Lord Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Surprised they went with Roy. Crawley or Salt seem better options now. Brook should still have made it ahead of Malan Link to comment

Brook should still have made it ahead of Malan IPL experience probably played a role. Salt also clicked in a couple of matches. But Salt is mainly for T20. Lord 1 Link to comment

Livingstone as a part time leggie/offie will bring more to the table. They have too many seamers including Stokes. 6 of them. Woakes/Stokes/Willey/Topley/ Curran/Wood. Why do they need Willey and Topley both together. They could dispense with one seamer and include Brook. Link to comment
AKane Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Gus Atkinson Right arm Fast...... supposedly able to bowl 95 mph. Woakes, Wood, Atkinson, Stokes, Moeen, Root, Curran/Livingstone...... not bad. tapandrun 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Don't understand their obsession with Malan. Surprised to see Brook out. raki05 1 Link to comment

Malan is like Mandeep Singh no body likes him but he will always be not just picked by one or the other franchises but also gets picked in playing xi.

Check his record in the last couple of years. He is their best option in the top order and a left-hander to boot. Link to comment

Since 2021, the white balls have been swinging a lot more upfront. Malan has scored tons in difficult conditions in this period. Brook is not ready to play in the top order Link to comment
Serpico Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Malan has ideal game for ODIs Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Brook has a 100 in 41 balls. Not sure if they will find him a last minute spot Link to comment

Not sure if they will find him a last minute spot They should bring him in and bat him at 4, Stokes at 5 and Buttler at 6. There's no need for both Willey and Curran in that squad. Curran can operate in the death as well as in other phases so he should be selected imo and they are way too similar otherwise. Malan Bairstow (back up keeper) Roy (spare opener) Root (6th bowler) Brook (7th bowler if necessary) Stokes Buttler Livingston (spare MO batter) Curran (bowling AR) Woakes (bowling AR) Moeen (spare AR at 7) Rashid Wood Toppley Atkinson (spare bowler) That squad is a lot more balanced.

Lord Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Roy ahead of Brook is a travesty. Link to comment

Way too many seamers for Indian conditions. Link to comment
