I went to bed feeling a little heartened that 309 was defendable…
300 is the new 230!
It just isn’t doable on a regular basis. England have always been about five years behind in the 50 over stuff.
Moores just looks like a jobbing type of coach. Got all the ‘badges’ or ‘levels’, and knows the doctrine he has been taught inside out. The problem is that he is a product of the age of nurdling the ball around in the middle overs then trying to tee off when it is too late.
On the plus side, no one gave England much of a chance anyway, so it is not as if they are genuinely squandering an opportunity.
