The Full Toss: English blog calls Kohli 'just too bloody good" for England bowlers

After Virat Kohli led India to another successful chase, TheFullToss.com’s writer James Morgan has run out of superlatives to describe the Indian skipper’s brilliance. Morgan has also sympathized with Eoin Morgan for the lack of quality bowlers he has at his disposal at the moment.

From thefulltoss.com:

I don’t need to write this blog anymore. I just need a computer programme that can spell Virat Kohli and then add a list of superlatives after his name. He’s just too bloody good for our quite average bowling attack. We’ve been saying it all effing winter and it’s not going to change any time soon.

You can’t really blame our batsmen. They did their part by scoring 350-7. Some might be a bit picky and argue we were twenty runs short, but 350 will win you most games. The problem comes when the opposition have a champion batsman (who is probably the best ODI player in the world on current form) and you don’t have anything remotely close to a champion ODI bowler to neutralise him.

I don’t want to get too down on our bowlers today, as I’m sure you’re all well aware that our lack of top quality seamers and spinners in limited overs cricket is our achilles heel, but it’s kind of unavoidable in the circumstances. An attack of Woakes, Willey, Ball, Stokes, Rashid and Moeen is never going to get the job done, especially in these conditions.
