Cricket Banter

Why is Moeen at 7? He has done well opening, at least put him in at 3... come on england how can you forget what he did monday. He has never batted low for Worcs. No Bairstow in squad and why the hell Woakes over Willey... Woakes has great county stats but has unconvinced at the higher level. Willey has the magic left arm variation and hits the ball a mile, plus he has swagger.

England win the toss and have put Australia into bat in the 2nd ODI

Ali was brilliant Monday... but I think if he was around either 5 or 6 I think that doesn't give England the option to include both Buttler or Woakes I'd love to see Ali up the order a little test wise so you could accommodate Rashid...But if so where would you put him?
