Ed Joyce replaced Marcus Trescothick, who was left out for the first time in his career following his decision to miss the forthcoming Champions Trophy.

Interesting reaction to Tres' decision. I guess the ECBs patience has been tested once too often.

Chucky the tree

Oh dear, does'nt look very clever to be the one with the low figure on a winning side (if thats how it turns out).

edit> Bell out for 2!

Mike.

Scores of 10, 13 and 8 could mean that Ed might have already missed the boat for a prolonged ODI career with England. He'll be lucky to be named in the ICC Champions Trophy squad after a run like that. Bad misjudgement to a straight ball today.

Will be a great irony if Joyce misses out on the World Cup with England. Huge loss for Ireland to have him sat at home.

This is what irks me about Joyce. He's a better player of the longer form, (ave. 47 in first class, 36 in List A one dayers and 12 in Twenty20 and now 10.33 in ODI's) yet when you see Alistair Cook in the test team and not in the ODI, I wish that Ed got that chance too. I mean, if he got into the test team before the ODI team, I think we would've seen Ed do much better.
