Brutal from Morgan... not much else to say...

England's approach with the bat is quite a spectacle

 

[TheParraboy]

what over rated hacks, couldn't crack 400...

I fear Mick Lewis' record is never going to get cracked.

The great Mick Lewis, regarding his 0/113

“I bowled six perfect yorkers in my final over, but still went for 17. If any of those inside edges or french cuts went an inch this way or that, Boucher would have been bowled or caught by Gilly,” he says.

So it was only his final over that was the problem ?

Nah, as Mick said it was perfect...

Thankfully Rashid Khan was spared the last over, even if perfect he would likely have had 0/127
