There's no way Ali will bat 4, Curran is in with a shout.
No point taking Mills and not playing him. Imagine he has a great tournament would put him in contention to do a Shaun tait role in the next 50 over world cup if he felt up to it. Wouldn't need to play every game just a few and not even bowl 10 if we got 7 or 8 too overs from him.

I would be tempted to put Livingstone higher in the order the way he has been playing.

And open with Bairstow

I dont agree on Livingstone actually, reason being is that number 6 is actually one of the hardest spots on T20, the ability to come in and hit a 6 immediately against an older ball is hard. We have struggled there. Stokes couldnt do it.

I reckon thats his real skill, not sure he will get consistent big scores, but I an see him getting like 20 off 8 which could win games.

I wouldnt play Malan like, thatsjust me, regardless of his record. I'd play Root, but if not, well obviously not, Bairstow at 3.

Dont get why they promoted Buttler...Bairstow is a better opener in all white forms, they say the logic is that Roy cant shuffled down, but Bairstow can, I guess.

I didn’t bring the Hundred up here to be fair - simply responded to say I have no idea how anyone (not even sure whether the reply was referring to Mills or Billing tbh) performed in the tournament as I didn’t watch any of it. So not sure why the need for the snarky replies 🤷‍♂️

Listen we all know what you meant by your original remark on the back of what I wrote. So petty are most of you on this part of the board. I merely stared an opinion and you are all over it as you don’t recognise the new tournament.

:lol:

f***ing hell put your toys back in the pram man.

How else would you like me to tell you that I cannot comment on Mills or Billings in the hundred as I didn’t watch it, without actually saying ‘I didn’t watch it’.

No pettiness at all, I simply responded to say - I didn’t watch it :lol:

Not a problem. I know that when I replied all I meant was whichever player you were talking about, I wasn’t aware of their performance because I hadn’t watched any of it. Without ignoring your comment, I’m not sure how else I’m meant to say that.

But aye, it’s friday….I’m not here for an argument with a long standing decent poster. Enjoy your weekend

I recognize it, I just didn’t watch it

not out of any protest like it just didn’t appeal to me

Whichever way people look at it though a bowler performing well in it, is a good indication of whether he can perform in T20 internationals in the same way a bowler bowling well in the blast is.

I think T20 and the hundred are extremely similar so it makes sense to me that if somebody likes one of them they would like both
