Even with making 202-7 against Italy, there remains a feeling England’s batting is yet to fully fire at this tournament.<\/p>\n
They posted 184-7 against Nepal, were bowled out for 166 by West Indies and wobbled when chasing 153 in their victory over the Scots.<\/p>\n
The problem has not been batters getting in.<\/p>\n
Englishmen have reached 25 runs 14 times so far \u2013 the most of any team in the competition \u2013 but only four of those knocks have been converted into fifties. No England player has made a score above 75.<\/p>\n
Will Jacks rejected the notion this is due to batters failing to take responsibility.<\/p>\n
“Responsibility in T20 can be misunderstood,” he said. “Sometimes the responsibility is to try and hit 30 off the over.”<\/p>\n
Malan believes The Hundred may be having an impact.<\/p>\n
“There’s more emphasis on the first 10 overs now, so if you lose wickets in those first 10 overs then it makes it harder towards the end, but you still need to keep going,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I used to always worry more about the second 10 overs, so it was about setting things up and then being able to get to that 180 or 190-mark, if the score and wicket dictated it.<\/p>\n
“A lot of these players are playing in The Hundred which is less balls, meaning you have to keep going earlier, and it doesn’t really teach you to soak up the pressure for an over or two.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
