Having chewed up a lot of balls for not many runs, Bethell really needs to convert this start into something substantial.

England doing their usual to throw this away, this game is done! Shocking middle order collapse again to some very ordinary spinners!

Same old story in this format
We dont take enough wickets in the middle overs
We lose to many in the middle overs when batting
One thing iv noticed in bethells 50 over career is he isnt very good at rotating the strike when spin is on so it turns into block or slog

Did you see much of the game mate? Agree about bethel hasn't got going at all in odis.....to be fair should only have been chasing 250 odd, last over from Overton went for 23! Then the middle order collapsed! Brook is pretty useless against spin, Curran gave his wicket away and butler just didn't get going at all.....Rehan did alright with the bat but the engine room needs to do a lot more

Seems odd that the response to Crawley's disappointing Test career, is to also play him in another format.
