Forecast has it lingering until around 7 now and OT is a notoriously slow drying ground at the best of times. Can’t see them getting a game on tbh
This forecast looks great:

edit - I mean relatively, will take a lot of work to dry the ground out.
Looking forward to seeing Banton at the top of the order, every time watched him for Somerset in shorter format looks very talented young boy,

Gregory can be expensive but really useful lower order bat.
Yeah, Banton looks a prospect. I've only seen Gregory play for England that I remember, got a bit of convincing to do for me.

Better than it looked an hour or so ago aye
 
All opinions mate, I personally just cannot see the forward planning in picking denly. If he was a brilliant player fair enough but there is zero upside to picking a player of his age with so many holes in his game.

Forward planning for a T20 world cup this year, and next?

As I said, wouldnt get in my squad, but its not an outrageous pick like
He's not an international T20 cricketer, never has been, never will be.

Tell that to Eoin Morgan then, as he wants him in
T20I batting stats:

Denly: Av 9.6, SR: 96.97
Vince: Av 28.23, SR 123.64
Hales: Av 31.02, SR 134.42
Bopara: Av 28.44, SR 116.75

He's done well in BBL, PSL, but no better than the others I have listed. If age is no issue, get Bopara in there - he's a good bowler in this format.

Hales should be in like, but for non critkceting reasons

Vince has had to many chances, can't complain he has been dropped

Bopara v Denly is the only fair comparison
Hales has got more ability to destroy attacks more than the other two imo and in T20 Strike rate as important as average, somebody who only averages 30 but scores that 30 very quick at the top of the order gets that team of to a great start in T20.

Just my opinion but Hales is a better player than the other two

Oh by a country mile

Also they need to get Root back in the side like, he has barely played the format last few years, but this idea he has behind the likes of Banton is nonsense

In big tournaments you need big players and he will deliver like he has done in last 2 ICC ones.

Buttler needs to move down, they just need to pick the world cup side really, bar Willey for Plunkett

No need to complicate it, that is the best side
