The Ashes

[Alex]

England going fairly well tonight. On track for another win to level the series going into the last game

This has been a really good ODI series. Both sides seem evenly matched. Which is something that couldnt have been said 6 months ago. Getting Morgan in as Captain seems to have done wonders for the team and his own form.

I said I wouldn't watch a ball but I heard about our start, 100-0 off **** all, so I tuned in.

First ball I see, Hales bowled!

This is amazing though. 233-2, cruising to the 350 target. Unbelievable turnaround.

[Shaggy]

This is absolutely magnificent

[Buzzo]

This is absolutely magnificent

Watching it also.

I think the changes in both batting and bowling have revitalised the team (stating the obvious!) but the absence of plodders like Bell and Cook at the top and getting rid of egos like Broad and to an extent Anderson, added to a new attitude has revitalised the team.
An astonishing turn around from the WC.

Morgan and Root tearing it up

Kind of feel like you are jumping on my positivity bandwagon lads.

[Chazza]

Just have to hope some of this rubs off on the test team.

I have no real vested interest, as close to an honest broker as you will find in cricket

But it is a mightily impressive turn around. Particularly pleased for Morgan who was thrown under the bus in the WC.

5th Highest ever run chase

When's the Cricket World Cup starting? This team ought to be in with a chance of winning it.

They absolutely walked it as well.

[Pedenj]

It's crazy the change in this team compared to the World Cup. Just playing cricket in such a positive manner.

Just got a ticket for the 4th Day of the Cardiff Ashes Test!

Footitt

Nick Hoult @NHoultCricket
England to go to Spain on pre ashes camp aka get to know Trevor Bayliss. 14 man squad includes Footitt

[dww]

Shame there is no Rashid.

[Pedenj]

Was surprised at that - think he is the better option personally.

[captainfog]

Would like to Moeen back in the ODI side ahead of Roy. Not convinced about Willey either, but apart from that, the team is sorted.
