Mo never lets us down does he

Can someone check for Moeen's brain please seems to have misplaced it

As in Shai will, rather than West Indies...

by StaggerBreaths 9/8/2017 2:48:33 PM
Hope to bat all day tomorrow?

by StaggerBreaths 9/8/2017 2:48:06 PM
England should declare they have enough

by nickcricket 9/8/2017 2:47:17 PM
Meanwhile I see that TRJ and Moe are doing exactly what's expected of them.

by StaggerBreaths 9/8/2017 2:46:30 PM
That's certainly what Simpson is screaming.

by StaggerBreaths 9/8/2017 2:44:58 PM

I predict a partnership of 25 in 2.2 overs, then one of them will get out in an embarrassingly limp fashion.

by Kieran Layer 9/8/2017 2:38:23 PM
Maybe bowlers push themselves against those players, seeing they are 3 best batters in the side plus Cook

by Lawrence Payne 9/8/2017 2:37:01 PM
TRJ & Ali...Buckle up!

by dez dezzy 9/8/2017 2:36:20 PM
I'd love to see some stats about the beneficiaries of no-ball wickets. I feel like Stokes, Bairstow and Root do fairly well in terms of number of reprieves but this is completely finger in the air kind of stuff!!

by Jessica Lewis 9/8/2017 2:34:07 PM
Stokes bowled twice in same over this time it counts :(

by Lawrence Payne 9/8/2017 2:33:26 PM
Sam Northeast being a one man army once again.

when Stokes grew his hair/beard longer he did remind me of Tormund Giantsbane (Game of Thrones)

by Lawrence Payne 9/8/2017 2:28:08 PM
Maybe one of there Mum's mixed a green jumper in with their kit. Happened to a footie team I played for when I was young. If you can imagine Norwhich City with pale pink socks, you get the idea.

by Haystack_Jnr 9/8/2017 2:26:18 PM
@Haystack_Jnr Its not just you seeing that

by nickcricket 9/8/2017 2:23:56 PM
@Nick - What's worse is that to my eyes (and on my tv) that cream is flirting dangerously with pale lemon.

Not sure if the ginger hair highlights it, but that White jumper/cream polo look is vomit inducing

@dezdezzy Struggled to find a role in the side, WI could afford him and Holder in that not really a batsmen not really a bowler role

by nickcricket 9/8/2017 2:08:25 PM
he had a lot of haters after the WT20... He's proved them totally wrong. And where is Brathwaite?

by dez dezzy 9/8/2017 2:07:04 PM
Well done Northants!

YEEEEEESSSSSS

by Dave Knibb 9/8/2017 2:04:32 PM
What I like about Stokes is that both his batting and bowling averages are better away from home. Not home bullying here.

by Matt Warwick 9/8/2017 2:04:32 PM
