Stokes out of World Cup

Surely Livingstone was in the team anyway?

Buttler
Roy/Bairstow
Malan
Morgan
Stokes
Livingstone
Ali
Woakes
Jordan
Rashid

If we play with 10 we’d be accused of arrogance tbf

Genuinely wouldn't have him in the team anyway. Obviously he'd be in the squad, but if it helps his mental and physical recovery I'd rather he didn't go.

Had Mahmood/Woakes as the 11 and wood as my 10 intially.

Then was like nah I'd have Woakes in definitely. Clearly didn't check my post before submitting.

I'd have Root too but not a chance he's getting taken.

 

[Voice of fair play]

The one I would definitely do which they probably will not is open with Bairstow.

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Given the choice, I'd prefer him to be physically and mentally fit and well for the Ashes. If it means missing the T20's to do so, I'm fine with that.

 

[Jack Torrance]

The one I would definitely do which they probably will not is open with Bairstow.

Agreed. He’s a better white ball player than Roy, Bairstow is wasted when he bats at 4

He looked really really good at the IPL and top of the order between him and Roy would go for Bairstow like you say
