Best eng 50 over line up for oz (& NZ)

[frank21]

So my question to you all is what is the best ENG 50 over line up for oz (& NZ). I am a bit concerned that Moeen Ali will be a not quite as an opener against aus pace attack in aus.

so
1.Moeen Ali
2.Alex Hales  (bell as spare more conservative opener)
3.James Taylor
4.Root (ballance to bat here and root to up if taylor has a shocker)
5.Ravi Bopara (might get the chop for ballance although less bowling options)
6. Morgan
7.Jos Buttler
8.Chris Jordan (or woakes although his batting is less agressive maybe swap order  with broad)
9.Broad
10.Tredwell
11.Anderson

Not convinced about Steven Finn in the squad, i dont believe that is finished he might need to leave middlesex though to totally regain his mojo and avoid eng coaching set up.

What if Morgan has a shocker?
His latest performances in the Big Bash are 12*,  6,  7,  16*

I'm not expecting much, think Hales will soon get found out, and Ravi will again flatter to deceive.

[Valentines Park]

What if Morgan has a shocker?

No if about it.

After watching todays debacle it wont matter who they put out they are no where near good enough!

[Perov]

Cookie must be pleased to be away from this shambles.
The best thing that can be said about Morgan is that he doesn't hang around and use up the overs.
He gets out quickly and let's someone else have a go!

Thinking forward to the Ashes, I suspect getting knocked out of the World Cup early might be a blessing in disguise. We're not good enough to win the World Cup so get back and get back in the groove for 5 day cricket would be best, in my opinion

Yep enjoy the 5 day cricket while it lasts. It is dying on its feet.

[bwildered]

Any more hundred plus run defeats and suggest all England cricket will be dying on its feet, due to the Sky monies being under review, and England victories will be on DAVE or UK GOLD .

Looks like the Scotland game will be our cup final the loser getting the wooden spoon

[tonk]

Hope Sky drop cricket then I can drop Sky Sports!

[sufcessex]

sky won't drop cricket, they would show snail racing if they thought at least 1 person would watch it.

Good to see England's new Captain is in such sparkling form!! I am amazed that the Press haven't turned on Morgan as he is even worse than Ally was!! Also astonished that Ravi was the fall guy again, if in doubt drop Ravi, I know Ballance is a decent bat but better for 5 day Tests & not a proven England 1 day player.

[afinetickletoleg]

The media won't turn on Morgan yet; they were campaigning for him to get the job for over a year.

[tonk]

Got up this morning expecting to watch the end of the game and was met with highlights!
Why am I not surprised?

[afinetickletoleg]

I'm loving it - and so should Cook

It was portrayed that all ills were down to Cooks batting and captaincy.
Perhaps people will now realise that it is down to people to execute their own skills as the batsmen are still getting themselves out and the bowlers are still getting carted all over the field.
