And they still won't reduce the size of bats. I'm scared that stuff like this will increase day by day. We might as well replace bowlers with machines.
Looks like a good innings. Taking nothing away from him

350 runs in a total of 579 runs....
Day by day my interest in cricket is dwindling...

Reduce the size of the bats and Pakistan/ Bangladesh/ England won't make 200 on decent batting pitches.

As long as bowlers have a say in the game I don't care. The game needs to be balanced. Pak still holds the record for most scores defended under 200. Batting only teams are dominating and the teams with good bowling can't do anything about it. This WC was the perfect example of this.

Previous record belonged to an Indian and I wasn't even aware.
Please elaborate on this. Which are the teams with "good bowling" that "haven't been able to do anything" against the "batting teams"?

Also like I said the game is TOO unbalanced. And this is leading to one sided games which we saw in this WC. Apart from a select few like Pak v South Africa or NZ vs SA we didn't see much of a contest between bat and ball. The team batting first set up a huge total and obviously the team batting second succumbs to the pressure of scoring. Which is exactly what happened in the SF. One of the most boring SF I have ever seen. Look what Michael Holding has to say about it in the link above

I mean teams with bowling as their main strength are having their only strength neutralized due to the shift in the balance of bat and ball. Those teams who have better batting attacks are automatically succesful and that is why there is such a division between quality of teams. The quality of the top 4 is VERY different from the bottom 6 teams.

Not sure about that... these records are all very vague. For example, the following link lists a guy having made 403. And this was a while back so there must've been a higher score sometime.

Incredible 403 in 137 balls
Karachi: Hitting quadruple hundreds in cricket is a rarity, but hitting 403 in 137 balls in 36 overs is surely an exceptionally rare feat.
Pakistani batsman Shahzad Malik, while playing for the Langleybury Cricket Club in Hertfordshire county, England, hammered 403 runs in just 137 balls, 38 of which went for six. He achieved his feat against the Middlesex Tamils, reports The News.
The sport.telegraph website quoted Langleybury's captain Nigel Ilott as saying that "the Tamils were reasonable club cricketers, but they had a lot of spinners and Shahzad loved that. It was as if someone like Kevin Pietersen had come down to play at our level."
The report said that Shahzad has already represented Pakistan A, and is fast emerging as an upcoming batting talent in the domestic cricket circuit.
In the 2004-05 season, in first-class cricket, he hit 1,008 runs at an average of 72 with the help of four hundreds and five half-centuries, it added. — ANI

I saw a 300 in a 40 over club match in Canada four years ago.
Freaky things like this happen on the fringes of cricket all the time, then the players mysteriously disappear from history....like teardrops in the rain.

Yup. Agree to some extent.
Somehow the best sides have had both solid batting as well as bowling, like Australia presently.
Terrific innings against Somerset by Lancashire's young captain Liam Livingstone.
Was the top scorer for the England Lions in Sri Lanka.
Some say he was even unlucky not to make the CT squad.
I find it interesting he says he's self-taught himself a lot of things and how management have avoided overcoaching him. Another sign of how English cricketing culture is changing and allowing players a bit more freedom compared to the micromanaging of the past.

Terrific. What a great environment to Prosper.
English Cricket on the rise. Markhor uptil now even Duckett hasn't exhibited his class and here comes another player Liam.
Love his attitude and honesty. This also proves that somstimes you need to treat different players differently. For instance Jennings has improved massively due to ideal professional Coaching.

Big Boy hammers it like anything.
Power hitting with conviction & confidence.

English batting stocks are very strong at the moment to leave out a player the calibre of Livingstone from CT squad.
Duckett was exposed badly against spin in Asia last winter but England have rightly retained him in ODI squad as he's an explosive hitter. If this was Pakistan, Duckett would've dropped from ODIs on basis of his Test failures.
Bowling is still a concern and the biggest weakness heading into these two ICC tournaments. Australia and South Africa possess superior pace attacks, and the spinners are easy to milk in middle overs. Mason Crane may have to be fast-tracked. Jack Leach was close to debuting but he had problems with his action.

Why are England persisting with Plunkett ? Don't they have any other better option ?
Mark Wood is a seriously good addition. Hope he stays fit.
England under 19 had a very decent offspinner who could bat aswell. Forgetting his name. I expected him to be ready by now.
If England plays good cricket under pressure they can still win CT. I think they have the players now it's just about coping with pressure.

These are the two knocks vs Somerset I was referring to. 68 in the 1st innings in a very difficult position, then after 5.40 mark you can see his 168 in the 2nd innings.

England is taking the Limited Overs batting to the next level. If they can find 1-2 wicket-takers, they will be unbeatable in ODIs/T20Is for a few years.

England is the greatest cricketing nation in the world. Expecting them to dominate world cricket in the 2020-2030 decade.
Plunkett still bowls at a good pace even at 32, was leading wicket-taker in the recent ODI series in West Indies. Also can bowl in death overs.
Problem with Mark Wood is his action generates so much stress on his ankle hence why he's had multiple ankle surgeries. Hope it doesn't affect his pace as he's one of the fastest in the country - in last year's T20 Blast even Joe Root couldn't handle him.
Bowling talent coming through is not amazing to be honest. However LOI team is on a tremendous rise due to such a ridiculously strong batting line up.
Buttler, Moeen, Root, Hales, Roy, Stokes, Duckett, Billings all dynamic batsmen. Too much talent. Even on less flatter wickets they have capable batsmen as they showed in Bangladesh.

Swift through both sides of the wicket. Has good reach and picks up the length early. Finally Trott's replacement is around the corner. His midwicket flick has so much of trott in him.
Won't be surprised to see him play Ashes ahead of Duckett, Vince and Balance. Atleast he would be in the squad along with Jennings. His FC numbers are quite impressive aswell.

Pretty good strokeplay. Good length and clean batswing. Quite often unbalanced though.
Can't say much about his ability against the moving ball as it didn't move much when he was playing, at least in the highlights.

County Cricket is very strong. Bowlers will eventually come. The likes of Anderson, Broad etc. will inspire a generation.

England is producing some seriously good batting prospects, absolutely explosive. I hope Pakistanis start playing more county and less league cricket, maybe we might get another strong batting lineup like the 70's one.
At the very least I hope a few British born Pakistanis turn out to be exceptional batting talents and represent their country of heritage. Very likely considering our weak batting lineup and permanent spots up for grabs, someone like Usman Khwaja would be a shoe in. He should seriously consider playing for Pakistan, we'd treat him like the second coming of Saeed Anwar.

Nope they cannot.
Problem is with the England system.
England ends up selecting the best guys from its domestic system. It doesn't select a combination or give long run to guys which they should do.
Like if i were to perform or top in the England domestic league, i would be selected immediately, even though this might ruin team combination.
ALl year around they make too many changes

Pretty good. Just had to face a very good attack.
