Gerrumonside ref Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) The rain held off! England bossing this final thanks to the efforts of Rashid really including the key wicket of Barbar. Pakistan 98-4 after 14 overs. England yet to bat.

JonM Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 What is the point of having a B team play three ODIs against Australia this week? Most of the world cup winning squad have been rested, and most of the test squad are in Dubai getting ready to play Pakistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 To answer my own question it seems to be a leftover contractual obligation from Covid, hence England not really bothering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiggins Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Bilateral series in white ball cricket are becoming increasingly irrelevant, with a world cup taking place 3 out of every 4 years. Having a series so soon after a world cup was just awful. Surprised England sent Buttler, Malan, Woakes, Ali and Curran at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bowling is at a level where you might get 4 overs from him in a t20, but not often. And he's playing as the second spinner in a 5 man attack (where the third seamer is the all rounder). Not sure how they think they'll get 20 wickets. Parkinson should be playing if they think they need two spinners and they don't want to pick Rehan Ahmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
