Napier goes down on my list as one of the best players never to play an international game.
I would have thought he would have at least been given a crack leading upto the world cup. He bowls 90mph with control at the death and hits the ball long lower down the order, definitely not the type of player England would need in OZ ???

Cook and Hales having a good start here.

Edit : Flip sake, I'm sorry Hales...

When you're 6ft 6/7 you have to wonder why Hales is obsessed with the sweep shot. When one big stride will pretty much make most deliveries into a half volley.

2 innings, 2 sweep shot dismissals.
What's the lesson here Alex??

Still an average of 41 isn't too bad!  ;)

I dont think Cook should be in this England ODI team

Wheres the progression in his game?

Also I disagree with Nick Knight, high 70s is NOT a good strike rate for a top order batsman in ODIs in this era

Ravindra Jadeja has it on England in ODI cricket.

They are mesmerised by him.

England getting blown away(if you can by medium pacers) at Birmingham.

23-3

Hales can't score unless ever balls is an off stump half volley.
Cook once again out in the slips
Ballance out to leading edge, caught cover.

This is embarrassing.

Hales got the best ball so far I think.

Totally disagree.

Hales stands on leg pole, but can't score on the leg side. So he's a sitting duck to in swinging deliveries.

Takes a lot of half volleys to score 99 and 100+ in a T20 along with being a top 3 batsman.

You have become boring now.
