Whether it’s a knock on the innings or a crumbling collapse – England’s batting collapse in the first ODI last night against South Africa is unbelievable. Many are in disbelief that the world champions of the two versions of the white ball have made scoring or chasing a lot of ‘hands off’.
Taking modern cricket to another level, England started playing ODIs with a target of 400 or more runs, not 300 runs anymore. The target of 299 runs given by the host South Africa last night is also supposed to be easy for the English.
