Great chance of qualifying now but I think the lack of a big hitter at 5, 6, or 7 will prove their undoing when they meet stronger teams. Perhaps a late plea to Glenn Maxwell to join up for the knock out games is the answer!
Also, Tom Bailey has shown in the last couple of games why he hasn't played T20 for the previous 3 years. Accurate, fast-medium seam bowling is not what succeeds in that form of cricket, unless it's one of those rare games with a green pitch.

A surprise that Smith isn't playing.

ffs, what do they have against sam curran? poor decision to drop him for wood given how poor the batting has been so far. Not that wood should have been dropped in the first place mind. The bowlers won that game single handedly, none of them should have been dropped.
Would have liked to have seen banton given a go instead of roy for this one game too.

But no, let's stick with Roy and he'll get out first ball. It wasn't his summer, surely they knew that before today?

God they're out of form. Great idea to weaken the batting.

Does anyone else have no faith in root anymore? I just never think he'll get a score anymore m
Roy and Root in horrible nick
When Roy is in bad form, my word he is bad. Looks like he can barely hold a bat at times, then all of a sudden plays a brilliant innings.

Decent comeback from England this.

Captaining the test side and playing all white ball stuff all a little bit too much maybe

I think so, don't get me wrong, i wouldn't want him dropped from either, he was so key in winning the world cup, but i think it maybe is too much for him. I just don't see a captain in that test side, good leaders all around and a player like stokes you just want them to play. Flintoff and pietersen were burdened by the captaincy so they can't make that mistake with stokes again.

Good recovery here, but their eyes might light up too much off zampa.
