Which is why Garner is an ATG.But if he didn't bowl, HB wouldn't rate his batting.

Yeah if Garner didn't bowl we'd all still rate his batting.Which is why Garner is an ATG.
Don't you understand Bazball? It is not just about hitting. It is about providing clarity of mind, clarity on team XI etc.England team confirmed
This has been a weird product of Stokes/McCullum, teams are always announced 1-3 days before a game.(they leaked it was likely wood to replace Bashir yesterday)
They left it a day later this week as they weren't quite sure on the pitch. There were also rumours that Rehan was going to be left out (could've been visa related). Not convinced I'd have gone with Wood over Robinson, but hope he proves me wrong. At least he can be used slightly more sparingly with Jimmy also playing.England team confirmed

A repeat of this runfest?
I'll rephrase then. I don't understand why they make it public.Don't you understand Bazball? It is not just about hitting. It is about providing clarity of mind, clarity on team XI etc.
But that's kind of the point of Bazball again. It's just saying that we have a plan, we know what we're going to do. You do what you like, it won't change us.I'll rephrase then. I don't understand why they make it public.
Not sure what was wrong with the team being announced at the toss/the morning of the test.
Sides could change their plans based off our early announcements.
True enough, just can see it backfiring on a day when the weather changes between the announcement of the side and the day of the game.But that's kind of the point of Bazball again. It's just saying that we have a plan, we know what we're going to do. You do what you like, it won't change us.
Had to do a double take on the date when I saw Mishra and Gambhir's names.A repeat of this runfest?

Ran his mouth before the Ashes and yet he was largely poor.I don't think Robinson's ever been the sharpest tool in the box. Even if he does believe what's been attributed to him here, someone should have advised him to keep those thoughts to himself.
It remains a mystery to me that he's even allowed to do interviews. Was the kitman not available?I don't think Robinson's ever been the sharpest tool in the box. Even if he does believe what's been attributed to him here, someone should have advised him to keep those thoughts to himself.
Yeah, I absolutely get the logic re naming a team internally early for the clarity it provides for the team (how much difference does it make? I don't know, but as I say, I cant get why they do it), but announcing it has the potential for a tangible disadvantage and surely it wouldn't mess up internal harmony or anything if they just kept it quiet?True enough, just can see it backfiring on a day when the weather changes between the announcement of the side and the day of the game.
