Never looked right yet in this tournament . Pretty sure they wont make the semis. India, SA, Australia, Pakistan all still to play and they'll probably haven't beat them all.

What Gus Atkinson has to do to get a bowl is one for the angels. Bonkers. Ditto Willey given the bowling so far in three games.
 
Thoroughly enjoyed the Afgans today mind, .Rashid Khan a joy to watch , we got it all wrong from the start' Butler, Curran and Bairstow vey poor . First time I'v,, enjoyed watching 50/50 and enjoyed it , better than watching the Southgate Circus that deprived us of proper football this weekend..
 
Great win for the Dutch which sets up Saturdays game a treat and England a lifeline.
England need to find their mojo from somewhere for this game. The bowling unit is getting carted round the park like the bad old days of the late 90s

Atkinson and Willey should come in for Woakes and Curran IMHO. Shoehorn Stokes in there somehow too

Stokes for Brooks? Woakes has been dire

Stokes for Brooks? Woakes has been dire
Brooks top scored in teh last game, that would be harsh. As poor as the bowling has been I'd be tempted to bring Stokes in for an al rounder

Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Brook, Buttler, Livingstone, Rashid, Willey, Wood, Atkinson

Still gives us 6 bowling options assuming Stokes can't bowl. The issue comes when you need to get 10 overs from Root and Livingstone and that is only on the assumption that the other bowlers don't go round the park

Imagine Buttler will want to keep one of Woakes/Curran in the team

Also, I'm being harsh on Topley, so maybe keep him and rest Wood?
