Can't believe England have dropped Bopara.

Miller out! Moores out! Whittaker out! Giles out!


He is England's best young batsman and a player we should be giving maximum amount of chance to succeed. He's hit a bloody double hundred in a limited overs games, plus a hundred off about 50 balls already this season. What more do you need to do to get in a generally poor England one-day side?

Would be a better choice than Bell opening, would be a better choice than Wright and probably Shah and Patel as well.

Play Bopara!
 
Must admit I was surprised to see Bopara dropped.

Personally would of kept the side same as per the first ODI, old saying you cant change a winning side.
 
Harsh decision considering Ravi has much more class than Wright. Patel earnt his place for today, so Wright should have been dropped.
 
I also couldn't belive Ravi was droped, one of the wrost decision i have seen by England. I don't know why they bring back Collingwood for Ravi if they wanted Collingwood back bring him in for Wright or Bell. Wicket just gone 25-2

I think Colly coming in is a fair shout as he is a mainstay of our team.....and him in for Wright who wasnt needed on Friday would not have been much of a change.

Am amazed Ravi has been dropped though. He was left out of the test team quite late in the day as well. I thought I read he got on well with KP but recent decisions (such sa dropping him down the order and leaving him out of this game) suggest otherwise. Surely he has far more class than Wright.
 
Andre Nel has just smacked 3 fours off 4 balls to ruin Broads figures

10-3-23-5 aint too shabby though :clap::clap:
 
83 all out Ravi will not be back in the team for a while as long as we win this easily
 
Great bowling from England, Broad in particular.

I can understand why England wanted Wright in, as he gives them something a little bit extra in the final 10 overs.

As far as I'm concerned Pietersen and Collingwood are the only automatic selections with the bat. After than I'm looking to build a team and the first name on my teamsheet if I'm trying to build a team for the future is Bopara.
 
Great win for England today, and well done. Like most I was diasppointed to see Ravi left out, and if England keep winning he'll not get back in this summer.

Surely it's Ravi?
