Bit like the selection of Roy I guess

Fair point......

Horrible weather for this tournament. This is really annoying.

Poor Finchy in front of the Hollies

This is some counterattack

How shocking is sky's coverage?? No presentations - nothing. They've really cut back.
A rubbish voice over before games

Are Sky not limited in what they can do since it's not actually them who's doing the camera work etc etc, it's a company linked with the ICC

They probably are limited but they usually have a studio at the ground and provide pre and post game analysis. They've slowly been cutting down there coverage

Better BT sport get cricket coverage

Sorry but you cannot compare Roy to Henriques

Roy is a proven performer who is in a terrible run of form and looks like he needs a break

Henriques has zero pedigree at international level with bat or ball. The worst number 4
Ive ever seen Australia field

Henriques is only playing because he's smith and warners mate.
Good bloke selection policy

Doubt they're allowed a full studio at the ground given the ICC have auctioned off the production and 'host broadcasting' rights themselves? In reality for a tournament like this we're probably lucky they do their analysis for England matches on the outfield rather than stuck in some London studio regularly cutting to Nasser etc. for interviews.

Proven performer? He averages 24 this year. I wouldn't be selecting him on his performances

Looks like he needs a break? He hasn't done anything to deserve a break.. he deserves to be dropped

[adampai]

Tbh i think they should drop Roy and bring in Bairstow. Open with Moeen, he cant do worse than Roy surely

[petehosk]

Henriques is not an opener so unsure why they are being compared! I wouldn't have him at 4 in any team at the moment!

But then again, the same goes for Roy at the moment! In fact I would say that Roy is on worse form than most currently!
The shot he played against Australia was woeful. We know that all it takes is one knock and form can return. But with Bairstow on seemingly great form is there a change and reshuffle to make?
At this stage of the competition do England risk the change or hope that Roy finally finds form again?

I think they are being compared as 2 players who should not have been selected in either side not by where they bat. The original comments by myself and Northernboy were about selections of out of form players Pete until LateBloomer bloomed in late. 😎😛

I think they are selecting Henrique based on his recent T20 form in BBL and IPL even though everyone knows he hasn't performed in ODIs... and wisdom of that policy is another matter to debate...
