Heavy 7 Wicket Defeat In First ODI.

There were some snatches of excellent play; there was some evidence of sound play but a worryingly high amount of pretty poor efforts were the order of the day..

Not for the first time in recent weeks, a number of English batsmen frittered away their wickets with barely a care.

Archer's return from injury was to be welcomed but - and I am truly sorry to say it - shows little evidence that he is on the path to being the terrifying figure that he once used to be.
