England's match to lose.
Was a good decision to bring a flat track bully like Malan back to play on flat tracks.

I wouldn't be against going funky tbh, but if anyone gets axed then surely Buttler and Pope have to go too?

Let's go full 90s and pick players who aren't even in Australia:
James Vince
Rob Yates
Dawid Malan
Joe Root
Ben Stokes
Liam Livingstone
Ben Foakes
Luke Wood
Ollie Robinson
Mark Wood
Saqib Mahmood
FULL 90S
Picking bowlers for their batting is always a pretty dicey endeavour. I'm not saying I disagree by any means, just that it's a bad situation to be in.I think they might have to play Dom Bess because Woakes hasn't delivered much wickets wise and the Aussies will be licking their lips if Ollie Robinson is batting at 8.
Given that the floodgates open once Root and Malan are out, I don't know if they would risk the strategy of picking the four best bowlers, whoever they think they are. Overton or Bess seems more likely if they were to change it up.Picking bowlers for their batting is always a pretty dicey endeavour.
