But that doesn’t allow us to make innuendos regarding the selections

We can still make innuendos such as:

Not surprised that they have chosen those options.
We all know it would take 2 Balls to match Willey!!

Typical Woakes, he'll have been delighted to be in early - great chance to boost his average. Probably only got out so that now he actually has an average for the series.

So, if it was a WC... this would be England out ?

It seems this team really can’t play unless it’s a pancake. Englsnd curators better prepare pancakes for the WC or we are done for.

Top stuff by woakes (didn’t realise he also avg 45 in tests in England) but root and Bairstow need to do better as they are the only bats equipped for non pancakes and they gave it away.

Still... Aus are quite capable of collapsing too so live in hope

not totally sure but the champions trophy here last year pitches were overseen by the ICC, so that means the ECB can't deceide what pitches are like. we were knocked out on a worn pitch against Pakistan which was low and slow.

Pretty sure the WC next year will be the same. So England cannot prepare pitches to suit themselves.

Which begs the question if the WC was in Bangladesh, would we be playing on 'home' pitches or tracks to accomodate England/New Zealand/Ireland etc

Stand to be corrected but the ICC champions trophy our groundsmen were told what to prepare.

Quite - I yearn for the days we were capable of crawling to 220-4 on all surfaces

Hales, Roy and Buttler out for Cook, Atherton and Boycott

Agreed this is a team playing without fear of getting out and as a result have improved beyond recognition.  God forbid we go back to the way we played a couple of years ago.

is that really the case, or is it just when your top orders gameplan is to attack and keep attacking regardless that occasionally you're going to get knocked over pretty cheaply.

The brummie Botham ? a couple of decent ODI knocks  and the forum favourite  batting is more Don Bradman

Stand to be corrected but the ICC champions trophy our groundsmen were told what to prepare.

No correction necessary, for this is exactly accurate.  From what I recall, in the CT the instruction was to use two wickets that were as near as possible dead centre at each ground and let them mature (ie deteriorate) through the tournament, with only the final to be played on a fresh deck.
