First game is this afternoon.
Worth having a thread for this series.
Very disappointed that Hain hadn't been picked but a great opportunity for those picked who aren't first choice with 6 of the regular team in the test bubble.
I really want to see Banton do well. I suspect he will be given a slot at 5 or 6.
More opportunities for Vince at 3. Urgh.
-
This has the potential to be very one sided.
-
Agree on Vince, he's had his chance in ODIs. I wouldn't mind seeing him in T20s though given his knack of hitting very quick and very pretty 30 odds.
Hain missing out is a huge disappointment and IMO a big oversight. Root has shown there's definitely a place for that type of player and Hain's record is phenomenal.
Hoping Banton goes well though, he has a bit of that KP arrogance on the field, just an outrageous natural talent.

Tbf to Vince he has only played 11 ODI innings, with 5 of them being in 2015/16. He had a very good one day campaign for Hants averaging 73 with a 110 s/r so he deserves to be there in my opinion.
I would have liked to see Hain there as well but it's hard to see where he would fit in. Probably in place of Denly or Dawson but they both provide another bowling option.
Isn't it nice to have such depth in our ODI squad though!? As mentioned in another thread, we could field a B team that would do well against most teams.
-
Interested to see where this squad goes in temrs of evolution; batting depth is there for sure. Excited to see Banton given a good run, but would have liked one of the other lads to get a go over Denly
-
I don’t particularly rate Billings - hope he hits some runs in this series.
-
Well, that's a good start
-
The more I see of Mahmood the more I question what the selectors see in him...
Edit: 14.28
You're welcome!

I don't think I have seen anyone hold the bat that high up the handle as Delaney...... or is it just the camera angles?

More MLB than cricket but he gives it a decent whack

Men against boys

Apple crumble

No mercy
-
Gutted we didn't choose to bat, as I could see this coming! :(
-
Iteland do have good days and are often dangerous when their batting comes off.
Today doesn't look like a good day though!!
-
Pretty poor this from Ireland brain dead cricket from some of them, good bowling from Willey but some very avg batting at international level and shows that they are some way off joining the mainstream elite of international cricket.
-
Get the impression that Willey is out to prove a point? ;)
-
Been out and about today and only just turned on! What the hell!
-
A bit disappointing to put it mildly. Nice day, flat pitch, where you are clearly the stronger side, should’ve batted first.

Think Morgan just thought.... bowl them out, get on the beers early.... we've all done it :D :D

Get a victory in first up to avoid any series upsets and then can have some fun after that I guess.
-
It's never over until both sides have batted chaps - there may still be a few twist and turns!
-
A nice little repair job going on here by the Irish - as per KO'B at the centre of it
Is it me or has YJB keeping gone downhill a little? Shelled a couple of regulation takes and never read Rash' googly, Jos' keeping seems way ahead of his at present
-
To be fair, Jos is in the "Test team bubble" so there isn't that option there.
Looking forward to seeing the highligts although I'm guessing that they wouldn't show any poor glovework!

I’m aware Jos is in the Test team bubble and unable to play here was just making an observation after seeing both keep, albeit in differing formats
-
That was village
-
Great review that
-
Another failure for YJB 🙈🙈 certainly didn’t look his usual self there
-
James Vince...a frustrating player so far..he’s got all the shots
I’d like to see a healthy contribution - loads of time to play himself in
-
James Vince hits a pretty 25 and snicks off
Who saw that coming?! :o
-
Typical Vince !!!
-
James Vince 101
-
A glorious 20 odd. Glorious.
-
Having said Billings has not convinced, the lad has been really solid today.
-
Very good innings
-

Very good player think we spend so much time on the world class players like Root, Stokes, Williamson, Kohli etc we forget or bypass the very good players of which i personally think he is. His glove work when ever Iv seen him for Kent or very occasionally for England is always very tidy and is a modern 360 degree player.
YJB really does seem to have had a torrid time with the bat since the World Cup last year
-
Nice for Billings to have a chance to bat some time rather than have to biff it at the end. His technique looks very tidy to me, seems quite Kohli-esque
-
Billings did play well, I suppose we are building somewhat to 2023- don’t think Morgan have committed to that maybe not all the current players would play in 3 years time.
It’s solely in India as well which will be very tough to win for a team outside of the sub continent
You would think whoever plays spin well would have a good chance

Could make sense as Billings has played in a lot of IPL games so knows the country and conditions well
-
IMO Billings is a fantastic limited overs batsman, his list a record is up there with pretty much anyone else - averages almost 45 with a strike rate over 105.
Billings is just unfortunate that England has plenty of middle order batsmen ahead of him.
-
JAMES VINCE DIBBLY DOBBLERS
-
James Vince strikes by banging them in
He is the next Liam Plunkett!
-
Vince isn’t all that bad, against this kind of modest opposition
-
Campher looks a good prospect for the Irish. Very composed for a youngest
-
Again, make an easy score look difficult by throwing it away
-
Irish might fancy their chances tbh. Used pitch might offer their spinners an opportunity
-
Oh my word Jonny
-
Not sure how anyone can not rate Bairstow!
-
Joint Fastest 50 in ODIs for England.
-
Think it’s time to put a line through Vince’s name
-

