No one ever got rich overestimating an English cricket team is all I'll say.I mean, if England or Australia can miss qualifying from this group; they should just give up their Test status.....
Can confirm all three games now. Still considering Namibia OmanAm going the Eng/Aus game and probably Scotland too. May go and cheer Oman on V Aus. Exciting times
Livingstone is the one for me who is largely stealing a spot, not really done anything recently to suggest he should be selected.Good to see the great man back; just hope it's not premature.
No Root or Malan is, um, definitely a choice. Surely at least one of them is a better bet than Hartley, Jacks or Livingstone? Root's and Malan's slow stuff doesn't lose too much in comparison (especially the former's) with that served up by them either.
It is powerful, yes. But the South Africa batting line-up does match up to this in terms of firepower.England's squad is powerful. It will take some effort for any team to stop England successfully defending the crown. The batting line up is power-packed with modern ultra aggressive T20 players.
Buttler
Salt
Brook
Duckett
Bairstow
Livingstone
Jacks
Are all dynamite batsmen. No team can better that firepower- match it, possibly.
The bowling has extreme pace [Wood, Archer], a leggie of substance [Adil] etc etc.
He can be a decent #4 for you but he is not a 5-7 finisher.Interesting we left out young the McJerk but picked old ones in Wade and Warner. Still looks an old squad to me.
I know he's biffed a few in the IPL but is Stoinis any good these days in T20s? Or am I confusing it with him being garbage in ODIs? Or is it both?
Hasn't scored a 50 in last 10 T20i, and has only one fifty in last 34 matches (since March 2021). It was a 59* off only 18 balls thoughI know he's biffed a few in the IPL but is Stoinis any good these days in T20s? Or am I confusing it with him being garbage in ODIs? Or is it both?
McJerk is a potential match winner, him and Head could be lethal. Just don’t see what Warner brings now, that he’s been dropped by his IPL team sums it up.Interesting we left out young the McJerk but picked old ones in Wade and Warner. Still looks an old squad to me.
