England thread

Close enough

I'm going to go a bit outside the box with a England XI from that squad

Buttler
Malan
Root
Bairstow (wk)
Stokes
Moeen
Curran
Woakes
Wood
Rashid
Topley

Think that is the perfect blend of power hitters and accumulators

Quite a disappointing line up. If they were all available for Australia I'd only pick Root and Buttler, the rest wouldn't make the team. Bairstow maybe if he could pass a beep test and we had an injury or 2

Apart from the fact 7 of them were in the team which smashed Australia in the semi in 2019.

Blimey Gregory not getting in that side either. His last ODI series seems to be utterly forgotten.

In fairness we might need another pace off the ball option for India.....

Not that it's relevant, but that Aus team was weaker than it is now, England lost more games than Aus that tournament anyway, and most of those Poms were in peak form then but aren't now

Both teams lost 3.

England also tied one so that counts as more

you really are a buffoon of the highest order

A tie is half a loss everyone knows that

TJBreplybot when

 

[danzydab]

I think topley and woakes should open the bowling, but moeen at no. 6 could be risky and he needs to score some runs.

 

[Shri]

Should Buttler open given his insane record in the death overs

 

[Max D]

Brook not in squad. Surely that's a typo.

 

[slippy888]

Harry Brook average 30 in list a cricket, so why everyone shocked he never get picked

Do you think Billy Root should have been picked?

 

[Qlder]

Haha, Brook not in ODI squad but just hit 105* in 42 balls in the hundred lol

The guy is something special. Move Malan or someone else if needed.

They actually lost that game YJB! The umpires cheated to help them tie #BatGate
