A very handy time for CdG to break his run of single figure scores.
Getting some help from the Indian bowlers, Colin likes pies!

Four runs to win, four overs left... and for some mad reason the fear of a Super Over still ran briefly through my brain!
@Donsteppa same!
-
CDG you are waaaaaay overdue for runs!
We dug ourselves into a hole here by scoring about 4 runs from 3 overs.

Our batting has a really nice balanced look to it at the moment. Fire power at the top firepower at the bottom, guys who can bat long innings and guys who are comfortable coming in and hitting from ball one. We're still a bit brittle but that's really the only batting weakness in this format.

Briefly?

ODIs have been our best format for quite a while. We've consistently punched at World Cups even with mediocre teams and have had plenty of successful series in between. Sure it looked like we were a better test team than ODI team for patches, but we can't beat the best teams away in the longest format (last series win in Australia, India, England or SA please, anyone?) and are typically only on or around par at home against the same teams. Australia and SA pose a particular mental block i think. In 50 over cricket we can beat anyone on our day.
I can't wait for the C-H series in Australia next month. A genuine opportunity for some revenge after the test series mauling. And I'll be at two of the games in Sydney.

I liked the coolness that (mainly) they did that with. Played out Jadeja's last over and a couple from Bumrah - knowing that they still had plenty of overs from Saini and Thakur to come and that the runrate was always well in hand as long as we didn't lose wickets.
Pity Neesham got himself out in that period, but it worked out happily with Colin coming in and smashing it.
A whitewash of India in the ODIs - bouncing back well from the T20s.
Wonder who we'll have available to bowl in the tests? Wagner is a certainty. Be nice to have all of Boult, Ferguson and Henry available for selection - I'd have Jamieson in the mix as well, along with Timmy.
And I'd be tempted to play without a spinner.
India will put out a good team!
