Good to see positive attacking shots. Is he a proper englishman? Or som saffer blood here as well?

England have done well to back him.
You have to back a player once you identify him as a potential star ,not easy to hit the ground running straight away.
Think this is a big point, how many other teams would have picked a guy averaging 13 @ 112 going into the tournament when they have an opener on the bench who averages 40+ in t20is and has a man of the series award in the only series he's played? Sure has payed off.
Not impressed.... Looks like hit and miss.

What has happend to this guy? I know he has been injured etc, but was looking at his recent form. In last 11 innings in all formats (int. and domestic) he has scored 118 runs in 11 innings. Very very poor average.

Roy will be backed in the same way Rashid is backed, both players are very positive / attacking - there are bound to be some troughs with their form but their peaks and impact largely outshine any lows. As [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] said Roy was pivotal to our world cup winning campaign and on the other hand Rashid put England in the world cup semi-final, if Morgan thought the way simple jobber folk like [MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] does then England would be not be world champions.
I've always been a big fan of Roy, first time I saw him play was on finals day of the Natwest Blast and knew at that momet he had the X-Factor which England lacked at thr top of the door, I have no issue with him if he is coming from an injury or struggling for some form, this is the golden generation of England and cream rises to the top when required / we can afford to include such players in the XI and even Moeen despite him struggling in ODI's, we have options that's for sure and bench strength, most players from England B would be good enough to make Pakistan's 1st team
Roy is Gun. No questions asked, he should be backed. Rashid is good also, but that phainta by Maxi was beautiful
Maxi sounds like something his girlfriend would call himand it wad the best knock he has ever played so fair play to him
It was a perfect knock at a time when people were shoving Rashid down our throats. A guy who has a history of being dispatched to the next postcode by Hafeez and Babar does not warrant a spot in the Pakistan side, I wouldn’t pick him over the Junior baller Shadab Khan
Amazing knock by Maxi. Maza aa gaya!
Jason Roy is a South African import so he will certainly become a great opener for England, right now just going through a lean patch.
He has technical weaknesses but in terms of his LOI hitting, he is up there with the very best, aesthetically very pleasing to eyes as well.
0.2 Mohammed Shami to Roy, FOUR runs
Shorter, wider, chopped fiercely past point! That's how Roy likes to roll, emphatic forearms, powered through the ball, and the fielder has no chance!
0.5 Mohammed Shami to Roy, FOUR runs
Solid and emphatic once more! It's been a fine over, but it's cost nine already, as Roy leans on a fuller length, full face through the line, and whistling through the covers.
7.5 Chahal to Roy, FOUR runs
Crashed with power through the covers! Waiting on the back foot, ready to pounce, and with a nugget of width he was ready to unleash those forearms
7.6 Chahal to Roy, FOUR runs
Contemptuous! Slower through the air from Chahal, a long way outside off too. But Roy read it from the hand, waited on one knee, and pounded it with glee through midwicket! This is a very promising sign for England..
10.5 Pandya to Roy, SIX runs
Launched over long-off! Does Roy believe his luck is in? He certainly plays this one with the freedom of the reprieved! A majestic clobber high into the stands!
13.1 Chahal to Roy, FOUR runs
Reverse sweep! Pinged through backward point to put the pressure on Chahal right from the start of the over ...
14.2 Kuldeep Yadav to Roy, FOUR runs
That is a stunning straight blow! One sighter is ample as Roy saunters to the pitch of the ball and lambasts a flat drive over the bowler's head!
16.5 Kuldeep Yadav to Roy, SIX runs
That is just thumped. THUMPED. Dances down the track, gets to the pitch and lifts this over the sight screen. Shredded
