I will no doubt now put the kiss of death on this innings but

In general, I really like how established and confident our top 6 or 7 are now when they are all available. 18 months ago the likes of Crawley were nervy and under pressure. Now they all just look like established and confident international performers.

I think it bodes well for the tougher series coming up against India and Aus. For he first time in ages we “should” be playing them with no rookies in the team or players under major pressure for their individual places and apart from our occasional forays into reckless batting every few matches there’s no glaring weaknesses in that batting line up. They are scoring at 5+ an over without having to play stupidly.
