To beat Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka successively (which is probably what is needed now) is a.big ask but would create huge momentum for the semis!


Mission accomplished, though we didn't have to beat the Ausie's due to the weather. Reckon we would have though as they have been poor.

Made it difficult with some brainless shots today against Sri Lanka, but the bowlers had put us into a position where we almost couldn't lose. Had a good go at losing it mind.

We made hard work of that. The balance of our side does look superb though. So many game changers with a lot of experience.

Talking of the balance of our side, it didn’t look good for Malan.
Personally I’d put Salt in at 3 but is anyone else tempted by any other selection?

Salt is the only real option in the squad to take the place of Malan.

Pity Bairstow didn't go.

And would Salt then keep wicket?

No need. Buttler doing the job well and Salt is primarily a batsman.

Of course, they could decide to bring in an extra bowler instead, as we bat deep down the order anyway.

You could replace Malan with a bowling all rounder. Let’s face it we’ve not used Malan properly twice.
It’s not how I would go personally and I’d bring Salt in but, there are other options.

Yeah, I did say in the post above that they could go for another bowler, and it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Bowlers can win you games as much as batsmen.

So it’s unlikely but technically I think we cud call up Duckett and put him straight in. The logic being he sweeps so well and it will combat India’s spinners.
But that’s as likely as me reading the whole thread instead of just replying to the first message I see!😉

No wood is a big blow! Have to admit I am not confident.
