Personally I don't see the attraction with Topley, we've already got a left armed who can also bat in Willey, so why do we need another? I'd have put him in the team if he could bowl 90+ but he can't.
His ink work is nearly as terrible as Dernbach's...

So I've bashed Topley it's time to do the same for Jordan, why are they so persistent with him? Yes he burst onto the scene with wickets but now he's just a buffet bowler?

What a conversion rate by de kock. Slightly better than kohli

Some knock he's playing! Think they'd want Miller out there with him but his form of late has been really poor

Given de kock has only one leg, some wide yorkers outside off might be a good idea. He's closed the face on the last two and not scored. Or is that a bit obvious?

The physio has just given De Kock a rub!

Agree completely, Topley wouldn't be a bad pick if he wasn't very similar to Willey, but he doesn't offer much other than being left handed.

Jordan, who knows. Going at the 10rpo I predicted earlier, sometimes I wonder how he even got in the England team in the first place? Doesn't even look a good county bowler at times.

Jordan only selected because he did well in that last game vs pak where he nailed the Yorkers. Apart from that game he's been rubbish in every other game

Got to remember he was god awful during that game as well, he only came good during the super over!

I think that superover was the only time he has bowled well at this level!! Why on Earth can't he bowl like that any other time!!!  :o
I think Topley is ok but nothing special.

If I were Morgs, I would be asking to change Topley and Jordan for Broad and Woakes.
And did someone say that Roy was injured or did I imagine that? If Roy does not make the next ODI, then I guess they are likely to throw Ali up to open with Hales? In which case they must surely get Taylor in!!

Roy had a back spasm in Monday but seemed to have recovered

He twisted his knee today whilst batting, was seen braced up once out but im not sure if he fielded or not.

Your point being?

I read it as a compliment to de Kock what with India being a class one day outfit
