Another convincing win for England - two up with three to play
Am I being cynical cos it seems to me that Stokes's comeback was stage managed many weeks ago, hence him familiarising himself with the conditions in NZ.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/42718484
I don't get this . He was unavailable for selection before he was charged and now that he has been charged , he's available
Perhaps we will be the ones dishing out a 5-0 whitewashAnother convincing win for England - two up with three to play
Is there a 30 yard line painted?There are also fielding restrictions in the 50 over game. First ten overs, only two fielders allowed outside a 30-yard radius, then it becomes four and for the last 10 overs five. In test cricket you can put everyone on the boundary if you want to.
Yes. It’s actually more of an oval shape.Is there a 30 yard line painted?
I pondered before I typed it and decided on bowls but I stand to be corrected.Interesting grammatical point...... is it bowls or balls? I'd suggest the latter.
It's still 11 v 11 and you pick your own teams. I would have expected it easier to build a score with no time restriction but it seems otherwise.The 50 over game is played and completed on just one day, not four or five like the test matches.
The pitch has no significant deterioration and there isn’t the same concentration required to build a big score. How many times in the test matches did we see England start well and then throw away a good position the next day?

Bowlers are also restricted to only bowling a certain number of overs, so your lesser bowlers have to play a part and the captain must use his big guns wisely.
Finally, of course, quite a few of the players are different between the one day team and the test team. Jos Buttler, who scored 100 not out today, wasn’t even in the test squad.
And Drog, you are correct, it’s balls not bowls.
The historical match records of the stadium will always show the first match was a defeat by EnglandSuperb death bowling by young Tom . Great series win and the cherry on the top ? Spoiling the Aussies grand opening of their new Optus Stadium in Perth .
