Think I'd actually just move Bairstow up to open, then maybe bring in Willey for more bowling options.

Butler
Bairstow
Malan
Livingstone
Morgan
Ali
Woakes
Willey
Jordan
Rashid
Wood

The thing with playing Willey is I don't see where he bowls because he has to open as the white ball only swings for about 2/3 overs etc... and we have been using Moeen in the PP really well, and Woakes also needs the new ball.

I completely get having an extra bowling option but in Abu Dhabi to we need an extra seamer?

Death bowling is where they’re lacking now, but not sure there’s anyone likely to come in that helps with that.

Just going to throw out there that if you pick Willey, he might as well open.
He was brilliant at the top of the order in the hundred and means virtually no changes to the batting order.

His record with the bat in international cricket is pretty grim though. That combined with how important the PP is abs how many other options they have for opening would put me off.

The other issue with Willey is that he isn't a death bowler. Our up power play bowlers are doing a good job.

Roy confirmed out, Vince in the squad. Bairstow as an opener then Billings at 4/5 seems like a no-brainer.

There are multiple possibilities.  I assume Billings will bat 6/7 with Livingstone moving up into the middle order.

I get all the above, just think we could use an extra bowler rather than bringing Billings in, as the batting is still very strong and would like to see Livingstone move up. As a skipper, if a bowler or two went round the park I'd prefer to have another option, rather than Billings coming in at 6 or 7 when we should have enough firepower in the batting as it stands.

That said, if we're 3 down early you'd obviously like the extra batter! 😆

Except malan to open and bairstow to 3 makes more sense

If there was a death bowling option he’d be a stick on. But given there isn’t it’ll almost certainly be Billings.

NZ go into Semi#1 with higher confidence level. It'd be a close game but NZ will come out on top.

Decent bowling but Guptill and Williamson both got out playing pretty ordinary shots.
