    England players and selection discussion thread

    If fit being the operative words... but yes if we're going to take the "let's pick four guys who bowl a bit like Chris Tremlett" approach then all of those plus Pennington and J Overton fit the bill. Atkinson and Stone can bat a bit too. Bit puzzled by the selection of Hull, he has the physical...

    Agreed but I feel our bowling is a bigger worry atm.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    The fact that Warks are 20 points above Lancs despite having won only one game to Lancashire's three suggests that the points weighting for wins and draws still isn't quite right.

    Wouldn't mind a small flutter on Essex finishing second. I reckon Surrey will be in party mood next week.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Boring as it is, it'll be another well deserved championship win for Surrey. They are the best side in England by a distance when it comes to four day cricket. Must say I've been particularly impressed with their recruitment from other counties. They seem to be good at spotting unfulfilled...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Toby Roland-Jones has been in an incredible purple patch for the last few matches, but I don't see much else to suggest Middlesex are good enough to go up or stay up.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    England's frontline spinner Rehan Ahmed currently has 1-120 from 22 overs at Northampton. Bowled two half trackers in the previous over and looks very down on confidence.

    They are really missing Banton. Kohler-Cadmore is such a show pony.

    Well, Surrey have picked six pace bowlers and have only Dan Lawrence to bowl spin...

    I watched a fair bit of the Somerset / Surrey match on the stream and was really impressed with Vaughan. His control was excellent and he actually turns it.

    Best players of spin in 21st century

    Can't believe no-one has mentioned Jayawardene.

    If getting 70-odd at a run a ball more often than not is consistency then I'm happy with Duckett's consistency.

    Also, this Archie Vaughan looks a prospect. Six wickets and counting against Surrey and did well batting at three. How come he's ended up at Somerset when his dad is such a professional Yorkshireman?

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Notts and Lancs really are racing to the bottom in this round. It makes me wonder about the pool of coaches available in county cricket. Notts have consistently under-achieved under Peter Moores despite having the budget to poach all the best players from nearby smaller counties. Jon Sadler has...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Are we going to see any counties get penalised for the pitches that have been dished up this time around? It feels like no-one wants another high-scoring draw so they have all prepared raging Bunsens, especially at Northampton. Dom Leech was bowled round his legs by a ball delivered from left...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Now officially abandoned as a draw. Seems very unfair on Northants who had bowled Glos out for 125 and were well on their way to a convincing win. Surely Glos should be the ones penalised if they can't prepare a safe wicket?

    It looks as though the Gloucestershire - Northants match might be abandoned because of a dangerous pitch. Two Northants batters have been struck nasty blows on the hand already.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    That pitch looks kind of... green. If indeed it is the pitch. Not surprised the ball is seaming about.

    ***Official*** England vs Australia ODI and T20I Series 11th-29th September 2024

    Would have liked to see both Salt and Pepper in the T20 squad tho

    Who are England’s long-term all-rounder options after Stokes and Woakes?

    Aldridge is definitely on the selectors' radar. Suspect they probably consider Higgins' bowling too slow to be effective at Test level. Barnard may be too old by now. I think the case for SCurran as a Test all-rounder has been presented and found wanting. There are some other promising...
