108-6 in a ODI sure isn't very impressive.

Did my first nets sesion in 30 years last night (to help out a mate's 2nds who are short on pre-season numbers). Played exactly like a bloke that hasn't played in 30 years.

Sounds like Woakes had a windmill at that one trying for runs. Got a feather edge and goes for 33. Root on 97. 202-7 right now.

Well they've been banging on about batting all the way down to number 10 when we've been hitting 400. Will be good to see how true that is.

Well. we didn't get our 50 overs. 262 all out for 47.5 overs. Not good, but a hell of a lot better than 108-6. Come on the bowlers, skittle these pink panthers.... :oyea:

Only ourselves to blame there. Fair play to the Saffers for making the most of it.

Seem to have a bad habit of losing wickets in clusters. Going nicely at 150 for 3 then suddenly two go down in one over. And the two biggest wickets we have in Stokes and Buttler.
