With all his variations left arm  and into the surface slower bowl he's the death bowler England have been looking for.

He does bowl some good slowies but not sure he's quite got the ambidextrous changeup! I worry he's a little Chris Jordan - yes he usually does a good job at the death, but you can't hold down a place just for those 5 overs, you need to offer more than that. Given he bowls 75%+ of his overs at the death I don't think run a ball is too bad an economy rate mind. Call me crazy but if we want a medium pace slower ball merchant I'd pick Benny Howell instead! More realistically it's Willey's spot.

He reminds me enormously of Dernbach.

[Novak]

Errrm Roy Yorker himself

Good delivery but he seemed to York himself ...

[Mister Le Chiffre]

4-3 Roy 4 Hales 0 Buttler 0. Little bit of swing and we can't cope

Oh dear...

Let's hope he doesn't get any dreadful tattoos like Dernbach...

For anyone watching is Stokes still using his Zelos, or the new Diamond range?

[Novak]

Really good bowling by Sri Lankan's plus
If England win from here they would be just unreal

Very unlikely though

Zelos.

[Novak]

Getting some close ups of the stokes profile from tV and comparing it to the diamond would be intersting

It looks a massive bat he has but I think looks a shorter blade

Can't be 100 %

Thankfully neither Sam or Tom Curran are actually much like Jade Dernbach at all.

Tom seems to be trying to match JD's economy rate anyway.

I think your right re willey he would have played during this series if his arm wasn't injured
Willey and Curran  England's  left arm World Cup death bowlers.

a potential test batsman to me.

I know many people love ODI but with those three.. is it any surprise they can't cope with any movement?
