That YJB dismissal just sums up the entire series for England IMO.

Such promise and then throw it all away softly.

Excellent knock from Moeen

He's been dropped enroute to all 5 of his Test hundreds, so hardly a glowing endorsement. Not good enough for international cricket.

Im sure plenty of batsman have been dropped

Difference is moeen is neither a batsman nor a bowler.

I saw the cricket from 5am this morning just after Moeen came in and he looked like he'd struggle to get 10 let alone a ton

True. He's a bloody hero.

Quota selection not a true international cricketer

True, he only averages 47.5 with the bat this year and has scored 4 tons.

I wish our batsmen could do that, let alone our make up the number players.....

is 1000 runs in a calendar an achievement any more given how many test matches england play? nearly double compared to other nations

All good points.. I tend to agree with the make-up of the side for next few one day series, however IMHO Woakes, Jordan, Finn, Plunkett and Willey don't have enough variation's in their death bowling..
Many games are won and lost on last 10 overs. That's another reason why I would take Morgan out of the equation. Not playing enough cricket and his choice of death bowlers is usually shocking..

Get big Fletch in if you want a death bowler!

Moeen's stats are pretty irrelevant. Normally hides at number 7. In this series the only times he scored big runs was on the two flat roads in Rajkot and Madras.
