Opened the batting too
This is the way he has to go, if he can, he needs to be a genuine all rounder

Played some nice shots as well, mostly proper strokes. He looks like he could be a top order batsman to me.
Bowled really well there but why did the captain not use up all of Curran's overs? Seems a bit odd.
Agreed proper shots, to be fair first game he looked cannon fodder, and I myself was doubting if he would play much
I think thats a better role personally, open the batting and bowl when he can. He can bowl a good yorker, problem is when its not swinging early on high class batsman can get after him
But that was class, what a way to announce yourself!

Going all Danny Morrison here but it really has been T20 at its best so far. Other years it's been a bit repetitive with sides chasing just about anything but you've had a good mix of results this year and games nearly always go to the last over with the result in the balance. Usually been of a high quality but not always, the collapse last night for example, but that makes it better imo (not that you'll get Morrison and co admitting the poor cricket has been poor mind)
Archer is quite hit and miss from what I’m watching
He’s quicker like but doesn’t seem massively accurate
Not getting in my World Cup team as it stands
So bad that collapse
They haven’t shown or mentioned the mankad once since it happened!

Disagree about Archer. He’s been very consistent playing across the world in various limited overs tournaments and I would have him in the team if it’s picked on merit. Mind you, I wouldn’t argue too much if the selectors decided to keep this group together.
He doesn’t get it on merit wasn’t great in the big bash
Wood woakes and plunkett are ahead of him.
He’s not even played an ODI

Bloody hell mate, what kind of an argument is that? He's made his intentions to play for England clear and he's only just about qualified, so of course he hasn't played any international cricket.
Every bowler in world cricket is going to have T20 games where go around the park but Archers record in multiple tournaments over the space of a few years proves imo that he's a top class bowler. Personally, I'd have him in my side, 90+ mph, usually very good control with decent variations. He may be behind the bowlers you mention at the minute but given the chance I feel he'll force his way ahead of at least a couple of them in the pecking order.
Eh? What you mean what type of argument is that
I’d have woakes, plunkett and wood ahead of him. What’s wrong with that? They’re good bowlers

You posted 'he's not even played an ODI' as if he's even had a chance.
The second part is fair enough it's your opinion that the other bowlers are better.

No I didn’t
I was meaning people saying he should be in the side are just basing it off a few t20 games
I’m having him in the squad but just think it’s bit premature to say should be in team
