What I feel like England have done well over the last 5 or 6 years in both white ball formats is they've not just hit lots of boundaries but run brilliantly. Guys like Butter, Bairstow, and to a lesser extent Roy and Root. With Malan, Ali and Morgan in this team you've got 3 slow runners these days. Really don't want 2 of the slow runners in at the same time like today especially as all 3 are left handed.
Thinking ahead to next year. Bowling certainly benefit from Archer's return if that happens. Still other than him lacking quality options. We seem to keep Jordan around because he's a specialist in 20 over and death bowling combined with good fielding/lower order batting but that might have to be the end of his career.
Stokes for Ali would offer more in Australia you'd think given Ali's intolerance to the ball above the hip, and Livingstone's emergence as a allrounder. Morgan too is vulnerable given he doesn't like the short stuff and his boundary hitting is on the wane although the harder wickets of Australia may be more suited to him.
For world t20 2022 in Aus? Buttler, Roy, Stokes/Malan, Bairstow, Morgan, Livingstone, S Curran, Wood, Rashid, Archer, ?Anderson/another lol.
