    Buttler toss decisions always leave a lot to be desired. You'd have thought after their decision to field in the hot sun in 2023 didn't go well. They'd avoid doing that this time. But I suppose batting first twice this time failed. So why not mix up how your going to get beat.

    Banton at 3 and Root at 4 is the most sensible way we've lined up in ages. Brook at 5 and Buttler at 6 is a much better batting lineup.

    Root as the second spinner is absolutely farcical.

    Ahh the bat Banton at middle order tactic that didn't work the first time he played for England. Genius move Brendon :wallbash: If they were just going to pick the extra batsman/use Livingstone as second spinner they'd have been better picking Hain. Duckett Salt Root Hain Brook Buttler...

    Yep my thoughts exactly. It compounds it for me when he's just so blasé in his interviews. As Brendon coaching method is very much laissez-faire. It worries me nobody will sit him down and have the chat with him, about the fact he could be so much more than he is. He could be the best multi...

    True but Duckett mentality is an issue in both formats. You live by the sword die by the sword approach has worked well for him. But he gives away his wicket far too much. Does he want to play match winning innings or just keep setting it up for others. A great or just simply a good player...

    Wood took wickets to help us win a World Cup though. Willey was turfed out cos of Archer. David Willey is to blame for his career not going the way it should have. Guy was more than capable with the bat could have even opened for England. But he failed pretty much every chance he ever got...

    They picked Overton in the finisher role with the bat rather than the ball. As he's been the best at doing that in franchise cricket for any England player. As the article says Curran can't play that role and it's why he got turfed out. So far Joverton has only had one innings like he has been...

    The Root ship has definitely sailed as far as the T20. I can't seen McCullum bringing him back after 6 years. Curran ain't good enough to get in as a bowler so he needs prove himself as one of England best 6 batsman. Maybe he should turn out for Surrey more in the CC if he wants to become the...

    Rehan was picked after 12 FC wickets and Bashir 10. Farhan has 25 FC wickets. The quality of scalps and where they were taken a factor for me too. Farhan 3 Sri Lankan test players on his FC debut at Worcester and 10fer at Trent Bridge against the County Champions. Both harder places for spin...

    Not watching but Buttler is a **** captain his decision making at the toss is questionable a lot of the time.

    England lose by an innings and 10 runs. But on the plus side a run a ball 110 by Ben McKinney for his second FC century. Big season ahead for him as I think he can get himself on the plane as a reserve batsman for the Ashes if he continues his trajectory. He's like a left handed Crawley at the...

    I'm assuming it's just to help him with captaincy and one less job to do. But we're weaker with him not opening the batting(Salt with no doubt now have a stormer) He's been superb against the Windies but below par against everyone else. Salt record in T20I Span Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF...
