Why don't they play Matt Prior, he doesn't keep for Sussex, so can field and bat, as he will score alot quicker than most, whilst Buttler is the obviouhttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30269217/england-vs-sri-lanka-t20---20514?post_id=539487215#539487215Why we are playing Ian Bell, at his age, baffles me and Joe Root, shouldn't be in the side either.

Were not very good, as I said England are more interested in the proper cricket.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30269217/england-vs-sri-lanka-t20---20514?post_id=539486999#539486999Thats why England are rated lower than most, because they either go slow, at the start, or slow in the middle, or slow at the end.

With such a long batting line up would it not be better to have someone move up the order earlier whose job is to score at 2 a ball or get out trying.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30269217/england-vs-sri-lanka-t20---20514?post_id=539486953#539486953That negative batting in the middle means they have to chase a total with 2 overs less when.

Its easy to hit out near the end when you have nothing to lose.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30269217/england-vs-sri-lanka-t20---20514?post_id=539486847#539486847You always get the feeling with England no matter what total they are chasing they end up giving themselves too much to do with too much negative batting in the middle of the innings.

Woakes in with 3 balls left, isn't it correct just to give him absolute license (yes, obviously much easier said that done but he can strike a good ball) rather than look for a single to get Bopara on strike to try for one atthttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30269217/england-vs-sri-lanka-t20---20514?post_id=539486839#539486839That last Malinga over.
