Nick Compton could be a tv presenter for the upcoming ODI series.

Nick Compton could be a tv presenter for the upcoming ODI series.

Presented the IRE vs PAK game didn't he, did you see it? Any good or is he another shocker?

[InternalTraining]

I saw it and he was fine - no gaffes, no mistakes. That's all he had to do really, just ask some questions and say a few nice things. I'd say it takes a few years of experience to becomes Athers, Bumble, or Nasser.

[ScottParko]

He's looked fairly decent when in the studio doing a minorish game, so too Ed Joyce. I liked that with Rob Key when he first started doing county games, he was still playing now freshly retired meaning he's bringing fresh up to date views to the table.

[Alvaro]

As long as their are readily available reflective surfaces he'll be fine.

Who would you pick for the ODI team?

Roy
Hales
Buttler (w)
Morgan
Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Willey
Woakes
Dawson
Wood

I'd like to see this personally:

Roy
Hales
Root
Morgan
Buttler (w)
Stokes
Moeen
Bairstow
Woakes
Willey
Wood

Although Chris Jordan is no doubt going to find his way in there somehow

[Buzz]

This is a big series for Morgan. He needs to score runs.

Sadly he's the first player I think most would be dropping from their teams! Just so much competition for places now

[InternalTraining]

If Pakistan jettisons the boat-anchor that is Hafeez, their ODI future stands a good chance against strong teams.

Daws at 10? That's a hell of a batting line up!

Root is the premier player and would be wasted at 5. Rashid has done nothing wrong be lose his place either.

[Woodyspin]

Where would you fit Root in? I think in the case of ODIs Buttler Roy and Hales are much more of a hit in the power play with Morgan where he always is... Dawson i see as a better batsman and equal bowler imo

A team isn't about picking 11 batsmen... Batsmen bat, bowlers bowl. Yes there will be the odd all rounder. If we are relying on the number 10 to score runs, we ain't gonna be challenging the top sides for the major championships.

And Root bats 3, just like the likes of Kohli, Smith and Williamson
