*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

Replace Curran with Pope and you're on the mark IMO.

Assuming Stokes is fit to bowl, Curran offers nothing more than the HB chutzpah you're high on after Crawley's double ton.

Nah.. think he can get the ball to reverse assuming we are off the covid related regulations by then. If not, yes, Pope is better as I also think he is one of the better players of spin in England. But then again, Buttler seems to be at his best at #6 than 7, so....

If the way that Pope played Yasir is indicative of his spin playing methods he's gonna have a torrid time against Jadeja.

Jason Roy is injured and out of the T20 series.

I was looking forward to seeing him at the top of the order! That is disappointing but England's LOs resources are deep. I hope Root pays (not sure if he will) but he has been a better LOs bat in the last couple years than test and I think it has been such a great format for him.

Root and anyone else who was in the Test bubble are not in this T20 squad.

I assume Livingstone will be promoted into the 14 from the standby list, would rather he got a game than Denly.

I wasn't sure how the squad bubbles were shaping up. I think I read Root will play the T20 blast and wantst o be back in the side (he really should), especially as Roy looks to be out. I don't think we can take this Pakistan T20 lightly, even though they aren't as good as a couple years ago.

 

[honestbharani]

Billings can open, right?

 

[honestbharani]

And is Hales still persona nongrata?

 

[wpdavid]

I think Banton opens for Somerset

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Yeah I'd be surprised if he plays for England again. Certainly don't see it happening while Morgan is captain.

 

[cricketsavant]

Morgan was making some noise earlier in the year/late last year about Hales having a way back if he proved himself. He should be allowed back, considering Stokes has been.

Root doesn’t score fast enough in t20. He shouldn’t be in the side.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Imad has a peculiar action. Practically bows in his delivery, but his arm remains vertical.

If he were a quick I think he'd have his chiropractor on speed dial.

Slow start from England anyway.

It's the fact he lied to Morgan more than once about the coke that is why bridges are burnt

Good knock that, tons of power. Looks prototypical T20 opener.

 

[MW1304]

Mo is never going to hit a good innings for England ever again is he.

 

[trundler]

Rizwan is good isn't he

Averages 15 in t20I with the bat. I wasn’t expecting much from him that’s for sure.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, proper keeper, the boy.

Usually bats 7 or 8, so that doesn't tell you much tbh
