He can definitely bat. Can see he puts a lot of time into his batting and rates himself to perform.

Might be what puts him ahead of Virdi.
Leach your slow left-armer
Crane/Parkinson fight over wrist-spin position

England can't moan about the spin department. Lots to work with there. Not fully ready possibly but let them get experience.

Clearly not the finished article any of them but neither was Broad and we picked him and got rewarded by sticking with him. Only problem could be which one to go with long term.

Well done Bess, great effort that on debut. Now Agar it (know he isn't at 11 but young spinner on debut doing well with bat)

I go away for a few hours and this happens. Unbelievable. I suppose the Pakistani fans got complacent and thought this might be an innings victory. If England manage anything over a 100 run lead, it could get very tricky for pakistan

So many of the best players are picked early because with the eye and pedigree you feel they will get better the more they play.

Not sure domestic cricket prepares for late developers as much as before.

I think the reason England spinners are so mediocre is clearly because they spend so much time working on their batting
