Pakistan v England, limited overs matches. UAE, 2015.

[ianp1970]

All of England's top six have an ODI ton to their name. Wonder if that has ever happened before.

7th position has two tons as well.

True, I wonder if any team playing ODI cricket at the moment can say the same?

Quite a few at at a guess.

South Africa, India and New Zealand almost certainly with West Indies a strong possibility.

Virat himself has 23 tons and 34 fifty's in 158 innings. England top 7 cumulative ( Jason, Alex, Joe, Jos, Morgan, Taylor, Moeen) have 22 tons and 62 fifty's in 354 innings.

ABD himself has 23 tons and 47 fifty's in 187 innings. England top 7 cumulative ( Jason, Alex, Joe, Jos, Morgan, Taylor, Moeen) have 22 tons and 62 fifty's in 354 innings.

England are playing good cricket in this ODI series, but to compare them with top ranked teams like Australia, India, South Africa is too much. One top player each of India and South Africa are far ahead of England 's 7 players put together. It shows in team rankings as well

Their number sevens Behardien, Jadeja/Axar, Santner don't have hundreds.

there you go

that'll do it

comfortable win

is that the series finished?

ODIs yes. 3 T20is to come.

[ianp1970]

Was thinking Miller, Dhoni and Ronchi.

Admittedly not all true 7's, but could be picked there in teams that have top sixes boasting a centurion in each position.

"I was there just to make room for Jos" - Jason Roy.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good effort by the England bowlers to take wickets in the middle period in this series, to draw the batting venom before the death overs.

Only Rashid went at over five an over.

Woakes took eight wickets, and Willey was useful in picking up scalps too.

[The Professor]

Buttler will get the headlines but also big contributions from Roy, Root,Hales, Willey, Ali and Rashid

Getting ex tied for the T20 World Cup if we produce this kind of form.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like the T20 side is the same as the 50 over side, except for Taylor.

Finn and Wood to come back later, of course, in both sides.

Clamour building towards declaring the third ODI dodgy.

There's no investigation. Daily Mail's betting guy said it was fixed but that's probably just because all his betting tips lost.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Apparently there was a discussion on tms during the break about it. It's been investigated by the ICC (according to the DM! who are claiming the ICC have registered suspicious betting) though the ICC has declined to affirm or deny, and Waqar has rebutted Vaughan's allegations, and the PCB have complained about them.

Unfair to compare the World's best limited overs batsmen to six England batsmen who have made their ODI debuts between 6 months and 4 years ago.

Time will tell but the current England ODI batting line up have an enormous amount of potential to achieve what AB and Kohli have done, maybe more.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not saying there was anything in it, just registering the clamour.
