Pakistan v England T20s

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.

I don't think it's just stats wise imagine if you are a brook or someone else who has been playing well and you get left out for someone who hasn't done it in this format for us, mind we all know stokes is more than capable I just don't think he's in our best team, if he's in the squad he will play mind

Top score of 47 in this format, I dont think he betters that batting at 4.
Buttler
Hales (though I have sneaky suspicion Salt may get the gloves so Buttler has 1 less thing to concentrate on)
Malan (needs to up his strike rate for me, Hales has shown he can perform at 3 too)
Stokes (shouldn't be at 4, but England have announced it publicly, not even sure he should be in the team)
Brook
Ali (in form and should bat 6 at this time)
Livingstone (7 is low but if they are after a 10-15 ball cameo, top 6 gets licence to really go aggressive knowing he can bat 4/5 overs if needs be at the end)
8-11 (Rashid, Wood, Woakes, Topely) (Jordan to rotate in and out)
