Nice to win this one. Bowling was good but not consistent. Amla played well scoring a century.
Opening partnership hasn't been able to be formed yet. Russow and Ab de did what was expected from them.
Liam played well. Lower order still a conxern.
 
That was another unbelievable victory, thanks to our batsman who made sure our bowlers have a comfortable target to defend. Jason Roy was extraordinary with Coetzer supporting him from the start, sad that he missed his century today. Karim failed to impress me again, have to start looking for other options but man Sam Billings did a MSD today. Striking at a rate of 180+ he made sure we strived towards the end to reach 300+.

Coming to bowlers, David getting expensive every match but make sure he picks wicket on the go. That is impressive for an allrounder to get constant and important wickets. Rest all bowlers contributed equally for the victory. I should this is a complete all-round performance by the team.

That was a terrible game for us. Our team performed inefficiently. Don't know what's wrong with our batting unit. Players like Root, Denly, Hildreth, Trego and KOB continues to struggle. Their failure costed us the previous game as well. Despite having a purple rarity bowler we failed to grab wickets. Looks like the rating upgrade of Plunkett and Jordan didn't worked well. Our team's performance do not look promising.

First ball duck for Bairstow . He was disturbed big time while in the dressing room . Vince's form is a big worry for us now . There was nothing from the batsmen to offer , after the split of Samit-Colin duo . The lower order needed to hung around Samit . Their bowlers bowled excellently to wrap up the tail ....

The opposition being 12/2 we needed to attack more . The big partnership of 132 runs really changed the match scenario for us . After 5 down , we still had hope of winning but you know what happens when Buttler clicks !!

For sure , the XI needs some changes now ....

Making some changes. Dhoni at No 3 is my fav position for him but he pushed himself down during his term as a captain to give chance to youngsters and the good of the game. I hope he shines back well again in No 3 position.

Chahal is coming in, wanted to try the Kulcha combo but not able to bench any other foreign players so, let's see how Chahal does with backing from MSD.

Finally a second win for us, even though by the skin of our teeth once again. The batting has been ultimately shit throughout the tournament. Ravi Bopara played really well considering the pitch and won the match for us with his batting. The bowling did really well. As expected Davey came back strongly, and continued to be the best bowler for us. Gregory, Starc, and Parry alse did really well.

Nice to see Foakes also contributing in the batting front. All in all, an okayish win for us, but we need to work on our batting. The no. 3 spot has been a problem with Ben Slater also failing today. Looks like we would have to bring Hain back, just based on the reputation.

Dam, another loss. A close one though. Selecting to bat first was the mistake I guess in this pitch, both team bowlers were strong but their batsman had a better day than us. I think as a manager I made a mistake of going with many bowlers instead of the added pure batsman. I think adding Rohit to this bowling unit will add more balance to the team but the problem of losing another international player will be the problem. Its a tough decision to make moving forward.

Again I am someone who believes in form rather than their rating. Being a long tournament I guess I have time for a few more tweaks. Lets see what I can do in the next game.
