Is there a better opening pair in ODI's than Roy and Bairstow at the moment?

One that doesn't try to run each other out maybe!Thor Sedan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 1:32 pm Is there a better opening pair in ODI's than Roy and Bairstow at the moment?

I gather it was Bairstow... he seems to do this a lot.
Re: The Official Cricket Thread

He got away with it the first time and then immediately screwed Roy over. Then Stokes came in and Bairstow called a run, Stokes sent him back very firmly and just as well. The guy's an idiot. Talented, but an angry, impulsive, ginger idiot.
Perhaps he got angry watching Nasser during the interval talk a load of bollocks about DRS.

Well, that's pretty poor from the 3rd umpire. Stokes looked out there. Far too casual.

Even Eng can't blow this from here.

Why not? Our middle order hasn't produced for a bit and we're weaker than ever there. It's a hugely top-heavy team. We're very unlikely to match the insane run scoring the Indians managed in the final ten overs.
Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Stokes doing his level best to ensure the middle order don't need to do anything at all. Amazing innings so far.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Off the last 12 balls he's faced, Stokes has scored 49 runs with India conceding a further 2 wides

Stokes falls for 99 off 52. Ah well. He should've been given out ages ago so can't feel too bad for him

Bairstow picks out a fielder.

Buttler out.

I think Eng had got this now, England need 10 runs in 50 balls. RRR: 1.20

In the end a quite brilliant runchase. Made a big total look like a piece of piss.

Trying to bowl cutters on a pitch with no grip is hilarious by India. Just end up being long hops.

Well, fair play Curran. Hell of an effort. Poor wickets to full tosses the difference. Enjoyable series in all it’s guises
Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Irony being it was a brilliant bit of fielding from the biggest culprit that rescued it.
Re: The Official Cricket Thread

That does rather ignore the massive slices of luck we had in this game too...
Not too upset about the result in the end. Big Balls Sam did his best, but I reckon England won't be too worried. Root, Morgan, Archer, Woakes will make a big difference to that side when they come back in. Buttler's form is a concern, ditto Rashid, but beyond that it was a good contest of a series.

Just watching a bit of the porkystornies vs sefrica. Babar and Imam making it look so simple. They’ve got so much time on the ball and they’re making the Sefrican attack look utterly toothless.
Re: The Official Cricket Thread

That’s the ton for Babar. Effortless ball striking.
