Yepp YK has finally been exposed as the FTB that he always was.
Joe Root: England batsman's highest score down to 'hurt' caused by coach - BBC Sport
I questioned whether Bayliss would be able to ask Root these questions or just encourage him to keep playing positively.
Glad Ramps asked them.

Younis has batted like a flog in a blender this series. No chance you can currently take him over Cook.

Younis always did well on away tours during his prime. The issue for Younis right now is he is 41 (as confirmed by him in an interview) and over the last few years he has not ventured outside Asia Hassan Cheema has a very good article on cricinfo about Younis. Younis crouch which has been a very recent development has allowed him to amass big runs in UAE but that same crouch has been his undoing on pitches which have some bounce.

If Younis is 3 years older than his given age....how ****ing old must Misbah be?

Ramps a great guy to have, will know full well about those sorts of questions.

Yepp read that. Excellent piece. He has been talking about his crouch for over a year now and he had correctly anticipated that it would cause issues in 2016 when Pakistan play overseas.

Misbah is actually honest about this age.

Shame he not got the answers though if the player asks him what he needs to do.

Yeah only 2 tests matter when comparing Younis and Cook - all the 20000 runs made before that are completely irrelevant. We should also decide the best all-time batsman from one test only - when Agarkar scored the century at Lord's.

All those 20,000 runs count for nothing if he's gone to **** by the time you pick the bloke.
If your going to say you'd take Younis over Cook fine but don't try and imply he'd get into a team ahead of Cook as they are playing now because its patently false especially in regards to this current series.

Awful decision. Should be Ball.

Quite possibly.
And this is something of a must-win game, given how badly we usually bowl at The Oval.

I like that they're showing faith with him. Bowled better in the second innings at Lord's than he had all summer, and he's been picking up wickets despite being out of sorts, as he always has.
Obviously his place was untenable given Woakes' performances but I don't see a problem with him being next in the ranks. As I said at the end of the Sri Lanka series, bowlers are never given anywhere near as much leeway as batsmen, but given his Australia and South Africa series he deserves some. Admittedly his career has had too many false starts but the only way to get the most out of him is to keep him around.

He's not jettisoned, he's just behind Finn in the pecking order.
I've always found it slightly weird that somehow a player can go from being good enough to be selected in the Test XI (though admittedly on thin ice) to then being out of the squad in the next.
