Quick thread for the Eng SA odi series.
Should be fun.
JJ Roy needs runs.
I am keen to see how Harry Brook goes as he may take Roy's place at the top of the order.
Also Jofra will play 2 of the games.
As for SA, they are a mess batting wise and don't even have a coach.
Bowling is good though.
Pitches will be roads...

Looks like Roy, Malan, Duckett, Brook, Buttler, Ali, Curran, Willey, Rashid, Archer, Stone for England today.
Expect all 14 players to feature across the 3-match series
-
From what I’ve seen of Roy last summer in the Hundred, recent franchise games etc I just can’t see how he can be in the team!
Im a big fan of his, but there is clearly a total lack of form and confidence, he even finds weird ways to get himself out when he does make a start.
And there are so many other players/options right now!
-
Could really do with the SA bats getting some runs.
-
Roy selection is absolutely beyond me, Jacks has been so good and adds an option with the ball.

Roy deserves the chance to regain form, even though he's astonishingly out of nick. Plus realistically Malan is probably looking in pole position to open with Bairstow with Root obviously coming back at 3. Jacks will get a go in the summer you'd imagine, could be competing with Dawson or even Rehan for the backup spinner spot at the WC.
-
How many chances are they going to give him though? He's been in shocking nick for a long, long time now.
-
They won't be able to pick test players for the Bangladesh series, so 6 lol. Can't blame England for wanting him to come back into form, he was arguably the most important batsman for England in the last WC campaign.
Not sure SA have anything like enough here...
-
I can understand why you'd want to give him time when you know what he's capable of when in form.
Just think they're maybe missing a trick not selecting a player in Jacks who looks like he's capable of the same super-fast starts and big aggressive innings, but is in great form and would benefit from the experience.
-
I'm going to start questioning more players' selection 😂 reverse jinx in full effect today!
-
Another CBF selector falls by the wayside.
-
Maybe Jacks would have scored a match winning 150 in Roy's place 😂 joys of speculating on hypotheticals.
-
Brook is so bloody good.
-
Great to see Mo get some runs again as well.
-
Sam Curran is so much fun, properly entertaining cricketer.
-
What an incredible batting performance by the South African side. Skipper's knock was phenomenal.

Absolutely, good to see Bavuma back among the runs after what must have been an absolutely torrid state to be in. Well played SA
-
Jeeeesus, that's painful from Duckett. Cracking player but I'm not convinced this is his format. Sam Hain crying out for a debut for years now...
-
Proper old school grind this is.
Also the Saffas have the slowist over rate ever.
-
If the commentary is right that one of the SA fielders has been shouting "no" when the English batters hit the ball then that should be a fine at minimum. No different to fake fielding, it's cheating.

It is covered under the same law as fake fielding - dead ball, any runs completed or started count and 5 penalty runs to the batting side, offending player reported.
Malan is a gun, looks like he's forcing himself into the ODI side next.
-
Disappointing if umpires haven't caught something then.
Does Malan displace Roy if Bairstow is back and fit? I can't see them dropping Root at 3 and Bairstow was in such absurd form with the bat before getting injured.
-
Unbelievable from Buttler and Malan to put on 230odd. Some comeback from 14-3.
-
Jofra easing back in and building up speeds nicely. Let’s hope that continues and he can stay fit for a good while

Easing back in with a 6fer, can think of worse ways to get back into the groove!

That'd be interesting - Malan, Bairstow, Root, Brook....is that not just the Yorkshire side?

More likely to play golf than for Yorkshire these days.
