After 3 months carrying drinks with England even picking a spinner not even in the squad over him, Parkinson has been England's best bowler in both warm up games.

Looking forward to watching him carry drinks again in the first ODI tomorrow...

Whoops! :)

Hopefully he will have a good one.

Tossed that away.

Curran knocks a 2, leaving a run a ball. So why try to clear the boundary the next ball?

Ali too is experienced enough there.

Some confused thinking.

Arrogance really. Curran plays one way and one way only. When in reality Ali should have had a word with him and been the calming Influence

Indeed. Ali always has played like that unfortunately. Can be brilliant, can be shit; doesn't come across as a 'thinker'.

Morgan takes a single instead of going big to get back on strike - run a ball - piece of piss, especially with how Morgan was playing. Then Curran tries to be a hero. Frustrating but reckon you gain experience from these things. 

WTF Denly is doing in this side is beyond me though.

I'd look at the order though because whilst you want Buttler in the game early sometimes you also look down the order and see Stokes coming in late who is a player who often takes a few deliveries to really get going - he's not "whack it round straight away" usually. 

So Buttler who is the best finisher in the sport could be a floating option - Stokes should bat higher and Denly should go.

I'd open with Bairstow and Roy like ODIs.

He should have seen it home, but he'd left 7 from the last over with an experienced batsmen in. No need to force it like they did.

A run a ball and Morgan goes for a six

The defeat is on him, much more than Curran and ali

On the other hand he played brilliantly and got 50 to keep us in it.

Even when he got out we should have seen it home comfortably. So he takes blame but so do the others. Its about learning though.

Yes. Whether it was nerves or Geoff Boycott's "yewbris" who knows, but all of them ought to have been able to work it out.

Unbelievable stuff

Again though, all hard work done, 3 needed from 7, why try hit another 6

But it's a bit shit to find fault with that hitting

And there's something very pleasing about beating SA

They don't take it well

It’s how we play. It’s our one day/T20 brand Morgan has brought. Nearly killed us in the WC but I think it’s just how they are. Unbelievable chase.
