Moe is (considered) a batting all-rounder, Rashid a spinner. Right or wrong, it was a tactical drop. And Willey has apparently lost his swing, as mentioned earlier (and apart from his first five overs of the innings, had a tendency to get thumped anyway). Anyway they'll both probably come back in.
Also, for what it's worth? I'd keep the top seven together too. Chopping and changing just before a World Cup has got us into problems before.
SO basically what Dez said. -

Root only bowled because Woakes had to go off, i don't think anyone could have forecast that!!
Ali/Root & Rash are also completely different types of bowler. If you want to change captain on the eve/at the start of a global tournament, you are making the same sort of mistake that previous England tournament teams have made. -

Not double talk in the slightest & Rashid wasn't dropped either. Morgan just selected what he thought was the best bowling attack for the conditions, which yes in hindsight Rash might have been a better option than Ball. Roy will come good - like all batsmen do at some point he has just hit a poor patch of form - after QDK & possibly Warner he's the most destructive ODI opener in world cricket.

Evening all. Looking unlikely that Mid/Som will get back out... might improve Soms chances of avoiding defeat. Frustrates me how the top 6, despite a shocking start to the season is a 'closed shop'. Two changes, Davey in for Coverton as not available and TG for Bess, which clearly is tactical based on pitch/weather. With Myburgh, Hose. Eddie Bryom and Bartlett waiting in the wings, it does seem strange. Unfortunately for him as he has been a loyal servant, Trego would be the first to go, closely followed by the captain.
