Buttler looks like trouble going into the WC.
In this form he is (almost) like Viv.

England's bowling is utterly mediocre. The batting is great for sure but 4-5 look iffy. Brook is still raw and Bairstow is not a #4. Pakistan need to pull the plug on Shadab but that's a pretty great bowling attack otherwise, I don't know what you're smoking if you think Shaheen-Amir-Rauf-Imad is mid.
SSA is quality. Rauf is just quick - lacks control and bowlig IQ but with his raw pace I can see why he is picked as an X factor bowler, Amir is a trundler now. Imad does his job admirably.

Shame he couldn't make his ton but a great innings from Jos. We need him firing so much, as our WC defense showed.
It is the weaker half of England's game, yes.

In the game that I'm watching Rauf outfoxed both Buttler and Bairstow and only went for 16 off 3 overs after his first which he should not have bowled in the power play.
You dont get to ignore the terrible over. That's not how it works. He is quick, he is a genuine trier but he is limited in his bowling IQ.

Yeah, Pakistan's bowling, is actually really good, are's isn't awful though, if we can get one of Archer or Wood fit, Topley is alright and Rashid is class. Yeah a lot of bit's and pieces rubbish from the rest, but you can't forget last World Cup from Sam Curran. It's always a weakness for us, but it's not as bad as it is.

He still went for just 34 and took 2 wickets. He's not a power play bowler at all. Bowling him in the first 6 is a tactical error. And did you miss the part where he deceived a well set and blazing Buttler on 84 with a clever change up, or what.
I watched it. When you're quick, a change of pace is obviousy potentially effective.

Amir looks far from being a trundler, especially in this format
Bowling late 70s to low 80s is trundler pace. He could have been so special but for his greed. Sad times those were.

Welcome back Archer.

Amir just needs to not go for runs in this attack and he does that well. Shaheen is gonna pick up a new ball wicket more often than not. Think we've restricted England to a chaseable total despite Shadab's efforts. He needs to get runs today or get dropped.

Don't Pak pick the Harry Potter lookalike for T20s? Obviously a better bowling option than Shadab.
