    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.

    Moeen  is playing the innings of his life.
    Outrageous shots

    Ali !! .. probably won it for us ? .. perfect 20/20 innings
  • oohaahmortimer

    39 off 11 balls mental 

    204 England got 

    think I heard commentator say highest chase in 20/20 international at this ground is 158

    Must admit I am not normally a moeen fan but that was a joy to watch..when he is on form he really does have a lovely swing of the bat

    Not convinced Denly is the sort of person who want coming in with 5 overs left

    Whoever decided to put him in front of Moeen needs a kick up the arse

    Get de Kock out early and it's game over. 
    Easier said than done though

    Denly can’t bat below 3 in T20s

    Yeah Denly has 3 T20 tons but gotta bat higher.

    Trouble is there are probably 7 or 8 players ahead of him to bat in the top 3 though. 

    He just isnt quite good enough for me at this level.

    Absolute dross being bowled at the momement.  Saffers will have this done and dusted within 18 overs at this rate

    De Kock gets his 50 off 17 balls. Won the game potentially
