England were extremely lucky. Their captain is, at best, médiocre, but the have easily the best lower middle order around. Buttler showed why he is a number one pick for the IPL: he knows how to damage an attack then sit back and grand thym slowly into the ground. In Woakes we have a great bowler who today showed that he can bat bit, too. Why there should be any query in either of them being in the team can only be because they don't fit the current Captain/coach thinking.
Pakistan has a similar problem with their captain, who, great batsman that he was, has lost the confidence of his team through a poor batting run and some on-the-field tactics that don't seem to be working. He'll be lucky if he's there for the rest of the series.
