Yeah mate but batsman heavy. Just look at all those six hitters. We'd make 400 every game lol

Chris Jordan should be nowhere near the 50 over team.

I kind of agree mate but he does bring a lot to the table. Fielding, death bowling and the occasional six. Defo a 2020 player.

Okay. So we drop him for........

 

[Dexter]

Squad will be:

Roy
Bairstow
Root
Morgan
Buttler
Stokes
Ali
Woakes
Plunkett
Rashid
Wood

Hales
Willey
Archer
T Curran

I reckon we'll struggle with our bowling and all three of the reserves will get a go at some point.
