Bowlers battle as Britain experience fifth consecutive ODI misfortune
Alerts are not exactly ringing for Britain's restricted overs mentor and commander right now, particularly considering the reality various key faculty are not engaged with this series.
Be that as it may, there is no glossing over the reality five back to back ODI routs makes for marginally awkward perusing as Matthew Mott and Buttler endeavor to plan a protection of a World Cup won so emphatically on home turf in 2019.

Foisted into the middle of a strained opening spell by Lungi Ngidi and Wayne Parnell in the seventh over, he could have withered here, yet Creek's emotionless and procedure assisted him with directing Britain to a cutthroat aggregate.
How he then deftly utilized the profundity of the wrinkle against the left-arm twist of Keshav Maharaj, sending off him for two sixes, was particularly noteworthy having painstakingly picked his minutes to be forceful.
Similarly he adapted to the situation presented by South Africa's speed assault, scoring by and large around the wicket and knowing when to play full-blooded snares and when to control them.
A lady ODI century was available for whoever gets there first just for Creek's extravagance, and a dash of pomposity maybe, to get the better of him against Markram's parttime off-breaks.
He will kick himself not to have arrived at the achievement and furthermore guaranteed his commitment was one which characterized the match in the sightseers' approval.
