Brookes taking wickets again for Warwicks (Birmingham Bears). PLaying Yorkshire in the T20. He's an immense talent. 18 and bowls at 90mph. I think he has younger brothers at the club too?
Dry pitches and England quicks are meat and drink to Indian batsmen. Threw away a good start today.India win T20 series.
India have better bowlers and better batsmen, apart from that, there's not much between the teams.
Ethan Brookes was caught out in the Knowle v Shrewsbury Birmingham league game by which ex England goalkeeper yesterday?
Can see the logic as was evidenced by today's performance - problem is Root doesn't play left-arm spin well.I was a bit disappointed they were going to leave out hales even if fit, I would pick him before Root
to me they're not one-day bowlers. don't have the discipline or variation.Wood seems to get many chances to perform but seems to do very little and although not playing today Ball is a joke the attack is very reliant on Rashid and the Indians can play him all day (haven’t seen any of the bowling today as just got out of work)

and as always the quicks don't seem to be able to adjust their plans to suit the match situations.
It's why they want to try and fast track Archer for one.I’d be half tempted to go on the county circuit find your 2/3 consistently quickest bowlers and chuck them in for a couple of games and see what they can do!
Wood is averaging nearly 50 with the ball after about 35 ODI’s!
Bowlers had a decent (not spectacular) total to defend and generally bowled much better than at Trent Bridge. Also early wickets protected the spinners a bit - who both still bowled well.England bounce back with a rather comfortable win!
India win T20 series.

Wood finally bowled well with good support from Willey at the top. Plunkett rubbish.Well chased by Root & Morgan, good series win against quality opposition!

Spinners went well.
Good start with bat. Sometimes you have to bat well and not just hammer it.
Bairstow is a terrific player atm.
Then Root played a quality innings. Morgan also
That’s a good series win against quality opposition And for once didn't panic and learnt quickly about Indian spinners
i'd always keep Root as i've said earlier several times. you need a batsman that can bat 40 odd overs if wickets fall early -much like Kohli, Smith do.Also Root who id have dropped from the 11 for this series had Hales been fit is man of the series!
Rashid will play about 6 2020 for Yorkshire now and that’ll be his season done! Should be in the test side, weather stays like this there will be a shout to play 2 spinners!
what does Rashid do now? Sri Lanka one-dayers in Oct but as far as I know he doesn't have any overseas 20/20 contracts atm. Surely has to be a better balance available between specializing and not playing enough cricketAlso Root who id have dropped from the 11 for this series had Hales been fit is man of the series!

going to need swing friendly conditions to merit Curran's inclusion (plus another 10mph - not quick enough for a short skiddy bowler).Steve harmison was on talksport this morning and was talking about the World Cup side he thinks the eleven from this series plus Woakes vince etc he said there is one space for a bowler and straight away said Henry Brookes has been bowling fast this year but then said he would pick Sam Curran as he is left arm these currans boys must shit gold as I have yet to see them do much ina game

I am a bluff ol' traditionalist when it comes to cricket, but what a finish to a 14 over a side game! Pleased for the youngster Lester in only his 5th match bowling at the death to Root/Williamson!At Old Trafford for Lancs v Yorks. 14 overs each because of rain.
Lancs batted first, 176-2. Great innings!
