I'm not sure they have ever favoured Lancashire spinners?
I think Livingstone is fine, but I wouldn't mind seeing Jacks trialled as a finisher in this cycle. Plenty of top order options so if he could bowl a little bit more and perform in that role too it'd make him a more useful squad option.
Yeah this could work.
That is an insane batting lineup 3 to 8. Ridiculous power. The bowling attack may be problematic though.
No issue with Livingstone at seven in the T20s. You don't really need him to come off that often, and he'll contribute with the ball/in the field even if he doesn't bat. Jacks should open if he's playing. If you have Jacks and Livingstone, then you can play Curran at eight, which is a better batting position for him really.
Salt/Jacks is more of a T20 pairing. I'm not convinced either of them have it in them to play a long enough innings in ODI's before doing something stupid. The irony of course is that one of them will no doubt drop down tonight to allow Buttler to open.
Buttler batted in the middle order in the summer tbf
I’m sure they can make back any amount of runs they give away.
England's line up looks a lot better for the T20s.
Formidable, on paper.
