FFS when will we learn to bowl at the death? Far too many runs conceded off the last 10 overs.

An unusual hat trick from Finn in the last over but we threw it away with some aŵful bowling.

[PaulWinch again]

Our death bowling is fucking atrocious.

[passitsideways]

Extremely shit death bowling by England really. Good batting obviously but back of a length stuff is pretty much the easiest to hit on Australia pitches.

[PaulWinch again]

We really need to look at the last 10 overs because it simply isn't good enough.

[PaulWinch again]

Well assuming we lose this NZ is going to be a very tough second game.

[PaulWinch again]

Bad choice Moeen. So Taylor has been doing very well at 3 and for the first World Cup game we drop him down to 6, good decision.

[OzVilla]

It is a good call.

Get a proper no3 in there in Ballance and play Taylor at 6 for  Bopara.  No problem with that.

[PaulWinch again]

Doesn't look like a good call to me. Ballance had had hardly any cricket and Taylor was doing well at 3. Now we're really staring down the barrel.

[OzVilla]

Rather have Taylor down the order than Bopara.

Ballance plays every time at 3, he's more than earned that right.

[OzVilla]

Bell gone. This could be a big, big defeat coming up.

[PaulWinch again]

He hasn't earned that right in ODIs and he's completely undercooked. We're in for an absolute hammering here.

[Villan For Life]

2 in 2.....

[PaulWinch again]

Root gone, fucking pathetic.

[PaulWinch again]

Getting bowled out by Mitchell Marsh is unforgivable.

[OzVilla]

Well Ballance averages over 50 in first class cricket and 60 in Tests. When Taylor is in that league come back to me.

Ballance is the long term no3 and that's where he should bat when he plays IMO. The selectors seem to feel the same.

Anyway, let's see what Sachin Taylor can do.
