Pleased for Bethell. Excellent knock. Aand there goes Dozy Brook. They need to take that captaincy off him sharpish - another great player who can’t seem to cope if made captain
As bad as his Headingley runout. Don't know what he's thinking sometimes. Bethell had a brilliant knock before he got old manned by the number 1 ranked ODI bowler in the world.
Root though. 90 off 86 chance less and only including 6 boundaries. Even after all these years I find it astonishing how easy he makes it look
Exactly, helped Jacob to his first century. Rotates the strike, runs quickly for his batting partner amd takes on whatever role is needed at the crease. Love him!
He’s not a bad lad is he. I hope he doesn’t think of retiring soon. I think Cook packed in test cricket when he was younger than Root is now.
Great batting England. Shame we have to wait until the third game to see it. 414-5 is a winning score. Maybe
We are literally mirroring Australia in their recent series with SA. Lose the series looking 2nd best then murder them in the last match. I think this performance has been coming for a while though