In white ball cricket there's no argument he's up there with anybody in the world.
-
Imagine getting carted at nearly 10 an over then giving a send off, ah
-
Could get a bit twitchy this...
-
Morgan showing great sportsmanship to make a game off it...
-
Oh Jesus Christ
-
Moeen doing his bit to make it an exciting finish
The length of this tail is suddenly quite scary
-
Moeen’s Batting has diminished greatly

Because the three previous aliases have all been banned! 🤣😂

Hats off to Billings and Willey who have played a bit of a tricky situation pretty well
-
Good knock again from Billings
-
I do love me so Morgs
-
This ought to be the last we see of Vince in an England shirt
-
Great to see Banton showing what he's capable of
-
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
-
Mo is such a confidence player, looks a million dollars when he is on but an absolute bunny when he isn't, there isn't really a middle ground ....
-

According to Rob Key he did change his technique and modelled it on Kohli!
-
Good innings by Morgan and decent showing by Banton. Moeen probably edging towards the exit from international cricket tbh.

There was an interview before the match and that is what Sam said he had done.
-
Willey giving it some welly, if he’s given more opportunities hopefully he can do it against the better sides as well
-

Agreed, waste of a spot.
-
Rapid fire fifty for Willey
-
Think 400+ could’ve been possible today if one other top order batter would’ve gotten in.
-
Eng have enough here, it has also been good time at the crease for the lower order.
Moeen looks a shadow of the player he can be.
-
England will do everything to help Mo get back that is for sure.
I think the one day format is really where he will be.
Good to see a new guy in Banton spend time at the wicket and a superb knock by Morgan.
I actually like Vince a lot, he has all the shots and sublime timing-but no concentration.
He has had quite a few chances now, time for a younger player to compete for a spot-perhaps Banton could do it

Moeen’s Test record is considerably better than his limited overs record.

This is village

I’m sure you are right but....I think Mo has had a tough time in tests and I can’t see a way back there
If we do tour the subcontinent yes with 2 or 3 spinners.
England make a lot of noise they want him back but maybe he does not really fit the team anymore.
Could well be wrong, have been before :)
-
God this is some dire stuff
-
It’s a bit second rate this series
-
Is this Mahmood chap really one of the better prospects? Looks fairly average
-
Good knock by Stirling - maybe Ireland’s best ever ODI batsman
-

Not often you see two tons from Irish players in the same ODI.
-
Might see a third if Balbirnie keeps going.
-
And this is why they didn't take Willey last year
-
I think Sterling done this to us before, or maybe it was O’Brien.
Solid blokes who give it a right bunt.
Well played, top effort this chase
-
Stirlo is a seriously good bat and had he been as driven as Morgs could easily have played for England.
-
Awful drop
This is a shambles
-

Yup, he’s a seriously good cricketer but he probably needs to play as one of 6 bowlers and only bowl with the new nut.
-

Ermmmmm no, I really dont think so
-
If this does turn out to be Vince's last time in an England shirt, he's well and truly justified it today! :(
-
Ermmmmm no, I really dont think so
Have to agree to disagree. When I told people Morgan would play for England I got laughed at too. The guy has just got 142 against England go check out his stats and strike rate in T20s. I'm talking as a T20 player.
A few worse players than Stirling have played for England in my life time.
-
It might be a bit 1990’s but can no one bowl a piggin Yorker!
-
Willey throwing it away
-
Fielding has been pretty abysmal
-
Tector playing a great little cameo at the end here!
-
And KOB
6 off 5 needed
Been a great game even if we have been poor
-
Really bad with trying to nail some of these yorkers
-
Dire from Willey to give away that many runs and poor from Mahmood too.
-
Good publicity for CA - two hundreds from non Asian players
-
Watching these highlights it really shows that England missed someone to anchor their innings.
Root and Stokes both do it well in ODI cricket, not convinced that Banton, Morgan, Vince are capable of it in the same way.
Possibly a poor decision not to bat Billings higher as he has done a good job up the order this series but it makes the decision not to select Hain look very daft. Wouldn't take many injuries and England's ODI side are missing a key component of their success.
-
I really wish they had blooded Hain in this game instead of another go for Vince.
If Vince keeps getting picked, then Ballance should be in the Test side. Ridiculous selection.

THIS!!! We all know Vince is one of those players who is too good for domestic cricket but not good enough for International, he's had countless opportunities but he's hardly covered himself in glory.
Hain, Livingstone and Salt must be looking through Vince's kit bag to find that flash drive with the naughty pictures of the selectors on!
-
As England had already won the series, I really would have loved to have seen Hain and Salt have a blast! Definitely replacing Vince and maybe Roy?
Roy would have been a temporary rest but Vince must surely now be sent back to Hampshire as there are far too many younger players knocking on the door!
I know Vince wouldn't have got near if the missing players (Stokes, Root, etc) had been in the ODI bubble. But surely it's way past time to give others a go?
-
And I was born in Hampshire - but even I am asking why the &@#£ we are still playing Vince?
He is fantastic at County level but has proved to everyone that he is a 15 and out batsman at higher level!
-

Playing him at the expense of Hain is criminal.
Looking into the future, England need to look at who will replace Morgan in the batting order before too long. Similarly, if Root gets injured, who plays his role at 3 in the ODI side? Hain's LA average along should make him the first name on the selector's mind when Morgan eventually packs it in and, shorter term, if Root is injured or unavailable.
-
Must do Hain/Livingstone’s heads in seeing Vince get those 3 games there. Hopefully come the t20 games v Pakistan there’s some fresh names in there and not players that have had countless amount of chances already.
