All Time England XI game

[Saint Kopite]

- Name Hobbs opening partner for the England XI
- Select the teams spin bowling option. I think its unlikely, but If more than 50% dont think a spinner is needed, the spinner with most votes will make the A team and ill ask for another quick. So let me know if u dont want a spinner.

Leonard Hutton.

Jim Laker.

Sigh Barrington and Compton.

Realistically if you had all these players irl, wouldn't you rather Hobbs Sutcliffe Hutton Hammond Compton over Hobbs Hutton Hammond Barrington Compton?

 

[Starfighter]

We need someone to play long, painfully slow innings then randomly hit the spinners back over the sight screen, and Barrington is that man.

Hmm, Barrington averaged something like 77 batting at 3, 55 at 4 and 41 at 5. Feels like if you're going to pick Barrington he should bat at 3.

Hammond also has a better average at 3 than 4, but that's largely down to one series vs NZ...

I'd like to protest the inclusion of the arm and will of Douglas Jardine in this England XI. Disrespectful.

 

[mr_mister]

Why are Barrington's FC stats so meh? (relative to his test record)

 

[jimmy101]

Voges syndrome maybe?

Not sure I agree with Barrington being in the England first XI tbh
