Why bother with carbs? He's proven he's not up to international...

who has Hales upset?

I don't understand why he isn't being picked.

Would like to have seen him given a good run where he knew his place was secure. We might have seen the best of him then, but I fear he won't get another chance.

Hales just seems to be focused on by a T20 batsmen by the selectors which I guess is understandable by the fact his record isn't that great for OD's, however I feel he's certainly worth a shot to see if he can do it. Morgan at 3 sounds the best option to me, he did it for Middlesex and went big in the T20 and he seems a very versatile player who could just slot in there, also allows Ballance to bat further down the order like he would for Yorkshire. I still think Vince would be a good bet this season .

Carberry I think needs a bit more time back in county cricket to regain the form he had last season however unfortunately I can't see a space being left for him once he's regained it.

Why on earth did tredwell run butler out? 9 from two was still ont  he cards for a win from a guy on 121!

Baffling.

^ Tredwell should have sacrificed his wicket and ran back to the danger end to save Butler, I remember Kulasekara did the same when he and Sangakkara were batting in champions trophy last year against England.

How can Jos be MoM. Bizzarreeee...

because without his innings the game would have been massively one sided, he made a game of the chase.

Because he was the best player on the day!
Without his knock the game would have been over much quicker and a lot of people left disappointed.
MoM doesn't always have to be on the winning team...

What if Sanga hadn't played that inning, wouldnt that have been a quick win for England and a one sided affair and left people disappointed and ....
Whose batting was more elegant and class? Didnt he entertain enough?
SL had lost an early wicket when he came in and playing in English conditions...
That was classic knock by the veteran.... More inspirational and technical for those young kids and grown ups watching...
So many reasons to argue.

Anyways... I didnt make that comment because I think MoM should be always from winning team only! That was critical, classic inning at tough time in different conditions which built a platform for a defendable target and an exciting game of cricket. Without which it would not have been fun...

I could take 10 wickets and score 100+ but still be on the losing side. Would be unfair to say I cannot be man of the match just because my team didn't win.

I think we can argue if sanga failed then there was a chance of some other top order batsman to get settled and get SL to a decent score, if butler failed then ENG didn't have any batters left so it would have been a one sided affair, it was a breath taking innings against the odds from Butler so he deserved it.

Thanks to the others who saw sense, I can't be bothered trying to explain the obvious tonight!
