I must admit I'm not a huge fan of Broad playing for Nottinghamshire yesterday, after he was supposedly resting during the ODI's

I don't think he was rested, I thought he just wasn't picked.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm really surprised that Willey isn't being given a chance. He's done really well when he's played so far and he offers a different angle.

[PaulWinch again]

Hales is probably playing his way out of a chance of the winter tours at the moment.

[adrenachrome]

Some serious spin for Agar.

Good 50 for Roy.

[PaulWinch again]

I do think Ali shouldn't be pigeonholed as a lower order batsman. He's a quality player and should be higher up.

[Villan For Life]

Roy's innings gave us an excellent platform on which to build a decent total. What we really need is our one day players to start turning these good starts into match-winning scores. Too many of our guys get themselves in and dominate for 50 or 60 runs and then get out.

[Villan For Life]

Hales is probably playing his way out of a chance of the winter tours at the moment.

Amazing to consider that fairly recently people were calling for his selection in the test side at the expense of Lyth.

[PaulWinch again]

Well played Taylor, but we've completely lost our way since Morgan got out.

[PaulWinch again]

We scored about 110 off the last 20 overs, which is below par. The middle order need to improve. Hopefully we'll bowl well.

[PaulWinch again]

I think they should look at Taylor for number 5 in the Test team.

[cheltenhamlion]

Agreed. 25 short for par I reckon as well.

[PaulWinch again]

Spin is going to be critical here. I'm not sure on Woakes, Finn and Plunkett as a ODI seam attack, it lacks variation. I think I'd have Willey or Topley in.

[PaulWinch again]

All summer our bowling attack has struggled to take wickets in ODIs.

[spangley1812]

Great catch by Finn and Rashid is bowling well

[PaulWinch again]

Terrific bowling in the middle overs particularly by the spinners. I hope Taylor gets the recognition he deserves.
