I just looked it up and was surprised to see that Shahid Afridi did actually cop a ban (the one remaining test match and the first two ODIs) after his efforts at Faislabad in 2005. But his tactics were on a different level tbf.

Or selected, in several instances.
To be honest apart from Nasser and Athers, the quality of English commentators isn't great.
Bumble was always good value but he was binned off by Sky a couple of years ago. Mark Butcher is OK but no more than that.
KP, Vaughan, Swann, Knight are shite of the highest order.

I don't mind Knight and Swann but Morgan is as dull as dishwater and KP is annoying like Hayden as he never knows when to STFU.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't think of many occasions where he's been fully fit and not selected in that period.
He's either injured and comes in during a series or gets injured during it.
This has to be the first he's been fit for three on the bounce.

Being honest, your memory is more likely to be correct than mine. I was thinking about the start of the Ashes, but maybe he was injured then. Was he injured when Robinson and Potts played ahead of him in our home tests in 2021 and 2022? Perhaps he was. And those guys justified their selection anyway. For me, the big change in the last 12 months was his performance in the home matches.

Ashwin running down the wicket has unleashed Angry Ben Duckett.
More or less the same as regular Ben Duckett, tbf.
