Hope they pick Sibley,Burns is as bad as Jennings.

Jack Leach is the premier opening batsman. Brian Lara's 400 is under threat.

Roy hits 50. Good stuff.

Looks like England have found a solid opener in Leach

Looks like England have found a solid opener in Leach

And a solid number 3 in Roy.

If only English batsmen showed as much care and grit for their wickets like their bowlers do!

I might be an England fan, but as a cricket fan I'd love Ireland to pull this off.

England win by 143 runs. What a terrific comeback for England! Gutted not being able to what the match! England save me some Vcash once again

 

[Yorkshireman]

Never in doubt.

I disagree, if anything they need a separate coach for red ball cricket as their ODI mentality seems to be seeping through here. Modern ODIs are quite different from tests and require more varied skills in the first place.

England’s problems are largely self inflicted, it took years of 1000+ runs from Burns before he got a spot in the side and that was because an underperforming Cook finally decided to retire. Any other team would have also played someone like Hildreth who has been bossing it in county cricket for years now, but he is overlooked because of his age. Foakes is another player that has been unfairly shafted, he is the best gloveman in the country and is still not sure of his spot because one of England’s better batsman throws a fit when he doesn’t get to keep because his father was a keeper too.

Fair points, who is the batsmen you speak of? Bairstow?
