Jordan terrible with the ball but he hit a crucial 6 with the bat on the last ball of the innings. Malan is a weird one, but if the innings goes a certain away he is crucial. 

I think the bowling is too inconsistent to win the tournament, and our spin options have struggled in Australia. Good confidence boosting couple of series wins in Pakistan and Australia though.

In the last three years Liam Livingstone averages 12 in red ball cricket. I’m not sure it makes it better or worse he hasn’t played it in a year.

 

Overton over Potts seems harsh too.

Pleased to see them actually reward Jennings for having a very good season, shame he won't open with Duckett and Crawley will probably stop one of them from playing. I've wanted to see Livingstone in the test team for a while, prior to McCullums appointment solely to give us a bit of a game changing option. He clearly suits the way McCullum has us playing and his overall stats with bat and ball in red ball cricket are actually pretty decent (despite lack of game time over recent years)

Nice 2 over spell for Chris Woakes, shame the rain couldn't hold off for us to win the game. 

 

Seems to be a fair bit of rain about in Australia, hopefully doesn't impact the world cup too much. 

I'm guessing it's Spring time there ?  May see some inclement weather.

Looks like a big result for Scotland, not the best start for the bigger teams in the opening group stage.

Liking it! Hope the smaller nations can continue giving other teams a shock so they can build their own reputation and have more games.
