****Official Australia in England 2020 (Non-Ashes)*****

[Groundking]

I see that none of the England test players are playing the T20's vs Pakistan. Are they playing the T20's vs Australia? Is Stokes available or still in NZ?

I imagine Root, Butler and Stokes would walk into the T20 side but I can't see the squad published anywhere?

Root doesn't get into our strongest T20 side.

Root doesn't get into our strongest T20 side.

Tosh.

 

[Groundking]

Tosh.

If he plays he has to bat top 3, but we've got Bairstow, Roy, Malan, Buttler and Banton who all want to bat there and the differential in terms of how fast they bat is simply too large to justify having Root in the team.

Timing haha.

 

[theegyptian]

jinx

 

[theegyptian]

Willey pretty hard done by imo.

Seemed to have found his swing again vs Ireland, bowled with good pace and contributed well with the bat. Yes it was only Ireland who aren't the strongest but still.

At this moment I'd certainly have Willey ahead of Sam Curran. They are probably looking more long term, but I'd still question the decision.

 

[ImpatientLime]

sam curran at his pace is so hittable in white ball cricket.

 

[Nintendo]

Curran over Willey in ODI squad is odd considering his form vs Ireland. Is Willey injured or something.

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't think there's really anything to separate Scurran and Willey's bowling on principle, but agree he's been harshly treated

 

[Nintendo]

Willey is a bit faster then curran and swings it more, doesn't he? Wiley's death bowling is garbage but does that matter with archer and wood in the squad.

 

[chris.hinton]

Interesting squads, There is a case for a few other players but in fairness we do have a good deal of depth in this formats

 

[grecian]

In the end as all the comms say this side is totally picked on whom Morgan trusts, so almost seems pointless to discuss it, as he's done quite well for us. He clearly does not "trust" the likes of Willey, Topley, Hain, Brown, so they're not in, even though they'd all be in amongst replacements at least for me, except maybe Brown. I guesss he hopes the pace of Wood, Archer, plus Curran gives us more variety than the hideously samey attack yesterday, and he maybe right.

 

[Pothas]

Have no paid any attention to this series happening until now but it should actually be pretty fun.

 

[Burgey]

Rare to see a whole squad with one player being the sole rep for the letters D to Q of the alphabet. And he’s skipper too.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Denly still? Why

 

[Daemon]

Poor choice of bowlers imo.

Neither of the Currans are that good and neither is Saqib. Willey and Topley must be peeved.

 

[Shady Slim]

Denly still? Why

nah denners is Actually Decent

would do no worse for the england test side than root on current form but the world is not yet ready for that conversation tbh
