Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart believes Ben Stokes could open the batting alongside Jason Roy for their World T20 game with Afghanistan if Alex Hales is ruled out through injury. Hales and Roy have struck up a positive partnership at the top of the order but Nottinghamshires Hales is struggling with a back problem that will be assessed on Wednesday morning ahead of the game, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 9am.James Vince appears likely to come in to replace him but former England captain Stewart is keen to see Stokes and Roy opening the batting in Delhi. It will be a huge blow, Jason Roy and Alex Hales are two very destructive players and they have created a very good opening partnership, Stewart told Sky Sports News HQ.Lets hope he is 100 per cent fit and the two of them can go out and open the batting and repeat what they did the other day against South Africa.You want to still take the attacking options and I wouldnt be against pushing Ben Stokes up the top of the order if Alex Hales isnt fit. Eoin Morgan says England will leave their decision over playing a third spinner against Afghanistan on Wednesday until the last minute. Theres James Vince there in reserve but if Ben Stokes bats for 10 or 12 overs, England will win the game, I promise you that.He doesnt open too often, perhaps just one or two occasions for Durham, but I would gamble and say to Ben go up there, show how good you are, and bat with Jason Roy.Stewart is well aware of Roys abilities, having regularly seen him opening the batting for Surrey, and he feels he has the ability to swing a game in his teams favour in the same way Stokes can. He is a destructive player. If you speak to bowlers, he is one of the last batsmen they would want to bowl to, Stewart said of Roy.He destroyed Dale Steyn in that opening over [against South Africa], to really set the tone for England to go on and win that game.Joe Root took the plaudits and rightly so but Jason Roy really took the attack to the opposition, he put them on the backfoot, to allow England to bring that run-rate down. Surrey Director of Cricket Stewart would like to see Stokes and Jason Roy bat together at the top of the order Just like Stokes, if Roy bats 10 overs in a 20-over game, that side will win more times than not.He [Roy] just needs to bat a little longer now and get 75 or even a hundred.As for Englands chances of winning the tournament, Stewart is convinced they can beat anyone on their day and could yet cause an upset.I said before the tournament started, England wont be one of the favourites but they are a very dangerous side, he added.We saw that against South Africa and although we didnt see it [in their opening defeat] against West Indies, if they are on their A game, they can beat anyone. Morgan unsure on third spinner Eoin Morgan will make late call on how many spinners will face Afghanistan I include West Indies and India in that, who are probably the two favourites, although we must not discount New Zealand.If England can repeat what they did with the bat against South Africa, they then need to be just a little bit smarter with the ball and execute their variations a little better.They can go all the way but they have to be on their A game.Watch England v Afghanistan in the World T20 on Wednesday.

Ask the speaker of the house about the Green Bay Packers, and he would gladly speak about his favorite football team.The U.S. representative from Wisconsin visited Packers training camp practice and afterward was invited by coach Mike McCarthy into the end-of-practice huddle, where he and his kids met quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Just sports questions, sports only, he said.?Hed rather talk about meeting Rodgers.That was something my kids will never forget for the rest of their lives, Ryan said during a short interview with reporters at practice. That was very cool. Hes my favorite player. Ive been watching this team all my life. To be a lifelong Packer fan to come out and actually watch the practice, see the Packers, this is a big moment.The Janesville, Wisconsin, native said he asked McCarthy for an injury report on receiver Jordy Nelson, who is on the physically unable to perform list after experiencing a hiccup with his left knee.I just want to make surre a hiccups a hiccup, Ryan said.dddddddddddd I was asking about injuries, checking on the health of certain people. Just want to make sure of the status. I feel really good about this team. I mean this is a very deep team. The talent, the draft was good. I feel very excited about this team. We keep ourselves healthy, I feel like we can go all the way this year, and I dont just say that every year. I feel really good about our team this year.Ryan said even though hes used to giving speeches, he was nervous when McCarthy asked him to talk to the team.I just told them how much we love the Packers, how much we support them, he said. The community loves these guys, and its just great to be there, and I just closed with saying Go Pack.The only political talk came when the Republican was asked whether he would watch Hillary Clintons speech later that night at the Democratic National Convention .Of course I will, he said.
