without Bazball there isnt a Pope 100, a Duckett 100, Crawley doesnt play this well and none of these spinners who performed adequately get even called up

too many people lacking perspective ffs
Pope never made a ton before McCullum took over?

And come on, England pick mediocre spinners very other year

Pretty sure Pope made a great ton in SA against Rabada, Nortje, Philander before bazball
Pope never had issues with handling pace

he was and still is **** against spin. past England teams would have stuck him at 5 or 6 and asked him to nurdle his way and play traditional test cricket that would have got him out soon once he was in his 30s and ate up a lot of deliveries

Bairstow has 100 tests.... great

Average 36 lol

I hope he doesn't play for England again, a moaner who has had more chances than anyone. Stokes ****ed up the ashes by deciding he wanted his bloody golf buddy to score 100 (Failed on 99).

Hasn't scored anything in India. Still according to some he's an "All time great"

no indian bowler except siraj averages more than 30 this series

no eng bowler averaging under 30 this series
Only 3 England bats averaging over 30, (only Crawley over 40). And Pope has been useless for all but one of his innings.

Interestingly, the batting averages exactly matches the batting order.....

Stokes is the most interesting one. He used to look like a tailender vs ashwin but has played him more comfortably here than he ever has. Unfortunately it's just been replaced by him looking like a tailender vs Kuldeep instead.
