Hoping for more than a bowling-machine smash contest.

Neither of these two teams under any circumstances would ever score 400 against Australia in an ODI no matter how flat the pitch is

These bowlers in this series are donkeys

I can't wait until the ICC changes the rules around ODIs. Its like watching home run derby's at the moment. Very little batting skill really required compared to previous eras. Eoin Morgan hasn't hit one in the middle and has 22 off 29. Outside half of the bat charge down the wicket slogs over cover is repeatedly bringing him 2 or 3. Back in the 80s every single one of them would have been pop up catches to short cover.

 

[African Monkey]

I agree Iafeta especially after watching Sam Billings smack 34 off 14 balls through leading edges and balls almost going for 6 off the toe of the bat.

REALLY hope Boult isn't serious

Kane shows there's a place for "batting", great to see Taylor getting some confidence back too, and a nice debut for Wheeler

Oh man, what is it with Kiwi bowlers being made out of glass

Boult is imo the most important player we've got... period
