11 off 15 (7 dots), almost all of the balls in the Power Play with only two fielders out and plays a shocking shot to get out. So now has 29 off 33 balls in the two warm up games
These are not pitches for the reverse sweep. It's a risk/reward shot anyway but on pitches where the ball is keeping low and sticking there is infinitely more of a risk than reward.
I would rather see Moeen at 3, Bairstow 4, Lawrence Livingstone 5, Morgan 6 and Billings 7
This innings from Billings confirms it. Bairstow batted with confidence in both matches, Moeen has done very well in the IPL at 3 or 4 and is no stranger to the role on these wickets, Lawrence Livingstone has to stay in because of his bowling on these tracks so, unless the skipper drops himself, Malan has to go.

think you mean Livingstone not Lawrence?
I keep bloody doing that!!!! And yes I do of course
LIVINGSTONE needs to concentrate on bowling the leggie to the right hander and off spin to the left hander with the opposite ball being the surprise one. Rather than the liquorice all sorts he serves up
A good shout but I didn't do that because I just think dropping your captain before the first game in the WC is too much of a boost to the opposition. Woakes has also gone for a few in these two games

World's number one T20 bat my arse!!!!
A valid option for ODI’s. Far to slow for T20.
Indeed Root's off spin would have been useful
The rest 23 off 32
Smashes his bat into the ground and then hits the next ball out of the park
Roy
Buttler
Moeen Ali
Bairstow
Livingstone
Morgan
