Pakistan v England T20s


It appears this England team with the long tail they have decided just go hard all of the time.

In this format you have to take the rough with the smooth, more often than not this team will come out on top with the team they have.

When it doesn’t no point slagging the team off
 
Such a contrast between them and the Indians
No real dodgy umpire decisions I can remember either or cheating 3rd umpire video footage
Ben Stokes is as much of an issue in that regard as Malan is.
It's why I'd only have him open....but personally he doesnt make the best XI for me, England have him at 4 though and I hope he makes some good scores that contribute to winning the tournament

No smug sycophantic commentary whenever a home player so much as edges one down to third man for 1
 
Just my opinion and can see why his T20 record means some don’t want Stokes in their side.

But he would be in my side every day of the week, he is born winner and big occasion player!

Just not for England in this format so far I'm not against him playing but it sends the wrong message out if he's getting in on name alone

Not sure it does tbh, totally see and get your argument stats wise, so difficult to argue with your rationale.

However for world cups and big moments you need people who stand up when the pressure is on, he is certainly one of them for me.
