hmm, perhaps not, but the way our bowlers keep getting injured, anyone around any of the squads could end up in the World Cup squad, Atkinson an unknown at this level, Archer won't be fit and Mark Wood is Mark Wood. They will want at least one Fast bowler.
Carse is arse.
His 70 odd at the Oval was really fluent. It looked that of a very good player. Of course, I was disappointed he didn't ton up because it was far more convincing that his big ton the previous test to that so maybe his now kicking on and will help move his first class career record in the right direction.
Family holiday whilst his Dad does a spot of commentary?
Matty Parkinson has done well on loan at Durham 19@31.00 from his 6 matches.
You'd think we'll need an off-spinner too, although Root might do that, I suppose. Jacks has done nothing this summer to merit a recall.
I thought he was a batter who bowled a bit but that seems to be the opposite now. If there's a lions tour then he's a contender but some way off tests.
Agreed but don't rule out something funky from the captain and coach when all logic suggests that Dawson should be on the plane.
Yeah, two lefties plus Rehan turning it the same way isn't ideal, especially when we know they love their match ups with the left handers so much.
Yeah he played as an opener and didn't bowl in his first couple of games. Now he's batting 9 and bowling unchanged for sessions at a time.
For years we discussed the lack of spinning options coming through who might make a reasonable pick. It doesn't help that some are stymied by the lack of remotely friendly conditions given April May & September fc matches but it is what it is.
English spinners basically have to be picked on the eye Test rather than results given this.
