sage Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-9374049/DAVID-LLOYD-Joe-Root-missing-link-England-bring-T20-World-Cup.html Quote It's been fantastic to watch this England side in the Twenty20 internationals but I reckon there’s a missing link who would enhance their chances of winning this year’s World Cup. Joe Root hasn’t played T20 for England for almost two years but I would bring him back for the tournament in India in October and I believe Eoin Morgan will do that. Root is England’s best player of spin — he’s inventive, particularly on the sweep, and his bowling would be invaluable in this side, as it was at the last T20 World Cup in India in 2016. Joe has a massive workload and it’s only right he’s being rested now. But I think England are boxing clever by keeping him up their sleeve for now and will bring him back later this year when conditions will suit him just as much as their power hitters. But, if logistics can be sorted out, one of England’s big hitters may be looking over their shoulder at World Cup time — and that means Jason Roy, Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow must keep getting runs between now and October to be safe.

sage Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Bumble seems quite confident Root will be picked for the world cup. Wonder if Morgan will reconcile with Hales. Malan is not looking great playing in India. Link to comment
Vickydev Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Malan doesnt look too good on these slower tracks..Moeen might be a good bet as well Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Nah, Root doesnt fit in this England line up. This line up is almost perfect, may be they can try Root at 3 if one of the guy is injured otherwise no need to tinker with this batting order and players as well, They need to get rid of Jordan though.

Global.Baba Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Agreed, way better than this Malan guy Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Root over Malan anyday.. But I guess they'll back Malan who will bash teams in England & other places. Link to comment
Ravi_Shastri Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Malan is the Def of proper hack. Poor man's usman khawaja Link to comment
Tibarn Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 He doesn't fit in their top 5, and he isn't really a finisher to bat lower in the order. I don't think he would like the big boundaries in Australia. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 There’s so much talent in England t20 line up that the number 1 batsman in the world is considered a weak link! Like some other posters suggested, Malan is one batsman who is definitely more Indian than English type player. Takes time and explodes. Link to comment

Global.Baba Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 5 hours ago, New guy said: Malan has 1 50 every 4 games Doesn’t matter. Lesser players have such patches. Root is a bonafide ATG and one of the greatest batsman of the current generation. Fab 4 for a reason. You dont drop such match winners Link to comment
Global.Baba Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This kind of over experimentation and our Indian fans and TM fascination with these gimmicks concern me. Who in their right mind drops a player like Joe Root? Hope we don’t fall for such gimmicks. Already some fans get caught up in this glitz and glamor of these gimmicks. Link to comment

He scores a 50 every 4 match and this is the first time he hs not scored a 50 in consecutive 4 matches. Thats god level consistency. Plus he is ICC no 1 t20 ranked player, not root Link to comment
