It will be interesting to see what happens with Morgan if his awful run of form continues. Obviously he will want to stay as captain until the World Cup, but there are too many quality batters waiting in the wings.

Similar position to Finch, right? Captains out of form are a problem when you have plenty of depth.

So I've been thinking... Is Eoin Morgan England's most important ever white ball player?
I think Buttler is probably better (and certainly will be by the end of his career) but don't think anyone has changed the game quite like Eoin. Maybe, just maybe the most impactful white ball player ever? Bigger call that one.
It's genuinely mad that before Morgan, the England white ball captain was Alistair Cook and the top three were Cook, Trott and Bell. unthinkable.

Unless you include Brendon McCullum, absolutely.

It's genuinely mad that before Morgan, the England white ball captain was Alistair Cook and the top three were Cook, Trott and Bell. unthinkable. Without a shadow of a doubt. That team also had a bowling attack of Finn, Anderson and broad....absolutely archaic at the time. That loss to NZ.....we need to remind ourselves of how humiliating it was from time to time....since then a wc win and endless records shattered.

Don't want to jinx Eoin's country of origin, but... could they?
EDIT: No they could not. Gutted.

Ben Stokes going full ECB and sacking off 50-over cricket altogether.
