How poor is England’s batting in the white ball game? 17:45 - Jul 31 with 462 views | Chrisd | They can bully poor sides with their aggressive batting, but when they’ve come up against decent bowling attacks they invariably crumble, give their wickets away cheaply and fail to use up their allocation of overs. This has been happening for some time now, we’ve got one way of batting and can’t adapt to the conditions or the pitch. Too many batsmen in the current England white ball squad are in based on past reputations and don’t warrant a starting place, but still get selected. [Post edited 31 Jul 2022 17:46]

SA fielded poorly in the first game, but batted well even if they had an impossible task, so it's not a surprise they have turned it around if England's approach is always going to be to try and bludgeon wins. |  | |  |

We've won all four test matches played since the start of "Bazball". |  | |  |

The problem is, it isn’t just this series against SA. We are getting found out and we are so rigid with our batting approach, we can’t change it when the wheels start to come off. For me, we don’t bat with our brains, it’s simply smash it, smash it, smash it. We need a balance. I’d drop Roy and Livingstone for a start. [Post edited 31 Jul 2022 18:07]
