That is the worry though isn't it, flexibility n games. There have been times already when it's screamed out for reeling it in a bit, and we've smashed out, rode our luck and it's worked. Won't work when we don't have a batsman or two in the midst of a purple patch. Going to be interesting to watch, great but bumpy ride at times though suspect we'll only get to crash and burn a few times before people get antsy. |  |

Conversely, we rain it in and lose those games. It's not always going to work, but at least its exciting to watch! |  |

I don't think that's fair personally, some members of the team haven't fully grasped it yet and have been too attacking but Root, Bairstow, Pope and Stokes have shown a degree of patience when needed, it's not been unfettered hitting. Crawley insiting on chasing balls outside off from the get go has been a major issue for him but that's long been the case We will lose games playing this way but the difference is we are trying to win rather than trying to lose when games are in the balance. |  |
