Ironic if Denly ends up getting a ton here mind as the innings he's playing is almost like a test innings.
Hains problem is he has a Joe Root shaped problem to getting into the team. In that he's a brilliant number 3 who plays like root and anchors the innings.
Not sure why Pope hasn't been mentioned at all in white ball discussions, as I first saw him play some interesting scoops etc in the t20 stuff for surrey.
Denly and Banton playing 5/6 doesn't make sense when they are destructive players opening in t20 cricket. Again Roy/Bairstow shaped problems there
5 out of the 11 that won the world cup
Gone very top heavy with the batting quality and longer tail than normal

I guess when you add Buttler and Stokes for Curran and denly it looks a lot better

Match winning performance by Carse in Australia for the Lions.

Denly selection really is baffling when Plunkett deemed surplus to requirements and only a year older.
Despite him anchoring this innings. Plunkett middle over bowling has been utterly vital to us.
Why does he qualify for England anyway?

I think he has served his qualification time. He originally came over here as the overseas pro at Burnmoor and then Durham offered him an Academy contract but that must be 5 years ago at least.

Aye but he must have some british heritage to not be a Kolpak
If he doesn't shouldn't be playing for England to be honest.

Yeah he will probably have access to a British passport by some means. I know for the last 2 or 3 years he has wintered in the UK so he serves his quota of days in this country per annum to qualify for England.
As far as being English I would like to have been a fly on the wall when he watched the rugby world cup final.
Massively in the balance. If SA start well they’ll be rightful favourites.

Nah bowling line up is poor to what it should be. No Plunkett/Rashid/Moeen in the middle overs is crazy.

Van Der dussen been excellent so far in ODI's, had a great world cup.
Miller blows so hot and cold you never know which one will turn up. But if he does then he's excellent.
Rest of the batters are unknowns in ODI's we've certainly not played against them. Long tail mind with 4 number 11s in the side.

Why didn't we pick Moeen if we were gonna see Root on so early
Sam Curran shouldn't be opening the bowling in ODI's like. Bring David Willey back if you want a left armer opening bowler.
