England Test skipper Ben Stokes is amazed with the way the white-ball side under Eoin Morgan went about smashing records in the opening One-day International against the Netherlands at Amstelveen on Friday evening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Stokes, who himself has guided the Test team to a 2-0 win against New Zealand in the ongoing series, suggested on social media that the entire 50 overs England batted against the Dutch looked like highlights, given that there was never a dull moment with Phil Salt, Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler crafting beautiful centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Buttler was the most devastating of the three England batters, striking 14 maximums in his unbeaten 162 (70 balls) at a strike rate of 231.42, bludgeoning the Dutch attack to smithereens as England scored a record 498\/4 in 50 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They then restricted Netherlands to 266 for a massive 232-run win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Stokes was quick to tweet that for the first he felt the entire 50 overs of England batting looked like highlights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Could be the first time that the highlights are the full 50 over's," tweeted Stokes, with fans asking the all-rounder if the red-ball and white-ball teams were vying to give the best entertainment to the English fans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
