Roy's scored just 174 in his last 10 England innings but his most obviously replacement, Hales, hasn't been doing much better with 173 in his last 9 goes. Malan is in better form than either of them but, whilst the team is winning more often than not, he won't be allowed to leapfrog them 'til they have been given more than enough time to fail.sillav nitram said:Roy back to his best, one good innings, then return to the usual single digit scores. I honestly don’t know why we persist with him?

They were saving him for the 'death' overs, but New Zealand didn't get thereMrOneLung said:Why did Willey only bowl 5 overs ?

The South Africans really are producing poor Test wickets but then it has been doing them little favours:Callumcafc said:Australia are 170-4 in their first Test in Durban.
Australia 351 all out (M Marsh 96, Maharaj 5-123)
SA 162 all out ( ABV 71*, Starc 5-34)

Aussie have a very good record in S Africa.0

In the recent three match series against India the highest score of any innings was 335. The Aussies only surpassed that score today because Starc smashed a quickfire 35.Riviera said:Aussie have a very good record in S Africa.

Surely easy enough to just get tickets out there rather than paying a tour company0

NZ won the toss and have put us in. Wood for Willey our only change.0

I last went for the Kandy Test in 2003. At that time you could just turn up on the day, pay a ridiculously cheap price and watch the game. I have no idea if it's still the same. Sadly the old jungle-surrounded Kandy ground has gone, replaced by a new stadium half an hour out of town.
Back to today's ODI and England look like posting a pretty low target with the current score 177/5 after 42 overs.0 -
234 all out from the full 50 overs.
England lost four wickets in last three overs.0 -
15-1 off 3 overs
Woakes got the wicket0 -
103-6
Combination of a difficult track, poor batting and excellent bowling from Ali and Rashid who now have 5-28 between them.0 -
97 required off 17 overs with 4 wickets in hand.
Williamson 61*
Santner 14*

Following those figures in the last ODI, Ali and Rashid have returned 20-2-70-5 in this. Amazing to think that spin is our weakness in Test cricket but a strength in white ball cricket.Addick Addict said:Should also give a mention to our superb fielding today - not just the four run outs but also the catching was superb.
Ali and Rashid bowled well too and only went for 65 in their 20 overs.0 -
Fantastic bit of work from Woakes to run Santner out trying to take a return catch from Williamson ;-)0
