With all known form to hand I would like to see, at this stage, this as our World Cup starting line up:
Roy Banton Malan Morgan Stokes Buttler Ali Curran (T) Rashid Archer Wood
For me Buttler has to open with Roy. Morgan and Stokes the finishers. Stokes and Moeen your all rounders. Rashid your other spinner. And 3 from any number of other quicks.
Something like this?
Buttler
Roy
Banton
Bairstow
Morgan
Stokes
Moeen
Jordan/Tom/Sam/Woakes
Rashid
Wood
Archer
Maybe harsh on Malan/Hales/Root/Denly and that before you get to Vince/Billings/Livingston/Salt/Evans
Any one from Parkinson/ Crane/ Dawson as backup spinner.
Willey/ Mahmood/ Brown/ Gregory/ Gurney and even Plunkett are other quick bowling options.
Plenty to choose from there. I have no idea at this stage.
Jordan is far from being my favourite cricketer but he is world class when it comes to taking a catch
As a Sussex supporter, I would agree that he is a decent County player but not international standard - indeed, he had a pretty average season last year in all formats for Sussex. As for his catching, whether it is at slip or out in the deep, there are not many better on the planet.
3 from 2 sounds easy and I’m sure teams get em more often than not but we failed to get them yesterday we failed in the World Cup Final NZ also failed to get them in the World Cup Final pretty sure NZ failed against India last week as well .

He always seems to step up a level in the bug moments for England though. Particularly in T20s.
Always lole to see yet another Surrey academy player in an england shirt too.

South Africa win the toss and bowl first
Outrageous shots
204 England got
think I heard commentator say highest chase in 20/20 international at this ground is 158
Easier said than done though
He just isnt quite good enough for me at this level.
