Superb knock by Bairstow, but I think the awful over from Hendricks won England the game.
Roy has to come good soon or his place will be up for grabs. I would like Hales back in the squad, but for some reason Morgan et al don't seem to want him. Is it down to more than his two drug offences ??

Mixed fortunes for the Curran brothers yesterday. Tom's bowling was expensive.

For me the main story of the match related to the fine bowling of Sh. Curran.
However, credit where credit is due to Bairstow. He’s had a lot of detractors on here praying for some mediocre gloveman to replace him and/or Buttler in the Test team, which can’t have done anything for his form. Great to see him rise above it.

Fair play to Jonny Bairstow, he is proving to be a very good international white ball cricketer.

Bairstow should have opened, with Buttler, Stokes and Morgan batting in the next 3 positions. Morgan coming in at Number 6 was way too low. Malan's progress has been undermined by inconsistency and a penchant for soft dismissals. He's made some good scores in T20, but I'd prefer to see someone like Hales or Billings in the side..

It's the old adage, get your best batsman in at the top of the order, especially in T20. Malan should be coming in after, not before the likes of Bairstow, Morgan and Stokes.

Amongst all the sport today, England recorded their second win in the best of 3 T20 series.
Won by 4 wickets with one ball remaining.

I recorded the game so that I could watch the Town and then the cricket afterwards.
Another close one, but S.A have shot themselves in the foot twice now having bowled one really expensive over.
Expecting a couple of changes for the last game, but I hope he leaves Jason Roy in as the lad is clearly lacking game time/confidence. He didn't become a bad player overnight.

He's played a few games for Shrewsbury C.C. during the last couple of seasons.

Despite needing 192 to win, England cruise to victory by 9 wickets with 14 balls remaining and win the series 3-0.

She has had quite a few mentions in National newspapers sports pages, and was the Sunday Times Sportswoman Of The Year.
Also been in the sports news om Midlands Today, as she comes from Herefordshire.

Oh dear !! 1st ODI cancelled because of a positive COV19 test (S.A. player/players).
So if the T20 and One Day squads have been in bubbles for two or more weeks I wonder how that has happened !!!! This bloody virus gets everywhere and is ruining my sport watching.

That was always on the cards. I would also say that it's only 50/50 that they will tour Sri Lank after the New Year too !!

Agreed, much easier to maintain bubbles in 'ground attached hotels', but quite a few players are now going public as to how hard it is to move from bubble to bubble without being able to spend time with their families. Capt. Morgan did warn about this happening a few weeks ago.

A few England players pulled out of the BBL. Pretty tough mentally to keep it up without a break

The 2 "unconfirmed" cases in the England camp have now been retested and come back negative.

Big win for Australia in the first test vs India. The hosts won by 8 wickets after India were blown away for just 36 in their second innings.

India’s batting looks bang average outside of the sub continent and has done for a while now. Australia are going to be very tough next winter.
