Curran has looked highly out of sorts, I'm not convinced at all by him, but grinding it out and battling is a real skill and he seems to have it in buckets. Hope he keeps fighting this afternoon.
I feel it’s better to have a bloke average 30 for us that grinds then a 50 or nothing player.
Especially with Bennett at the other end who so far is a 50/100 or nothing player. Complement each other nicely i reckon

Curran just needs to keep feeding Raza the strike so long as Raza sticks around. He only looks comfortable playing off his pads. I haven't seem him cut or trying to play the cover drive. Really restricts his scoring ability

I’m curious to know our average opening partnerships since Curran came in.

They are our best looking opening combo in a very long time

I would love to make England bat again

I know easy to say but fuck one or two more quality players and we ain’t to much further off being competitive

Welch would have done that. I’m sure he would have scored a good 50 here. This england team is crap lol
