No Stokes?

[Lone Wolf]

They will rue not having Root in there..  Two games in Sharjah so they will smash sides to reach Semis. 

Hopefully we get to face them in Dubai on a slow pitch.

Yep No Root as well.  This team might struggle vs Spin. 

[Serpico]

Great squad except for T*m curran. Could have selected Saqib instead

[Bigg Brother]

Alex Hales? What happened to him?

[speedheat]

No surprises here.

[Ankit_sharma03]

No surprises coz they build this excellent squad. Archer is a huge miss but mills is a good replacement

Zabardast team

Is Malan really better than Root in SC?   Root can Olay different kinds of sweeps..  Reverse sweep,  slog sweeps.  Malan has few scoring options.  Very poor selection imo. 

Good to see Livingstone there.  He is one guy who can take on spin..  And has rich experience of facing spinners thanks to PSL

[deepdynamo]

Don't want to face this England team in semifinal.

 

We must top our group to avoid playing them until the final.

 

 

 

[Sgattick10]

Only one genuine spinner. Should have picked Parkinson

Malan fass sakta hai subcontinent men ...

Actually i hve  wanted stokes at 3 in t20 n bairstrow to open instead of roy, everyone knows that u bowl spin when roy comes in to bat

 

they shudnt have been stubborn on hales. i wud have liked him instead of root.

Root didnt match their team's tempo .....even though he improved in recent domestic t20 but they stuck to their plan

[Norman]

Phil Salt, Alex Hales, Tom Banton are all better T20 batters than stat padder Malan, who is just a rich man's Manish Pandey. Ridiculous selection!! 

 

Bowling looks meh as well!! 

 

I fancy us beating them in a knock out if we bowl well. 

[Jay]

I dont see what the fuss is about honestly. They are not that food outside England and perhaps Australia and s.afric.

 

I doubt they would do well in Asia,u.a.e

 

India should be favourites. Let's be honest. I don't believe in that jinx rubbish. If virat fails this time with our star studded team then he should hang himself.

their biggest X factor lord archer isnt their so yea not favs this time

[Jamadagni]

They will choke in semis or finals. Cannot be lucky like 2019 wc in every tournament. 

[Lone Wolf]

I fancy Australia against them..  Morgan is in a terrible form. 

Bowling is nothing special for UAE except Adil Rashid. 

South Africa with their gun bowling line up might surprise them in a shootout game in Sharjah. 

 

Sri lanka is also likely to face them in Sharjah as well. 

Eng will 100% miss someone like Root.
