He's perfectly fine in the 50 overs format.Pelling1993 said:
Malan is easily the most underrated white ball player England have ever had. He's immense but just gets endless shit from Fans & Commentators alikeCafc43v3r said:
The stick he gets is in the 20 overs games.
He can get away with a slow start in 50 overs cricket and catch up as the game unfolds as he showed the other day.
But he can't get away with a slow start in 20/20 as has been rightly pointed out.1 -
I think it's more where it is as opposed to the format. I am not convinced I would want him in the team in Asia. In Australia and South Africa I would pick him for all 3 formats TBH.blackpool72 said:

The England tour of NZ is underway with the first day of a 2-day warm up against a NZ XI played yesterday. The England batsman really turned it on and they will stretch their bowling legs today.
The first Test is at Mt Maunganui starting on February 16 and the second Test starts in Wellington on February 24. Then they will play 4 T20s.

Forgot to mention that the first 3 days of the Wellington Test are booked out, an unprecedented level of interest for many.3

Away from England, Australia crumble against India to 177 all out. 8 wickets to the spinners in the first innings...2

The NZ XI were all out for 310, the game finishing under floodlights with a pink ball. Anderson, Broad, Stone, Potts and Ollie Robinson all had a bowl against an inexperienced side, Olly Stone finishing with 3-54. Ben Stokes spent the game as an “interested observer” from the boundary in his sunglasses.0

Slightly dubious that England only have a 2 day game instead of a 4 day one, because they don't want to peak too early, and it worked in Pakistan. That they did so well in that series was surely not down to only having one 2 day practice game?0

Although it keeps making me shiftier about my day 4 oval tickets this summer!!0 -
England Lions set up a run chase by scoring at nearly 6 an over in their first innings. It's catching.
Need 184 off 28 with 7 wickets in hand.0 -
Meanwhile in India, a normal Test match is being played!
India on 312-7 after 109 overs0 -

With future series in mind, this Test might signal the beginning of the end for 35 year old Lyon (37-10-98-1) as his 22 year old fellow off spinner, Todd Murphy, bowls superbly and with very few poor deliveries on his debut to return figures of 36-9-82-5. Murphy's selection also vindicates the Aussie's bold decision to prefer him to the left armer (especially as India's top 6 are all right handed) and better batsman Ashton Agar.1 -
I was thinking he might be done at the end of this series, yeah0

An interesting one. Jadeja's performance in the first innings showed the worth of having a left armer, but you can't leave Murphy out after that performance. If India are going to (again) go for massively home friendly bunsens, then maybe they need Agar as well?Addick Addict said:killerandflash said:

The return of Cameron Green might allow that to happen with him coming in for a batsman and Agar for Bolandkillerandflash said:

Murphy was superb in the BB too - in 10 T20 matches his E/R is 5.90. There's not a lot of flight but what he can do is land it on a spot at pace. The guile and variations are things that will be a work in progress but it says it all that the best players of spin in the world couldn't hit him out of the attack. It will be really interesting to see if Bazball can.Leuth said:I was thinking he might be done at the end of this series, yeah0 -
Hate to mention it but Cyclone Gabrielle is on its way and will start hitting the northern parts of NZ this Sunday. The east coast will be the worst affected and may be the most severe weather event in NZ for decades. This only mentioned in the context of Mt Maunganui being within the affected area. Hopefully by Thursday the outfield will have dried out a bit.

India 400 all out (Murphy recorded the 6th best figures for an Aussie on debut of 47-12-124-7)
Australia 26-2 and still need 197 to make India bat again0 -
56-5 - the Aussies need to start using they bat as four of those dismissals are for kicking the ball. Ashwin has 4-280

67-70

Jadeja bowls Smith to win the match. Unfortunately it was his fifth no ball. Must be very difficult to make sure that front foot doesn't step over the line when you're trying to eek every mph you can out of a delivery.2
-
91 all out. Australia lose by an innings and 132 runs. It doesn't get much more emphatic than that.3
