How does Broad not get into this team ahead of Willey, Topley or Jordan?

Whilst I don't endorse panic changes, England never seem to change their team at tournaments, they're very predictable.
I think he's under enforced semi-retirement from limited overs to prolong his test career.

England bowlers were never this bad before though.

They can't even bowl one good ball an over.

Incredible how many full tosses, half volleys and half trackers have been bowled by the pace men.

England seem to have a very good batting line up but a god awful bowling one
Sums it up when Luke Wright is saying what everybody else is on Twitter:

'Amazing batting but where is our most experienced bowler @StuartBroad8!!!!! Has to be there!'

I'd take Stuart Broad bowling at 50% over the three pace bowlers playing in this match. Abysmal stuff

Where's Parry who bowled Lancs to the 20/20 title last year? He bowls bullets to the base of leg stump, they very rarely end up clearing the car-park?

4 down now. There's just a chance they can keep them below 200, except that Jordan and Topley have to come back and bowl.

topley and willey are too samey imo and i would take willey over topley every time, please do not quote me on that out of context

never rated jordan as a bowler at this level , seems to get picked more because of his fielding ability

willey robbed of an lbw there

Yeah Would take Willey over Topley as well.
Willey bowls better yorker, can bat and can swing the ball and is quicker.

But Topley is only playing because Finn injured.

Dawson might come into the team and replace one of the seam option in Delhi.

Plucking leg out. That umpire is blind useless scum, I'd chuck him in the ganges.

He doesn't bat, therefore they won't pick him.

Ignore the fact that what he can't contribute with the bat, he more than makes up for with the ball.

Jade Dernbach will be wondering why he can't get in this bowling attack.

its a bit scary looking at those bowling figures and our most economical bowler went for 8.5 per over

A missed catch by Morgan in the last over. England have been dreadful.
