Should have selcted riyan parag

He is injured too.

A replay of the first match so far, eww, I'll try not to mention Tom Banton as that'll get tedious, after the first half dozen times.

 

[honestbharani]

come on man.. Buttler seems freed up and refreshed. AT least a big tick already for Bazball in this format.

 

[Bahseph]

Gavaskar and Shastri ripping into Brook about smog made me giggle. They definitely didn’t like the comment I gather.

 

[Molehill]

Buttler v India again…

 

[grecian]

Well done Jove, that was abject, but not your fault you're picked.

 

[honestbharani]

Archer doing India a solid there.


Both players England picked today seem to be infinitely better than the ones they have replaced. Jamie Smith is some talent, huh.

 

[Molehill]

It’s almost like this lot aren’t used to playing a game as long as T20…

 

[trundler]

Hot take but this current English side would benefit from Root's presence. He would reduce England's problems against spin and provide some consistency.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah maybe they dont need Salt.

Duckett
Buttler (c)
Root
Brook (vc)
J Smith (wk)
Bethell
Livingstone
Archer
Rashid
Topley/left arm option
Wood/pace option

Will be bloody good for a T20 WC in Ind and SL.

Absolutely. I would play Root for Brook, Curran for Overton and Saqib for Wood here in this team.

You can always see Tilak Verma is something special. There was an old article during the India tour of Windies in 97 when Lara made a couple of 70s in the Jamaica test. The writer in The Sportstar called it great batsmanship whereas most other good knocks he had seen that year were just great batting. Similar to that, you can see there is a sense of world class batsmanship about Tilak here. SKY and Abhishek are breathtaking, Samson is artistic but this guy is just world class. Hopefully he gets into the test side soon too.

 

[honestbharani]

A future test side that reads -

Jaiswal
Rutu
Sai Suds
Gill
Tilak
Jurel (wk)
Washy
Harshit
Kuldeep/4th seamer
Bumrah
Arshdeep


will be a very good line-up even in SENA conditions.

Nothing particularly original in there, meh.

Anyway, getting to 165 was a bit better from support acts than last match and the bowling looks better, maybe a contest..
