**Official** Ireland in England 2019

Got to admire Leach, he was a genuine number 11 a few years ago and has worked really hard to make himself a useful lower order player who can chip in. He shows this fight on a regular basis then Moeen will be dropped quickly as Leach is a far superior bowler.

 

[Groundking]

The **** has Leach got nearly 50?

Got a bit of luck early on with plays and misses, but has batted well for most of his innings.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I hope Lyon is watching as if he bowls to Roy in ashes this is what he will do.

Well Moeen has comfortably outbowled him thus far in the match.

Well, this is getting away from Ireland rather quickly. Need a wicket or two soon.

roy looks a lot happier to see a spinner on

One innings with a handful of overs each. If you seriously think Moeen is a better bowler then you need your head examined.

 

[Groundking]

Great stuff Leach well done lad, double it

I mean I don't, but I think the gap between the two in English conditions is closer than you give credit for. Obviously overseas Leach is better.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Batted Leach.

But why pick Moeen when the better bowler will do a better job long term. Not like with Archer coming in to the side his batting is as important anyway as he has played like a prick for ages.

leach is the least sporty looking dude i've seen play international cricket in a while so its good to see him do well

Leach's FC batting record is pretty mediocre so this is impressive. Only 2 50s in 108 innings and a career HS score of 66.

 

[Jarquis]

The half century is great and all but I hope he raises the bat at the Cowan too

 

[trundler]

Roy needs to **** off already

 

[Burgey]

I hope Lyon is watching as if he bowls to Roy in ashes this is what he will do.

Roy will be out before Lyon gets a roll mate. Be surprised if he bowls to him at all tbh

vettori was a pretty good looking dude tho. jack leach looks like a particularly anti-social accountant or software engineer

I was going to ask who was the last 'genuine number 11' (10 at best) to hit a half century as an opener?

I know that there are many night-watchmen that have gone on to get scores but a lot of them have batted higher than 10 in the past.

Ps - Are you watching Stuart Broad?
