England Squad v Ireland ODIs

[andymulesafc]

Hope there is no collapse like the other day. Great innings by Malan.

Posted in wrong thread! Doh!

Brook withdraws after called upto WC Squad
Root will play the 1st

 

[Silly Point]

Wonder how many 70 quid (at least) tickets the Yorkies have sold for this. Can't be many surely

madness that price

Aye they were sending out begging emails a month or so ago. You could pay it in installments apparently!

 

[Hettonlass]

Is that why Root is playing on home soil to get more to buy the tickets?

They'll need to resurrect Trueman and reverse Boycott's age by 50 years to have a chance of that I think

Joe Root rested for the final 2 games, Tom Kohler-Cadmore replaces him in the squad

So he needed to play for form but now he's like nah.

Can only assume we fly out on monday or something. So he gets a weekend at home with his family before going out to India.

Just been reading Jason Roy has basically refused to play for England v Ireland. Turning down the chance. Toys out the pram ?

 

[Aidan11]

I don't blame him.

Loses his place in the WC squad for a lad who is relatively untried at ODI level and they offer him some games in a 2nd XI series.

A bit of an insult in my opinion.

Didn't Roy turn down some form of contract with England to go and earn more money in America or have I got the completely wrong bloke?

He did but he was still available for England.

It shouldn't be a bar to him being picked though.

He probably shouldn't have been picked in the first place. Just my imo but I'd choose brook over Roy every time.

Admittedly Roy's form has been less than great over the last two years but I'd have picked him for his experience. He's got to find his touch again some time and hopefully it would have happened in the WC.

Roy scored 2 hundreds from 6 innings this year with a top score of 132. Brook has 125 from 6 knocks.

Roy is massively unfortunate I wrongly assumed his fitness was why he was dropped.

I guess the logic taken is Stokes can't play every game so Brook will come in at 4 when he can't play. But could just have easily moved Malan to 4 and Roy to open in that case.

Just been reading about Cadmore, i guess 4 years and he's served his time just like Hales
