Champions Trophy, Group 'A', June 1-10

Plunkett has flora hands.

didn't he also take a couple of decent - and important - catches that helped set the Aus rot?

Nasser fairly critical of the aussies having Henriques at #4, something i completely agree with

i know hes not played many games but how can you have a guy in that position with a high score of just 18 in ODis, not like his domestic list A record is that impressive either

it looks like they took a punt on him based on BBL & IPL form and not sure thats a great idea

What does Roy have to do to get dropped?

What does Roy have to do to get dropped?

cant really criticise his form today, he wasn't in long enough to look out of form

i thought he was a little unlucky as i thought it had pitched outside leg in real time

they have to make the change tho for the semi

Stupid review though. Didn't even ask Hales.

in hindsight it was but as they are saying on commentary it wasn't really that full and must have looked like it pitched outside leg

Gonna be one of those 20/6 days...

[rich1uk]

Should have brought Bairstow in for this game, because he's now gone rusty sitting on the sidelines and bound to fail in the semi.

[ianp1970]

If the change was going to be made, then today was the time to do it.

I agree


how's the rain looking?

imagine Australia going out because they were NR'd in all 3 matches?

Indeed it was . England's answer to Watson...

Honestly : only one review available to the team ; and a man who is well aware he is dreadfully out of form takes it on himself to use it up on the pure hope that it might have been pitched outside the line - without consulting his partner either

You can call it desperation , the sign of a scrambled mind ; or selfishness if you aren't feeling too charitable...but it would have really annoyed me if I were a teammate . If a key batsman gets a howler later on he'll never hear the last of it.

Morgan has made it clear Roy is nailed on for the whole tournament so England are effectively playing with ten men unless someone overrules him...

the forecast was for intermittent rain for the next 3 to 4 hours

its actually got there earlier than the forecast
