And a couple of injuries to boot. Massive score from what it was like early on (was Test like in those first 10 overs)

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Getting spanked so far, this looks like a different wicket than this morning but you have to make the most of it and South Africa have. Bavuma with a classy innings.
(long way to go though.. we know what happened to England in game one.)
Thought -- Woakes should be made to hand his passport in, again woeful away from home.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Bowling wasn't good enough. Surely we've seen enough of Woakes overseas to know he's not an answer with the ball.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Not a bad thing getting schooled here. There’s enough time before India to get a few things and the selection right. Going in as world champions always a challenge.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Always interesting how so many sides pick their very best (i.e. test) bowlers for ODIs whereas England never do.

Roy goes for 1 in the final ODI. He was lucky to last as long as he did to be honest...

I know he got a ton the other day but with such depth in batting.. Hales, cough we really should be moving on.

Lions doing better in SL. Good to see Essex's Sam Cook playing.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Nice article about the Hollioakes. You'd suspect that Ben would have loved a crack at T20.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Yeah, great stuff. And a brilliant series even if we ended up losing.
Well played both.
