He might've added it himself!!was anyone suggesting otherwise? There are lots of other people he is not related to.
If it's an away series, I'm surprised he doesn't spend the whole commentary gig homesick and phoning his analysis in.Also love that on their podcast they get Harmison’s views and then he qualifies them by saying he didn’t actually watch the match in question. Cheers Steve
You do remember what happened last time bairstow batted at 3 in india, right?I wonder if Tongue is fit, he was replaced by Potts for the Windies ODI's.
The Dawson non-selection stinks.
If he wasn't the VC I don't think he makes the team. Strongest Top 7 would be Crawley, Duckett, Bairstow, Root, Brook, Stokes, Foakes which also gives you the best keeper and someone who can play spin too.
Ehh, before the ashes he made that double hundred vs ireland. Struggled in NZ but before that he had a 9 match spree across 3 series where he averaged 45 against a good (injury struck, tbf) NZ attack in england, SA in england with a full strength attack and a working dukes, and pakistan in the UAE roads.If Pope has a stinker this series, is it time to start questioning his place in the side?
His Ashes was cut short, but not breathtaking to say the least, he may have been called to be dropped sooner anyway. He averages 15 against Aus and 20 vs India at the moment.
It's still early days but would you be a bit worried? My key concern is that I just don't think he's demonstrating he has the bottle for tough innings against quality bowling. All well and good panning Ireland for a double century but can you do that against the big teams?
whereas Crawley is showing that he has it in him, even if it doesn't come out on a regular basis. So I understand persisting with him maybe moreso (wasn't saying that before the Ashes mind)
I mean, come on.before the ashes he made that double hundred vs ireland.
Oh well then, it’s all overStokes posting positive videos on his insta.
Hahahaha god they’re just the pitswhere are we discussing the offensive move from the english to bring a personal chef to india
imagine getting pumped 5-0 and not even eating genuine butter chickenwhere are we discussing the offensive move from the english to bring a personal chef to india
Bohannon?Ehh, before the ashes he made that double hundred vs ireland. Struggled in NZ but before that he had a 9 match spree across 3 series where he averaged 45 against a good (injury struck, tbf) NZ attack in england, SA in england with a full strength attack and a working dukes, and pakistan in the UAE roads.
I don't think he's perfect, but from my memory of county cricket there's noene spectacular kicking down the door right now, and pope's the best non root #3 england have had in AGES.
Bohannon isn't a bad call. Forgot he existed. I'de still persist with pope for a while longer, but it's nice to know there's other options.Bohannon?
I mean with regards to his knee you oafOh well then, it’s all over
