England TOPPING the charts at the half way mark : whoa !

Red Heads is England answer after 44 years ??

Morgan, Bairstow, Stokes : who else in this line up ?

Moeen has a strange color ...but eyes

For a country that has produced some very high class batsmen, this is a very ordinary batting line up from South Africa. I said it before, every team must have a class player in their batting line up. Hashim Amla was that player, but he is obviously not the same player.
As for the West Indies, they need divine intervention quickly. We have no class players and we playing as if our brains are under our feet.
