    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    Hi! Here's an option for England's XI : Lawrence, Duckett, Pope, Root, Brook, Cox, Smith, Woakes, Atkinson, Wood, Stone With Root & Lawrence being the spinners if needed. A bit harsh on Bashir as he did well against West Indies, but that way England have a 4 seamers attack, which, in England...

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    I don't know enough about strategies & bowling, but I thought having a balanced attack was key. Does it make sense to bring Wood in the XI because Atkinson performed so well ? I guess it does if the selectors have gone for that :) Though, I would have been curious to see Pennington have a bowl...

    Group B - England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, Oman

    Just watching T20 Blast, Notts vs Northamptonshire, and saw Willey play an amazing innings at n°3, hitting four 6s in a row, and hit 79 in 34 balls. I feel England haven't trusted him enough. His T20 record is : 293 matches / 297 wickets @ 7.85 runs per over / 2 hundreds & 15 fifties with the...

    Group B - England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, Oman

    Group B - England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, Oman

    Buttler Salt Jacks Bairstow Brook Ali Curran Rashid Archer Wood Topley The top 4 hit a century each in the IPL. Brook is a great and exciting talent. A couple of all rounders in Ali and Curran to get the balance of the team right. Wood and Archer for the speeeeed. Topley is one of england’s...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    I'm excited for this 3rd Test match to start! :) It's odd India hasn't recalled Pujara who's been doing well recently. He averages 63 since December, including his 243 not out in January. I think he would have been a better choice than Patidar. Especially with Kohli, Iyer & Rahul not there, he...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Hi! Do you know if Brook will be available for the 3rd Test ? If he is, do you think he'll find his way in the XI ? I'm thinking Bairstow would be the one to make way for him... If he does, that would look like the beginning of the end of his career for England unfortunately... His recent form...

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    With Will Jacks & Livingstone in the XI, is Moeen Ali still needed for England ? Wouldn't Duckett be a better pick, to make England's batting even stronger ? 1. Salt 2. Buttler 3. Jacks 4. Duckett 5. Livingstone 6. Brook 7. Curran 8. Woakes 9. Rehan 10. Rashid 11. Topley That would offer 3...

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    I finally accepted the fact Crawley was part of the Test team. I took me some time... I'm trying to understand what he is doing in this new England ODI era... You have to wait 20 innings before he gets a score. And I feel luck is in the air when he does.... It seems he's wasting the #3 slot. I...

    Ok. Kohli just got out, the #3 spot is free for Ravindra :) 1. D Conway, 2. Q de Kock, 3. R Ravindra 4. R van der Dussen, 5. A Markram, 6. KL Rahul, 7. Rashid Khan (he is after all the best spinner in the world) 8. Jadeja, 9. M Starc, 10. M Henry/H Rauf, 11. Bumrah :)

    Best 2023 WC XI, after match #5 :) 1. D Conway, 2. Q de Kock, 3. V Kohli, 4. R van der Dussen, 5. A Markram, 6. KL Rahul, 7. R Ravindra, 8. Jadeja, 9. M Starc, 10. M Henry/H Rauf, 11. Bumrah :) I admit Ravindra & Markram having to share 10 overs is not ideal, but the batters can chase down...

    England thread

    I feel Sam Curran shouldn't be part of the main XI for England. Woakes, Willey, Topley & Wood should be the main seamers. Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Livingstone, Woakes, Willey, Rashid, Wood/Topley
