Wood and Stokes usually in this format.Have england rested any of their bowlers. Don't remember anyone bar Archer and Rashid missing? Their bowling attack looks weak
Wood would play but he is injured. Stokes would come back in as well but otherwise England are having to try to find a new attack which works.Have england rested any of their bowlers. Don't remember anyone bar Archer and Rashid missing? Their bowling attack looks weak

Wood will be a good addition for sure. Stokes not too sure if he will offer much difference. But he will definitely improve the side, no doubt.Wood and Stokes usually in this format.
We are only missing Stokes, Bairstow and Rashid so irrespective of that, the performances in this last 2 matches have been poor.Rohit is a solid captain. Has won multiple IPL so obviously knows how to perform in pressure situation. Hopefully it will continue in T20 world cup. But England were missing a lot of key players so don't know.
Willey looks like he will play so for the other spot hopefully Gleason can play himself in otherwise we would go with Mills but he has been hit and miss. The batting hasn’t gone well in these matches though.Wood will be a good addition for sure. Stokes not too sure if he will offer much difference. But he will definitely improve the side, no doubt.
It's odd when you're serious.expense i’d imagine.
Stokes will get in ahead of Root. England need his experience and there’s too many right handers as it is.No chance Hales comes back. That ship is long sailed.
Root should be well ahead of Stokes in the list of players to bring in.
the problem is none of them are prepared to build an innings, they just want to hit every ball to the boundary like it’s a test match,We are only missing Stokes, Bairstow and Rashid so irrespective of that, the performances in this last 2 matches have been poor.
Doesn't Woakes sometimes play T20s as well?We are only missing Stokes, Bairstow and Rashid so irrespective of that, the performances in this last 2 matches have been poor.
Really glad I watched it. Taunton is a road of a wicket with small boundaries, but even still... Roussouw got 93 off 35 I think. Brutal.Somerset scored a record total of 265 with one guy conceding 16 runs from 4 overs. So 249 runs from the other 16 overs.
Some hitting. Missed most of it but seen the guy who hit 30 odd of about 2 ballsSomerset scored a record total of 265 with one guy conceding 16 runs from 4 overs. So 249 runs from the other 16 overs.
Sometimes but he’s not a starter.Doesn't Woakes sometimes play T20s as well?
Stokes is not competing with Root. He is an automatic selection. Root will probably compete for Malian’s position. Probably looking at something like this:Stokes will get in ahead of Root. England need his experience and there’s too many right handers as it is.
How long is Archer out for?Stokes is not competing with Root. He is an automatic selection. Root will probably compete for Malian’s position. Probably looking at something like this:
Buttler
Roy
Malan / Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Livingstone
Ali
Jordan
Willey / Sam Curran
Rashid
Wood / Mills
If Brook impresses you could move Bairstow to 3 and play him at 6. The bowling lineup could definitly change.
Archer is out for a considerable while, no way he makes that team. Yep would go with the above but probably someone for Archer as he won’t be fit.How long is Archer out for?
Can't see Root suddenly coming back in to the T20 side. I'd bat Stokes at 3...

No Wood or Mahmood either.Have england rested any of their bowlers. Don't remember anyone bar Archer and Rashid missing? Their bowling attack looks weak
I like this lineup, I'd just have Malan instead of Brook as I don't want to keep beating that drum again..but he's the man that keeps performing whereas Brook is an unknown. Put him at 3, there's no issue with Stokes at 4.How long is Archer out for?

Finally out. That was fantastic to watch.One man knock for India in this chase, great effort.
The reserves didn't look anywhere near ready for us. Hope there is no injury issue during T20 world cup.I’m not his biggest fan but that was a great knock by Malan. If the pitch is flat, he can just bully an opponent. Helps that this isn’t India’s best set of bowlers but they are still quality.
Clearly taking Stokes' words to heartDom Sibley is looking to impress currently 41 off 32 and his opening partner is 1 off 23
More of that please, you don't need to be a world beater to open for England at the moment. Good aggression and a half decent average should get you there eventually.Dom Sibley is looking to impress currently 41 off 32 and his opening partner is 1 off 23
Wouldn't mind seeing him take a spell out of the team.Roy is in terrible form.
England cricket this summer is basically to just see what various dire scenarios Bairstow can dig us out of.Just flicked it on and it's nearly all over!
