I really don’t think he cuts it and with Ali and 5 seamers also in the side his bowling is not needed.
With Morgan retiring I think Malan has to be in.

Yeah, he’s not got the technique to bat for very long. He could be a finisher of an innings and he improves his bowling.I really don’t think he cuts it and with Ali and 5 seamers also in the side his bowling is not needed.

Bumrah is some bowler though.

Livingstone being Livingstone again.
Just seen that one - mad thing to do in that situation.

He is, but when this England side say they were definitely going to bowl first as well, and you see deliveries like the one that got Root, I think the pitch is helping them a lot.

It generally only swings for 10 overs or so.He is, but when this England side say they were definitely going to bowl first as well, and you see deliveries like the one that got Root, I think the pitch is helping them a lot.
It might be that the pitch is doing loads and we bowl them out for 50, but I doubt it.
We need at least 2-3 players to defend when we need to defend.
Whilst every ball must go is an exciting philosophy, it was never going to work long term.

He’s nearly 29 too. He doesn’t seem to have been around long, but he’s pretty much in his peak years now. It’s doubtful his technique will improve dramatically in the future.Just seen that one - mad thing to do in that situation.

Are they still using 2 balls? If so, 20 overs is a fair amount of an innings.
