Disagree - Andre Russell and Dwayne Bravo are top top notch T20 players too. Badree is a good bowler too. If Narine wasn't banned and Pollard was fit they'd be really clear favourites.
My worry about our batting is that we haven't used all of it (apart from the Afghan match where we had to). If you have Willey in at 9, who has a T20 century in 40 balls, and you're not using all of that resource because you're only posting 160/4, then you haven't gone anywhere near hard enough. There is no player in our possible final XI who can't contribute positively with the bat and clear the boundary.

Another thing, and they kept mentioning this on the radio, the WI players are quite popular in India because of the IPL. England hardly register in IPL, if a crowd turns up, it might well support WI.

Andre Russell plays for the KKR. But then so has Eoin Morgan.

Crowd will turn up - and will support WI I'm sure. But still not going to be at the same pitch as playing India would've been.
