he really is the form player and is the clear positive for the simmer.

Have you been watching repeats of 'Allo 'Allo!

I'm not sure how that auto correct happened, I can't recall ever trying to type simmer on my phone.

We look a really decent 50 over side at the moment.  It's a pretty settled nod as well, though if Finn could find some form then he would be a decent option.

I think Willey is the only player you'd add to this right now. There is an argument for Bairstow but when we have just broken the record for batting that becomes a hard sell

There is of course the option not to add anyone at the moment!!  I think the top nine of Hales, Roy, Root, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Woakes and Rashid looks really good and that just leaves two bowlers.  Great to see Wood back and he was bowling over 90mph at times tonight.

Of course, I'm just saying that if you go entirely by form then Willey is the only player you'd think of adding at the moment. That is a fairly huge change from a couple of years back.

Andrew Samson is very good but I do enjoy listening to Andy Zaltzman as celebrity statto

Definitely Paul.  Just such a shame Tymal Mills has got the injury problems he has, as a real express bowler is all we are lacking in the ODI team at the minute.

I wouldn't want to face Tymal Mills in anything less that a full suit of armour

[paul_e]

Mills is a huge loss, could've been a real star with his raw pace

[Dave Cooper please]

Debut for Liam Dawson in today's ODI. Good call that I think, doesn't harm the batting line-up and we get to see if his bowling is up to anything at this level.

Pakistans very own Taff gets Morgan Ct & B 10

Struggling to watch this t20 with all the fucking horns.

Tanvir bowls off the wrong foot and it's making me twitchy, looks totally wrong.  Watch him if you don't know what I mean

[Villafirst]

No Woakes?? Surely better than Jordan or Willey?

I forgot they were playing. I can't be bothered to get up out of my armchair and switch the TV on.

They're probably resting Woakes and Jordan is one of our best bowlers in this formant plus Willey needs match experience.

[paul_e]

Brilliant start from Hales, 31 from 16.

Roy gone lbw for 21.  Easiest decision the umpire will ever have.
