I mean, if England or Australia can miss qualifying from this group; they should just give up their Test status.....

No one ever got rich overestimating an English cricket team is all I'll say.
England's squad is powerful. It will take some effort for any team to stop England successfully defending the crown. The batting line up is power-packed with modern ultra aggressive T20 players.
Buttler
Salt
Brook
Duckett
Bairstow
Livingstone
Jacks
Are all dynamite batsmen. No team can better that firepower- match it, possibly.
The bowling has extreme pace [Wood, Archer], a leggie of substance [Adil] etc etc.

Good to see the great man back; just hope it's not premature.
No Root or Malan is, um, definitely a choice. Surely at least one of them is a better bet than Hartley, Jacks or Livingstone? Root's and Malan's slow stuff doesn't lose too much in comparison (especially the former's) with that served up by them either.

Livingstone is the one for me who is largely stealing a spot, not really done anything recently to suggest he should be selected.
Jacks has been great since coming into the RCB team, his new ball spin very handy too. The top 5 looks like being Salt, Buttler, Jacks, Bairstow, Brook (I'd consider Duckett over Bairstow to be honest but you know how this England set up loves YJB). Then I guess it's something like Moeen, Livingstone, Curran, Rashid, Wood/Archer, Topley.
England's bowling attack's going to be absolute garbage in this tournament. The batters will really need to turn up. If they can get Curran, Rashid, Archer and Topley on the park consistently, they've got a chance, but Wood/Jordan are poor selections imo. I think Molehill's got the line-up pretty much right - I'm happier with Ali/Livingstone at six/seven, sharing four overs and hoping one of them comes off with the bat - than Curran batting at seven and lengthening the tail. There are three spinners at the top seven, so you can have four bowlers only.
Meh, at least they didn’t pick Smith
Generally look at our selections and am underwhelmed but always seem to do okay so whatever

It is powerful, yes. But the South Africa batting line-up does match up to this in terms of firepower.
Australia's likely XI
1. Warner
2. Head
3. Marsh (c)
4. Maxwell
5. Stoinis
6. David
7. Wade (+)
8. Cummins
9. Starc
10. Zampa
11. Hazlewood
Ellis, Green and Inglis would be purely back-ups but who does Agar replace if they go with two spinners? I'd think Cummins to make way which is maybe why he's not captain

Interesting we left out young the McJerk but picked old ones in Wade and Warner. Still looks an old squad to me.
I know he's biffed a few in the IPL but is Stoinis any good these days in T20s? Or am I confusing it with him being garbage in ODIs? Or is it both?

Whatever it takes!!!
He can be a decent #4 for you but he is not a 5-7 finisher.
Hasn't scored a 50 in last 10 T20i, and has only one fifty in last 34 matches (since March 2021). It was a 59* off only 18 balls though

I think the person questioning Vaughan might be wrong but funny all the same.

Just seem Aussies squad. Have they mistaken this for a Seniors event?

McJerk is a potential match winner, him and Head could be lethal. Just don’t see what Warner brings now, that he’s been dropped by his IPL team sums it up.
Ummm, Warner is injured, not dropped?
