He should be batting at seven in this line up and as long as you have another batter who bowls, like Jacks, that's fine. Livingstone is replacing Mo. His returns won't be consistent but he'll contribute in either discipline in one way or another.

Livingstone can't really do the moeen role with the ball though. Mo worked so well because despite not taking wickets, his econ was 5.3. England had worked out a way to fairly consistently go at ~6 an over from 10 to 35 while batting, and moeen+rashid where able to keep opponents to a slightly slower RR (and take wickets in rashid's case) while plunkett hammered away the back of a length balls with 3 fielders on the fence for the 6 attempts. Moeen bowled in 92% of the ODI's he played and averaged 7 overs a game, so far livingstone has bowled in 76% of his odi's and averaged 4 overs a game while going at 0.4 runs an over more than moeen.

Add to that the fact that rashid is no longer taking wickets, and england don't have a plunkett replacement, and it becomes a lot harder to see livingstone filling in the hole moeen did witht he ball, despite a better bowling average.

Btw anyone know what's happened to TGC? They haven't released anything since the Olympics

I'm missing their thoughts on Trav Head's bin lid, Cummins's looks and Zampa's rogueness

Heads innings was how englanders would like to bat. Brook didnt see it that way, but our batters failed against an attack lacking Cummins Hazel and Starc.

Australia now very close to becoming ICC #1 in ODI's, which would make it #1 team for Test & ODI (#2 for T20I)

...meanwhile England are fighting to keep their #7 spot in ODI's, just ahead of Bangladesh (and Afghanistan)

If you won the WC less than 12 months ago you’re the number one side, regardless of any rankings which try to assert the contrary.

Well that's interesting, Green dropped?

Maxwell, Starc and Hazlewood back, Green, Dwarshuis and Abbott out.

Basically becomes Short and Hardie preferred to Green. Maybe it's because Short is opening and Hardie is again nominated as the 3rd seamer

Tidy start by Potts and Stone, but I suspect that England need a couple of wickets with the new ball.

EDIT
As I was saying ...

Hardie over Green is a very interesting call. I would have thought Green the superior in all 3 disciplines quite comfortably.
