The International Cricket Thread 2018

Got a bit twitchy when Finch went after Ali but it was always only an outside chance and once he went it was game over.  Fair play to him though, proper captains effort but was badly let down by the middle order.

Fantastic atmosphere at Edgbaston tonight, our record against the Aussies there is now quite good.

I’m slightly biased but I’m certain that the players love playing there so it should be an automatic selection for tests and white ball Cricket.

I'm a bit more than slightly biased, but I was thinking last night as I was sat at Edgbaston and the big screens continually flashed up people of all ages really enjoying themselves, that it has become the second home of English cricket and certainly more of a 'people's' venue than Lord's.

Not a big enough score from England tonight, great batting from Buttler and great bowling from Yadav.

[PaulWinch again]

Really poor display beyond Buttler and Willey.

Really poor display beyond Buttler and Willey.

Our problems against quality spin were exposed again on a surface that really suited the Indians.

Looks like the surfaces may suit them in the test series as well.

[paul_e]

That run out is bizarre.

[Villafirst]

Rubbish last over from Jake Ball....Useless!

[paul_e]

frustrating from Buttler, he's better than that but I do wonder in the ball is holding up in the pitch a little, the Indians seemed to be early on a fair few as well.

[PaulWinch again]

Excellent from Hales, Willey and Plunkett today.

[Dave Cooper please]

Plunkett and Willey both going for less that 5 an over is superb in T20 cricket.

[PaulWinch again]

Willey has added something to his bowling lately.

[paul_e]

Good start from Buttler here but Roy is looking a little out of touch, hasn't quite got his eye in here.

[PaulWinch again]

Root being dropped is probably an indication his form needs to pick up.
