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. 

Unlike this Eng side..  India will have issues against Australia or NZ/WI. 

WI coz of their spin bashers & batters. 

Australia has good spinners in Zampa & Agar &  someone like Marsh & Maxwell who are excellent players of spin. 

Will be a tight game if we face Australia in semi final.

Roy, Buttler, Bairstow, Livingstone, Morgan, Billings, Moeen, Jordan, Woakes/Wood, Rashid, Mills

 

Gives them 4 bowlers to plus Moeen and Livingstone. They could pick Curran ahead of Billings and still be equally strong.

 

Malan and Willey look to be a bit of a misfit even though Willey has massively and improved his power game which seems to have got him the nod.

 

Overall a very strong squad. Livingstone alone adds so much strength to them. Slow and sluggish pitches will be their biggest bugbear though.

We will annihilate n.z. we beat them 5 0 in their home. We will crush crush here. Don't worry about that. If we don't then kohli needs to be lynched.

Nz was missing lot of their first choice bowlers. I remember Southee bowling two superovers in back to back matches and got smashed both the times in that series. Also ross Taylor messed up one really easy chase 

 

Now they got conway, seifert, Jamieson and got rid of ross and southee. We're still favourites in uae but no one is going crush anyone

Livingstone is the biggest threat.

If no dew England will struggle.. mark

my words. All three loi matches they won in india was because Of heavy dew. The second odi literally the ball was like a soaked up sponge. Even the last odi it was dew all

around when curran was tonking. If the pitch even spins a bit they are in trouble. Billings bairstow and morgan are the only players who play spin well.. livingstone can hit flat sixes but not so sure about his spin play. Padosis nearly brought them down in last t20 from 100/1 to 8 down if i remember well just by spin.. there was no dew in that match..

Malan,Morgan,Moeen,Curran

 

Ashwin is must v them

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. 

Alex Hales flopped in IPL. He also had some banned substance iirc and erred twice on disciplinary issues which is why Morgan has sidelined him. 

 

Banton was scoring like tail ender in IPL. He probably did not score even 20 runs in a single inning in IPL.  It would be an understatement to say that he was a walking wicket on Asian wickets.

If this was in India they will be favs but most of these guys cant play spin.
