I am currently unable to watch the latest England batting collapse some may say luckily.

But my question is has any England player managed to bat the whole 20 overs and build an innings as yes smashing boundaries is fun and all, but surely having a platform and someone to hang around and accumulate runs is better no.

So theres the question all replies welcome

didnt hales or wright hit 99 not out in one. cant remember if they were setting or chasing but batted for a reasonable amount of overs.

i think we just need to be slightly more responsible and learn to run!

Yes both hales and wright have scores 99 for England. Believe wright was not out

In the game that Aaron Finch got 150 odd I am sure one of the English players batted for a long time...

Both have hit a 99 I believe.

Google tells me Root got 90 not out batting at 5 but was in early (Hales 8, Wright 4, Morgan 0)

England look in disarray,


Not sure why. Maybe it's the mood of the camp has effected the ones that have come in.


Luke wright 3rd highest scorer in big bash.
Lumb 10th highest scorer in big bash
Hales 13th highest scorer, 5th best strike rate of big bash.

That was against the same bowlers in the aus line up, yet neither has looked like getting out of the teens, and getting there has been lucky.


I think England just need this tour to be over and quick.

For 50odd balls wasnt it? That innings would have been classed as one of the greats if it wasn't for finch getting 150



Buttler gone.

Yeah I know both scored 99 just one was not out so presumed he may have batted ur whole innings

[Cedrictoad]

Root's innings was off 49 balls and from memory was a better display of hitting than either of the 99's.

Dear Mr Broad, stand in line you are embarrassing yourself.

[Manormanic]

Root's innings was more inventive and against a better attack - Hales hit a Windies side full of B players and I think Wright's was against Bagladesh...

[Rob580]

Think Wright's was against Afghanistan?

Broady would be alright if he wasn't batting from square leg....

Anyone think root should move up to 3? So if we lose a quick wicket we can settle in I stead of another hitter coming in and risking losing 2 or 3 quick wickets as we have been doing?

Didnt Kieswetter or Pieterson bat all the way through the final of the World T20 when we won???
