Surely Babar, Bairstow and Blundell should play for the B XI

Brathwaite
Bavuma
Babar
Brook
Bairstow
Blundell
Bracewell
Bess
Broad
Boult
Ball

Boland and Bumrah could obviously make that attack but they'd presumably play for their nations if fit

Can we sticky this thread?

I am looking forward to it more than I thought I would after they randomly started deducting points for over-rates
I know that it is shared if a draw but can a finalist lose on over rates in the final? Is a lot fairer than losing on boundaries.

Yes, this can probably be stickied now, since there is not much cricket to discuss till the WTC final.

For this to be a proper WTC final, they need to make it a series with one game each in all the major playing conditions

Haha I only just realised Rahane is back. He was always my favourite out of the Indian middle order but it's so defeatist to have so many blokes banging down the door and recall a 34 year old with a mediocre record anyway, especially after doing not much other than slap a few dingers in the IPL since his (well-overdue) dropping.
