That was pretty awful. Happens sometimes in white ball though. Don't have to go back too far - and nothing to do with Cook Trott etc : May 2017 v SA. Crashed to 20/6 (Roy Hales Root Morgan Buttler Rashid ) before Bairstow Willey and Roland-Jones scrambled them to 153 - all out in 32 overs and SA chased it down for three wickets in 28 ...
OK , this is a little worse. But really a very similar narrative. And the other two games in that series , England made 330 both times and won. So probably not yet time to declare No Morgan no England
Concerns though. Roy looks very out of sorts at present - hope it isn't terminal ; but there is a mounting case for giving Salt a shot. And Livingstone looks as if he's been a bit too carried away by blasting Dutch part-timers into the surrounding countryside and imagines he can get away with crazy stuff against top class bowling...what he thought he was doing with four down for twenty odd is beyond me. Was surely the time to try and survive a few overs , see off the danger men , and work with Jos to put a partnership together and set up for a late dash while there was till a bit of batting left : almost certainly wouldn't have been enough but if they could have salvaged something close to 200 at least the crowd would have had a game to watch. And the bowling looked pretty toothless - though to be fair they had no hope from the start.
Hopefully Thursday brings something better !
