India v England 1st ODI

[Jack Torrance]

Fair play marra, play him at least though. Have someone else as captain. I know Buttler isn't the most vocal, but who else is there? Stokes hasn't really set the T20 world alight, albeit with a diminished role.

Morgan deserves to be our captain in both white ball formats, he’s been brilliant

I agree, but I do think he's disappearing up his own arse a bit. And I worry about the impact that'll have on how we go about things.

I'm more concerned about his form in the middle order, looks a shadow of himself. Regards his captaincy, how long can he ride the wave of the WC victory in 2019?

Gets the India World Cup at least for me. I guess the difference now is that we’re going into a World Cup as the favourites so a poor overall performance might mean changes. For me he is still one of our best white ball players so I’m not really worried about his form

 

[SAFC11]

Morgan will be going 37 by the next 50over world cup, so I think he will probably be out of the squad by that point

Morgan hasn’t played particularly well recently, but he hasn’t actually played much cricket

He deserves all the credit in the world for his leadership, people forget how crap we were when he took over

Can you imagine the furore over a captain like Mike Brearley. Clearly a great leader but not the most technically gifted

Fair play marra, I said the same, give him the WC and then get him peddled. Except if we win it of course

Have to agree to disagree there though. You're only as good as your last series, and he was worse than dog shit in the 5 T20 series we just played. Which we would have won if our captain marvel was in any decent nick.

He is a good captain: calm, inspirational and creative. On reflection, I think his outburst of bollocks the other day was really an attempt to put a positive spin on a careless batting display.

 

[Silly Point]

Morgan and Billings out. Livingstone and a/n other in. Buttler to captain

I'd like to see Topley get a chance.

 

[Silly Point]

I'd like to see Topley get a chance.

Agreed, in place of one of the Currans

 

[Jack Torrance]

I'd like to see Topley get a chance.

And Parkinson - would like to see what depth we have. Not really bothered if we get hammered last 2 games, I don’t think it means much

 

[TheRey]

I thought he was a waster of a signing, but he was really good for us last year.

 

[scaly_piscine]

Yea, be nice to see some new faces. Particularly if it means fewer Currans.

 

[Boo]

Great in the field, too.

Hoping for Malan, Livingstone and Topley in for Tom Curran and the injured pair. Expecting something irrational like Sam batting at 6
