England deserve to keep on losing if they keep sending Bops at 7.

Bopara >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buttler

Sri Lanka win by 9 runs.

Bopara >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buttler

The stats suggest otherwise, and Buttler is a better finisher. I think that Morgan, Buttler and Bops are all one place too low, though.

I'd drop Carbs or Bell, move those three guys up and bring in Broad and Finn.

Great game of cricket in the end. Commiserations England

I'm fairly certain that Bopara has better stats then Buttler in the OD & T20 format.

I'd have Morgan 4 Bopara 5 and Buttler 6. Carbs deserves a run in the team.

England's explosive line up is clearly strong on Paper....Carberry, Bell and Root. Only Cook is missing now
kinda off topic but Cooks has a pretty good T20 record..has a 100 and also has a 128 or so S.R
