They've got guys who are used to playing in the IPL on Indian wickets.
But I think it's that those lower scoring games potentially where they could trip up.
And because England's second stage of the tournament, if they qualify through that group that you just said in the Super 8s, I think they're likely to be playing in Sri Lanka at that point.
Winning in those conditions is going to be really important.
And I think that
That's actually a theme I think that will come through in this World Cup is actually we might see two tournaments unfold to an extent.
There'll be the tournament that happens in India where conditions are likely to really favour batting.
And then the tournament in Sri Lanka where, again, there'll be some good wickets, but they're not quite as good as what we'll get in India, I think.
Well it's really difficult to say because I mean the other day I was watching one of the T20s between India and New Zealand and it was clearly very dewy during that game but what I've found in the last couple of years in the IPL at least is it's been slightly less of a factor.
I don't know whether the spray that they're being putting on the outfield is more effective I'm not sure exactly what it is but if I can sort of look back at the IPL seasons I've done now the ones from
three, maybe four years ago, I felt like Jew was a bigger factor than it is now.
That could be purely just my own experience.
But it probably will play a role at some point.
It does typically in that part of the world, and it is a massive factor.
Hopefully, it doesn't affect the tournament in the way that it did in 21, because I think that was a bit of a shame, really, that it became so dominated by the chasers.
It's interesting because for the first T20 of the series, when Banton batted at four, I wondered if he was just a placeholder for Duckett.
But then the fact that then yesterday when Salt had his back spasm, if you're sort of following that logic, Banton would have moved up to the top and Duckett would have gone into the position that he was holding at four.
I don't know maybe whether I'm reading too much into that sort of selection puzzle.
But look, Banton's done well in the middle order.
I think Banton's actually a player who over the last sort of
