Just turned this on to watch and not sure i have ever seen two international bowlers in Woakes and Ali look so poor, that could be harsh but in the 20 mins iv watched must have seen 15 6’s and Ali looking like a club 2nd team bowler
And that, my friends, may be the worst fivefer of all time...
That’s Rashid in a nutshell my friend
Rashid in nutshell? You mean match winner and maybe Englands best ODI bowler over the let few years? Everyone went round the park, so fair play to him for stepping up to the plate when the game was in the balance . Takes some guts that.
Plunkett 8-0-40-0Wood 10-0-60-4That's why we won the match. The only two bowlers not to get destroyed. Rashid gets a few cheap wickets against lower order/tailenders. That's his level. Without Wood and Plunkett we've have lost.

Would be interesting to know how many of those bowling performances ended up on the winning side.All said and done. That final over was just brilliant. To have the guts to toss it up in the 49th over and back yourself deserve appreciation.
