Indeed. We should open with Topley and Wood and when Topley gets out first ball we should push Rashid down the order.Chizz said:
It was a perfect illustration of why Malan should be picked. Insurance in case we lose a wicket, but can be pushed down the order to let bigger hitters go in when we get a fast start.killerandflash said:To be fair to Malan, the 1st wicket went down after a massive opening partnership, so we just needed people to come in and smash the ball alongside Hales. If it had been 9-1, then someone who could build an innings might have been more useful. Especially if it wasn't a road, like the Perth wicket.0 -
personally not a fan of moving some one around the order in t20 unless in incredibly specific circumstances ie we have 5 balls left and its a choice between malan or stokes/livingstone. Otherwise - keep the batting order the same. Everyone knows their place and their role in the team.

I wasn't entirely convinced by Stokes at 3 yesterday. Yes we know what he can do, but he's hardly played any white ball cricket recently2

Livingstone instead of Malan.1

Number 3s role is very different at 0/1 in the 1st to 124/1 in the 12th isn't it?kentaddick said:personally not a fan of moving some one around the order in t20 unless in incredibly specific circumstances ie we have 5 balls left and its a choice between malan or stokes/livingstone.

Hales
Moeen
Stokes
Brook
Livingstone
Curran
Jordan
Rashid
Wood
Topley
Moeen batted for CSK at 3. He isn't just a hitter either. As well as being the "finisher", Livingstone can bowl leggies to right handers and off breaks to left handers - especially useful with a shorter boundary one side of the ground.0 -
That's as valid as any of your other opinions, you're perfectly entitled to it. But I don't imagine there will be much support for it.Addick Addict said:

Interesting that Crawley keeps his central contract, but Lees gets nothing
Livingstone and Foakes get full contracts1 -
telling crawley is the only recognised opener to get a central contract.
Well done foakes for getting that central contract, richly deserved.0 -
That's Jennings back then0

Archer keeps his central contract despite not playing for more than 18 months. Malan and Roy reduced to Incremental. No contracts for Jordan, Tom Curran and Dom Bess. Crawley is one lucky lad - not many batsman have ever been rewarded for averaging 20.58 over a two year period (39 innings) with a full central contract.

Stokes should be nowhere near the side. His T20 record is shocking. He's in for his name alone.2

Match winner though0

Surprised about Jordan and T Curran, especially the latter as Jordan is 34, so perhaps being eased out.Addick Addict said:Archer keeps his central contract despite not playing for more than 18 months.

Bess was another over promoted young spinner. He moved to Yorkshire to enhance his England prospects by playing more...0 -
Much bigger test for England today, the full strength Aussie bowling attack and what looks a harder pitch to score on1
-
Malan showing why moving Stokes up to 3 was a mistake. He's a much better T20 batsman than Stokes, especially in Aussie conditions0
-
Stokes fails again.0
-
I really don't like Zampa.1

He's Australian. Never a good starting point!suzisausage said:I really don't like Zampa.5 -
Lose just 1 wicket to the quicks, lose 2 to Stoinis

That's our best 11 imo0

I’d still be picking Stokes, probably over Woakes, maybe Curran.

I always find Aussie commentators so biased0

Shane Watson level review0

Bowling make up feels wrong, think we need Jordan in there as a specialist death bowler. Curran/Woakes are both most effective with the new ball but Wood and Topley can do that job so I would only have one of Curran/Wood.Pelling1993 said:1 Buttler

Then shocking boundary fielding, to shovel the ball over the boundary
0 -
How can they review something about 20 mins after the ball?
Off goes Warner the cheat, who fell pretty heavy, to be replaced by king cheat Smith. It's a game of who denrages me the least between Warner, Smith, Zampa and Wade.
I do like Cummins though.1 -
