Simple, England just picks Botham and its over.

nah they’re just not that good at real sports (it’s not like the rise in popularity in football made them good at that).

it’s the English mentality - this is the same country that sold the genius Kevin Pietersen out

Yea massive difference in mentality between England and Australia

Should Miandad come in for Yousuf or could Younis be asked to open so both Miandad and Yousuf can play?

Younis at 3 is probably already one spot higher than ideal in many conditions tbh, and both those openers are actually pretty good by post-1970 standards.

Worth a mention Ganguly averages 57.82 but falls short of the 1000 runs cut off by 17 runs.
