Woakes having yet another shocker by playing a massive part in winning the game. He really is rubbish at this, selfishly getting wickets and runs to improve his average.

That unbeaten 50 at a strike rate of 140 in the first innings, he was only playing for his average!

Don't forget wickets at the death don't count because the batsmen have to play stupid shots when they need 23 off an over...

Do you not think his part in the partnership with buttler allowed them to force the Aussies into a corner?

Don't think you can underestimate how good Morgan's captaincy was in that game. One of your main bowlers down after only going in with 3 seamers and 5 main bowlers in the 1st place.

It is quite enjoyable watching Australia try and go about ODI batting the same way England were doing in about 2013. At least we used to win at home! :D

Better strike rate than Steve Smith who is 2nd only to Bradman according to the Australian press

To keep up with England at the death was an unrealistic demand with the players Australia have. They lost the game in the middle overs when Smith and Marsh were content taking the spinners for 5s without any intent to score boundaries

Smith showed our Lads up in the ashes. The fact he’s not a hitter like we have jut shows he’s not as good at white ball. To start crowing at Smith when he’s just torn us apart is a bit rich. After all, this isn’t test cricket so the fact they’ve lost a few one dayers won’t bother them overly

This is one day cricket - Test cricket is irrelevant. Theres a thread for the Test series if you want discuss that I will be more than happy to agree that Smith is a brilliant test player

Stop beating the same very dull drum

I think   batting and bowling well in a couple of ODIs doesn't make you a test match player.

Again - two very different formats. Even you must find it hard to deny that Woakes is a very good ODI player for England?

Don’t slate someone who has just torn England apart then. It’s also very dull when suddenly every white ball hitter is apparently test class after a random innings.

It is a totally different format with completely different skill sets. Smith as a one day player is a different beast to smith the test player. Same as the rest of both sides

I haven't 'slated' anyone. I commentated that in this game his strike rate was lower than Tim Paines - which is correct. If you watch the post-match interview Smith himself said that it was good for the team that the umpires gave him out because he was slowing the team down. Not sure why you feel the need to fight his corner

And he hasn't torn England apart in this one day series (thread title) he's been fairly average throughout
