Yup England are the favourites. Betting is fairly close though between us Australia and South Africa.

South Africa always go in amongst the favourites and always let their fans down. Don't see any reason for this to change this time?

Right. What have we learnt?

A team we thought was good convincingly beat a team we knew was bad.

Still, at least it was a nice day for it?

Feel sorry for the paying public, robbed of a decent game of cricket. Not the greatest advert for cricket - Bristol don't get many games of cricket

dont think we have learnt much to be honest. good to see bairstow get a game, Wood hopefully has no reaction and carries on(that's a massive plus)

Hales got us off to a good start as he has done in the past.

apart from that....dunno. The crowd only got half a game

Bit disappointing that, heart sunk when we got to the ground to find Ireland chose to bat!

At 2/80 i thought Ireland were looking pretty good,
Rashid bowled well, looked like they had zero plan or idea to pick him
Amazing no one can pick him with a white ball, stick a red ball in his hand and he is fodder

I think there is a big difference between formats - in Test cricket, batsmen can pat away 2-3 good voers knowing that sooner or later some absolute dross will come along.  In the shorter forms, they have to go looking for 7 an over and errors creep in - even the absolute dross balls have potential to take wickets because batsmen try and put too much pace on to muscle them for sixes and end up caught in the deep.

Looked fairly easy in first spell tbh, Joyce played him well too. Second spell when he banged a few in looked a bit tasty. Edit - Tom beat me to it! Was quite impressed with Chase for Ireland, looked a bit of a prospect!

What bat is Hales using?
Stickers aren't the normal Halestorm
I noticed that as well, looked more like the Aussie stickers, also had a dark grip on it as well.

Any high res shots?

Odd one that to say they launched a £400+ bat a couple of months ago with his name on.
He just uses whatever he is sent I suppose

Fun fact: Joe Root now has best bowling figures of 2/9 across all formats. If you don't believe he's the greatest off spinner of all time, you are fake news.
