Mark Wood & Sam Curran getting pumped...

#BringBackWoakes

plunkett tends to bowl well at the death but that's no good if the oppo are 300 plus.

I think Plunkett is the quickest we have at the moment. he also looks like he would swing first and ask questions later

Plukett is one of the most improved England bowlers thanks mainly to Jason Gillespie at Yorkshire  who told him to concentrate on bowling fast
 Otherwise Listening to coaches filling his head he could have ended up like Steven Finn.

Yeah, you wouldn't want anyone going the way of Steven Penn...

Looking like a major error playing 4 seamers and only 2 spinners here.

Beginning to turn square with that wicket - 280 might be a decent score

5 seamers! Plunks, Curran x 2, Stokes and Wood!
We already know T.Curran is a quaity bowler, so pointless playing him too as he already deserves to be in the squad!!
So another brainless decision - I would have preferred to see Denly instead which would have given stronger batting line-up and an extra option on a turning wicket!
Plus it would have given Denly a game.....
If the series is already won, why wouldn't you!!

Stokes getting frustrated   with his teammates fielding and letting them know.

Controversial question time:
Is Tom Curran actually that good a bowler?

For every decent performance he puts in, he'll get pumped round. His career economy in ODIs has been hovering around/just above a run a ball since he made his debut.

Yes, he takes poles but they come at a cost some games.

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

Tom is the right arm bowler , Sam is the left arm one who is a much better batsman....

both highly rated but Sam looks like a potential test batsman to me. reminds me a little of Thorpe who has helped him at Surrey

Tom Curran is your typical flash in the pan bowler. You see it all the time with these bowlers that rely plainly on change off pace getting exposed. Dernbach and Tye have showed continual slower balls gets exposed very quickly. Curran shouldn't be in the squad
