England announce their squad for the World Cup on Tuesday. For me, Jofra Archer must be in it as he provides something different that the majority of our bowlers lack......raw pace. However, at the expense of whom? Someone is going to be really disappointed to be missing out.
Vince for Hales and Archer for Willey would be my swaps. I think the bowling options for the first game are a really tough call, but I’d be tempted by this day one:
Roy Bairstow Root Morgan Stokes Buttler Moeen Woakes Curran Archer Rashid

Archer in for sure.

It’s going to be really tough then to reduce any 15 down to a starting XI, glad I’m not on that selection panel! It’s just brilliant that we have a talented pool of players that make us a real threat. Last time we were this competitive in a World Cup,1992?

My choice too.
Willey is unlucky as I like the left arm option.
Plunkett stays as he bowls great middle overs
Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me.
Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing.
Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial.
Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid.
Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.
For me PLUNKETT’s recent poor form (he’s definitely lost a little pace) means he’s the one I’d drop. I’d also ass DAWSON for Denly as I see him as a better spinner. I suspect the bowlers will be rotated in tournament but here’s my 11-
Roy Bairstow Root Morgan Buttler Stokes Mooen Woakes Curran Rashid Archer
Denly would be the one I would omit. He is primarily a batsman and we already bat deep. I am also not sure he has done enough to justify a bowling slot.
Willey is leftie so creates variation to the other bowlers so would be my pick.
Vince to replace Hales seems to be a no-brainer too.

It's not PC to suggest it but shoehorning someone in at short notice just because they are good is pretty daft and demeans the sport. 'English' cricket usually has a sprinkiling of stardust that hops on board for money (not to mention an irish captain at a time when his own country needs him) - usually south african - and rugby has long been a farce, coming here on holiday seems enough for a new zealander or south sea islander to to be included. Strangely football is one sport where England have not gone down this nefarious route, even though a sprinkling of brazilians might have helped win a world cup

Archer does have an English father (and a British passport).

They have similar top speeds, wood is injury prone whereas archer seems to have a much more repeatable action
Archer appears to offer more all round with his game, but I’d still have both in the 15 man squad. To be frank, I’d like to see them being our opening bowling attack for the first 8-10 overs.

I would open one with Woakes, he has a happy a knack of getting people out in the opening 10 overs. We missed having one of Archer or Wood yesterday to break up that big partnership, guaranteed if we did we would have won by well over 100 runs.

Ali Archer Bairstow Buttler Curran Morgan Plunkett Rashid Root Roy Stokes Vince Willey Woakes Wood
Denly might be in with a shout instead of Willey, but given Root can bowl a bit of spin, think I'd prefer the fast bowler.
Its this squad for me.... at the end of the day, Denly is never going to play. If Rashid or Moeen are injured, they can bring someone in, whereas the variety of the pace attack might mean they all get used.... if it looks a bit green/overcast, might get Willey in, or if its flatter go with out and out pace....

ICC are preparing the pitches expect them to be like the pitches we just played on, flat, very flat and total roads.

Reading Bayliss comments this evening....
- Would look like Dawson ahead of Denly - good call who posted this earlier - 2/3 from Willey, T Curran and Plunkett. That is a tough call. - Vince in for Hales

Can I change my mind!!!!
I'd omit Denly and bring back Willey.
Denly is a very strange inclusion. Almost given the chance 'just' to see if he can do something. County level player.
Can't wait to see Archer.....jeepers.......

Dawson is average at best.
It would be a travesty if he got into the final squad. He couldn't turn it on a 'burner', leave alone the batter friendly wickets. As a batter he's toast. Nowhere near an International player.
If I were Denly and got dropped for Dawson I'd send a package of poo to the selectors....

And so it has proven.
Willey and Denly miss out.
Strong squad and nice problem for the selectors to have.
