England making up for the pedestrian 4 an over run rate of the Lords test
Well, that's the assumption BMac seems to be making, but I never thought we'd see a 41 year old selected as a seam up bowler for England either, so what's three more years on the clock to a (in the nicest possible way) freak?I guess Uppercut's point was that they might be keeping Woakes around because he could be useful in the next home Ashes, which would be a bridge too far for Jimmy.
I don't agree with the handling of Jimmy either. Moreso because I hate the idea of viewing every other test series as Ashes prep, but I agree with this point too. Age-related decline is extremely non-linear and uncertain, and they're behaving like it's something they can predict.Well, that's the assumption BMac seems to be making, but I never thought we'd see a 41 year old selected as a seam up bowler for England either, so what's three more years on the clock to a (in the nicest possible way) freak?
I wonder if Sinclair really will bat 8.Well this is the first time we have faced proper Bazball. Alzarri and Jayden looked a bit shocked. I don;t know why, surely we prepped for this?
I feel Motie missing out is going to be a big problem because Sinclair's off spin has been super expensive recently.
This cricinfo-tier joke should be banned.1/56. Good work for the PowerPlay.
Nothing says "Saving Test cricket" quite like a one-sided 2.5 day game.Can we have a five day test now it's the holidays please - show a bit of decorum
NoIs this the worst ever touring team?
I would have him at 6 tbhI wonder if Sinclair really will bat 8.
People were saying this in 2017 right up until they won a testIs this the worst ever touring team?
Seriously?! We've sent worse teams then this in the last 20 years let alone throughout history.Is this the worst ever touring team?
Yeah you could probably make an argument for him to bat even higher. His batting has improved at a massive rate (at the expense of his bowling unfortunately).I would have him at 6 tbh
I reckon he has the second highest FC average in this team, after Kraigg.Yeah you could probably make an argument for him to bat even higher. His batting has improved at a massive rate (at the expense of his bowling unfortunately).
