I think England should give him a chance to open the batting in T20. He used to open the batting for Northants and scored the fastest ever Century off 40 balls on T20 finals day.
Roy and Hales doesn't work, Vince just isn't an international batsmen. We need to try something different
Willey

Not convinced he has the technique to open in the international arena. I would get him higher than 10 though - Possibly 8.
I like the opening pair. They compliment each other as Roy blasts it from the off and Hales usually takes some time to get get going.
Bigger issues for me are that Stokes should get 7 with Billings coming in as the extra batsman at 6.
Then drop Ali...Who I know did well in the last game but I don't think is consistent enough.
I would use Topley, Willey and Stokes as my pacemen and Rashid and one other as my spinner. Not sure who having said that...

What's he's like hitting right arm off spin on turning tracks?

Roy is averaging 20. and hales as been useless for a long while. Not saying change them yet.. But you gotta give others a chance eventually..
