I don't agree with you about Moeen but I do agree with you about this.

Missed the carnage last night and the fun this morning. Not long got up and managed to sleep long enough not to have a hangover which is nice. Now to watch us get skittled before the afternoon football is over.

Like Robson, has a technical fault but had scored the runs in county cricket to deserve his call up. Not his fault he isn't up to the required level. Can go back to county cricket and carry on scoring heavily like he does.

He will be dropped if he fails this dig even if he is run out and it is not his fault. However if he can get a score then he is worth persevering with. I can see him averaging around 36-37 in tests if he can get through this learning phase.
That last leave by him was an opener's leave by the way. The way he withdrew the bat inside the line was old school.
36-37 may not sound very good, but it is good enough to be Cook's partner until some prodigy comes along.

Downplaying? It was harped on about for ages.

Then has a waft. He needs to carry on the way he has not flashing at them.

I like Lyth, was a big fan of his and wanted him to get his chance but he clearly isn't up to it and we have discarded others with better techniques and records than him. He will be incredibly lucky to play again after this series even if he gets a big score here. No idea who we pick for SA but I think the talk of Moeen for UAE is possible to fit Rashid in the side at 8.

Hales is scoring runs at the right time so i think he will tour. Agree that Moeen is a possibility in UAE but he's not going to the opening at Kingsmead so it's very much the same sort of thing about dragging Lyth to the UAE and then not picking him WRT Hales.
Also if Hales gets runs in the ODI series it makes him even more likely to be picked.

Could see that coming. Siddle was pressuring him. Excellent bowling.

Put him out of his misery and let him do a Ballance, go back to the champions and dominate again.

So easy to say in hindsight, but Siddle would have been so much better on those bowling-friendly pitches than Starc and Johnson.
