Fun fact: don’t wanna jinx but nobody’s managed to score a t20 century vs Pak yet

I would get rid of Malan lol... Ali can still be useful and can be swapped for Stokes 

Malan can be replaced by Root as well but I think they will stick with Malan. Morgan doesn't throw players that easily

Ali ofcourse, he should stick to CSK

I think they are persisting with Ali because he might come handy in UAE conditions, his bowling I mean.

Buttler for Malan.

Stokes for Ali/Livingstone.

Morgan looks dated as a batsman. His lack of form has been getting ignored for a long time

Tbh England tend to follow a horses for courses approach so can’t say lol

In the WC lineup, Buttler will come in for Ali, Stokes for Gregory, Archer for Mahmood, Sam Curran for Tom, Mark Wood for David Willey, Rashid for Parkinson

England are the probably the best suited amongst the SENA teams for a t20 wc in the UAE

Absolutely no doubt.

I don't see Asian teams having much of an advantage over them either.  Their main players play IPL etc., so accustomed to those conditions.

Wow this ground is worse than Chinnaswamy

Morgan's keeping one end tight which is a good tactic, another wicket here and it might brings Pakistan back in the game, and just as we speak he sends one across the boundary.

[QuarantineTormentino]

Damn.. all on poor Livingstone now

[Norman]

The three Ms lost the game for England. 

 

Malan, Morgan and moeen bhai

[Frustrated]

Morgan looked totally out of form.   

[SK_IH]

Morgan is playing only as a specialist captain since 2019 WC lol

[raki05]

Morgan is just a captain now. His batting has degraded.
