Scoring quickly in ODI's is not all about hitting 4's and 6's. Its about knocking the ball about, rotating the strike and constantly making the bowlers adjust their lines and lengths.

Thats why two of the best one days bats IMO are Bevan and Fairbrother, they always seemed to get runs and at a good rate, without smashing too many 4's or 6's

This is where England are going wrong at the moment we are either blocking everything or throwing the bat at everything. If the batters knock the ball around you can score at 5 an over without too much risk and as soon as a bad ball comes along, 4 more....
