Why hasn’t he been given a game for England?If he gives himself the opportunity Northeast could become only the third player with two 400+ scores in FC cricket after Ponsford and Lara. It would only be the twelfth 400+ score in FC cricket all told.
Because he averages under 40 IN FC cricket, and both of his potential 400's have come in the past 18 months when England have had a settled batting lineup.Why hasn’t he been given a game for England?
Denly, Hameed, Roy, Lawrence, Crawley etc etc have all been given chances & have worse recordsBecause he averages under 40 IN FC cricket, and both of his potential 400's have come in the past 18 months when England have had a settled batting lineup.
Renshaw cannot bowlSomerset not picking Bashir yet have had Renshaw bowling before lunch.
Unless Bashir isn't fully fit to bowl then that's very poor from Somerset.
Hameed and Roy are openers, not #3's/middle order bats, Crawley has mostly been treated as an opener and is a bit of a nepotism pick, Can't speak to Lawrence or deny but they may have just been in better form or offered more pre bazball (bowling, etc).Denly, Hameed, Roy, Lawrence, Crawley etc etc have all been given chances & have worse records
They should name a stand after him...obviously in the Northeast section.Northeast has now made the highest FC score at Lord's beating Gooch's 333.
His two monster scores have both been in division two in the last 24 months. Without those two innings we wouldn’t be talking about him.Hameed and Roy are openers, not #3's/middle order bats, Crawley has mostly been treated as an opener and is a bit of a nepotism pick, Can't speak to Lawrence or deny but they may have just been in better form or offered more pre bazball (bowling, etc).
RIP Compton stand. Long live Northeast Stand.They should name a stand after him...obviously in the Northeast section.
I'll get behind this. Give the people what they want!RIP Compton stand. Long live Northeast Stand.
