Team sheet has Hales batting 5. I'd actually bat him at 3. His game certainly suits batting in the top 3 much more than 5. Rarely if ever batted 5. Root batted loads at 4. Morgan one place too high at 4 anyway.

I think Morgan said Hales will be batting 3 at the toss. Hales might suit 3 better than 5 but I equally think Root suits 3 better than 4. If its a toss up between who bats out of position then I'd rather Root stay at 3 since he has less ability to accelerate

I'd open with Hales and move Bairstow to no. 4/5.

Heard that there's a party going on at the ground.
That's a common thing.
If DJ Bravo was there, then it might be a concert.

England won the toss.
Series should be 2-1

Am I the only one that thinks games abandoned with a toss shouldn't count towards a players overall game tally? Not a ball was bowled, so it absolutely shouldn't count as an ODI appearance for anyone selected

Yeah, it should only be official as long as a legal ball is first bowled.

That's only for finals of special tournaments.
I'm not sure how far they can stretch it.

Reckon West Indies could be rogue contender in the upcoming WC and will at least be challenging for the semi-finals. Hugely competitive against England so far, and were to an extent against India in India as well (iirc, they lost the series 2-1 and tied one game didn't they?) Gayle, Hope, Hetymer, Russel (if he plays)Bravo etc. All very talented and capable,
Think more often than not the bowling is gonna hamper them though. Beyond Cotteral (and I'm only going off this one game here) and Holder, the attack is seriously docile, but on occasion I think their batting is gonna power them to massive scores against which the opposition will struggle to get near.

Mayb they are sending him a message to say you can't just decide you want to be included in the squad and then just waltz straight back into the xi. I would like to think that's what they have done and then include him in the side for the 5th odi
