Interestingly only 3 of our players scored under 20, Solanki, Ali & Harmison (Not out), yet none of them scored over 50, if one of our players had gone on to a bigger score it could have been a different story.
They need to take a fresh look at batting at the start of the innings. Sri Lanka got 103 off their first 15 overs, we're usually 60-70 - and behind the clock for the rest of the game. Could it be worth trying a pinch-hitter I wonder? It's gone rather out of fashion in the last few years.
Plunkett could be worth a go on the evidence of the last game. Only trouble is his bowling has been so ineffective, he's in danger of losing his place!
