    It's a bit too easy, but I agree. Smashing the world record against them would really have hurt. Mind you, I was hoping we'd get 500 just to really humiliate them.

    We should have played them once and Scotland 5 times. Still, if you can't enjoy smashing the Aussies ...

    Something needs to be done to rebalance the game though - not a huge fan of these massive totals. Basically no one will want to be a bowler anymore

    Yes, I was willing us to get 500. 311 used to be a winning score, we chased it with more than 5 overs to spare

    Our top order is very special, Bairstow, Roy & Hales and then you still have Buttler in reserve

    But sadly, what the ignorant plebs want to see is the ball sailing out of the ground once an over. Bowlers are now just a means to that end. They could be replaced with bowling machines for all most spectators care.

    Go back to only 1 ball, brings reverse swing back in and more for the spinners as the ball gets older.... weather this yr has helped pitched be truer, also for TV loads of runs, 4's and 6's looks better than 190 all out

    Soundsd to me like they've made the game too accessible, Ian.

    Although easier for Sky to drop in ad breaks with wickets falling all the time

    The great Sachin has said this very thing about one ball this morning - and Athers was going on about it yesterday. Won't happen til at least after the World Cup

    There is a truth there, though. It's as though in football someone had widened the goals or made the goalkeepers wear blindfolds. Lots more goals, but basically pretty sh1t.
