When was the last time he changed a game for England or Lancs?

Well he definitely had a decent run last year against India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. So a year, probably.

I look forward to his match winning innings this summer.
We‘re half way through already.
Not entirely sure that proves your point that he's a fraud or disputes me saying he's hit & miss. He was shite today but I had sympathy as he was trying to do something quickly - Roy took a lot of balls to do fuck all.

When was the last time Livingstone won a game for England or Lancs?
Roy has change in the bank, Livingstone hits 2-3 6s and gets out.
After an unnecessary detour to CricInfo, start of June he top scored for Lancs in a win, for England probably last year against Pakistan. He was also named in the team of the tournament for the IPL. Like I said though, he's hit & miss.
Odd years he has been good for Lancashire, evens not so good.

If you could pick him or Root for your T20 World Cup side, who would you pick?
Root. Every side needs players like Root or Malan to score quickly without having to rely on big shots, while the people at the other end are going big. Not sure that would be the selection dilemma though

We shall see. Livingstone seems to have mesmerised people because he can hit a long ball.

Completely different roles in the team? If Root was to get in the T20 team it would be at the expense of Malan imo as the role of anchor keeping the innings together, Livingstone and Moeen are in that team to come in and go at 300+ strike rate, sometimes they'll look a world beater, sometimes they'll look daft but more often than that they'll hit a quick 25.
Livingstone had a great world cup last winter and a was in the IPL TOTY, with Morgan stepping down and Stokes probably stepping away he seems the natural fit to come in there - the pressure will be on but he's shown enough over the past 12 months that he can do it I think.

Fair enough. Time will tell. He’s too one dimensional for me. Any ball movement and his technique fails him.

May as well not qualify getting 1/5 and then missing 4 for finals day. Shocking Gleeson was not in the XI either but can't play as they want him for net practice.

It’s absolutely scandalous the way they treat the fans and players of the T20, especially as the T20 World Cup is in October.

I dont mind losing,however its 20 overs if our England players cant play 2 t20 games in two days sad state of affairs,not that they all would be playing fo England any way.You would think the Ecb would want the best players at Finals day.
Not looking forward to watching Lamb contribute nothing tonight.
They did it to livingstone 2 years ago, picked him in the squad but he played for neither England or Lancashire and sets them back a month while everyone else is match hardened.

They should just cancel the Blast if they’re going to do this with it.
