🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England v New Zealand 🇳🇿 3rd ODI - The Oval

[Jack Torrance]

Ali, rashid, Curran, woakes, wood, topley

First choice attack?

It will be Curran or Ali at 7, I’d go Curran personally

 

[mackembhoy]

yeah we defs do like

you need more bowlers and options, and changes if someone is targetted etc

Yes but you could have Livingstone Curran Woakes Wood Rashid Another seamer and Root.

So still 7 bowling options.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

It will be Curran or Ali at 7, I’d go Curran personally

Ali will play every game like

 

[mackembhoy]

Ali will play every game like

Is he still Vice Captain?

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Yes but you could have Livingstone Curran Woakes Wood Rashid Another seamer and Root.

So still 7 bowling options.

Ah I see what you mean yeah

I dont think Root's bowling is strong enough, I like him in test arena the odd spell, and eve T20s he can get away with it

but think he will get exposed

Is he still Vice Captain?

he is yeah

 

[Hongkongphooey]

They are in the right on this thread mind.

One of them is just back from another ban, you'd think they would have learnt a lesson by now

 

[Jack Torrance]

Ali will play every game like

Fair enough, I like Moeen but I’d back Curran to have a bigger impact with bat and ball.

 

[scotch]

Ali, rashid, Curran, woakes, wood, Archer

First choice attack?

 

[MustardAndOnions]

now that looks a lot better!

 

[Classic94]

I’d go with this 11:

Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Livingstone, Ali, Curran, Woakes, Rashid, Wood.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

Fair enough, I like Moeen but I’d back Curran to have a bigger impact with bat and ball.

Aye sorry seemed dismissive, more just he will play every game, bet me ex lasses house on it, rather than my personal view

I think both will play, listening to Buttler and Mott talk they want as much batting depth as possible so they can go extra hard

I’d go with this 11:

Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Livingstone, Ali, Curran, Woakes, Rashid, Wood.

Yeah snap I think mate

Probs only play Wood when I have to, I reckon he will play half the games in total, obvioulsy every knock out game

 

[Silly Point]

Pad first for me that like

 

[Hyltons finest]

Erm, is that not pad first

 

[Silly Point]

Justice there

 

[Brett]

This umpire got nothing right

 

[Leon Solent]

Pad first. They're wrong.

 

[Hyltons finest]

Hahahah ffs

 

[McGregor]

Forgot all about this match. Been to work all day. Thought I'd see what the SMBs opinions were on the match. There was very little talked about this particular match.

Lots of petty bitching like.

I thought it was wrong to drop Brook because Stokes decided he fancied a bit of a bat. But if he performs like this in the world cup then I'll eat my words quite gladly.

 

[Aidan11]

NZ finally pass Ben Stokes total.

 

[mackembhoy]

I’d go with this 11:

Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Livingstone, Ali, Curran, Woakes, Rashid, Wood.

Imagine that will be the team
