The team I'd pick for the remaining World Cup games is a couple of pages back.
Drop Ballance, bring in Hales, move Bell to three.
Drop Morgan, bring in Bopara.
Drop Broad bring in Jordan.
Drop Finn bring in Tredwell.
Whether that works long-term is debatable. So here's what I'd do long-term.
Hales
Roy
Bell
Root (c)
Taylor
Buttler (wk)
Woakes
Willey
Rashid
Tredwell
Anderson.
Hales and Roy at the top of the order because they'll belt it to all parts. If it doesn't work out, you've got steady solid players like Bell and Root to follow. Chasing a score, those two at the top could get us above the rate quickly. Setting a total, they would make good use of that batting power play. I've put David Willey in because he offers us something different with his left arm pace bowling. It's basically a choice between him and Harry Gurney and for me, Gurney isn't up to much considering his hype. Adil Rashid, is a player I've always liked. Decent with the bat, as is Willey, down the order and a good spin option. I always like having two spinners in the limited overs game, they can get through their overs quickly and suddenly seven or eight overs have gone in the blink of an eye.
I've kept Anderson in because despite struggling in the World Cup, he's still the best bowler we have.
