    Kagiso Rabada

    Its all going to come down to how South Africa use him. With no Steyn, Phillander or Morkel in a few years, you could see this guy having to carry the attack at 22. If thats how they go, chances are he picks up a few injuries along the way

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    That was what I was getting at, as it stands we get rid of Woakes, as he's clearly not good enough. If we had given Footitt a chance, however, and he had made such an impact he was undroppable, then someone else has to go when Finn comes back. Remember Hoggard got dropped after one bad game...

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Who else do you drop? Finn has looked genuinely world class to me since he came back into the side. For me, Finn has been better than Anderson since coming back into the side

    Adil Rashid's amazing leg-spin in the Big Bash

    I reckon working with Jason Gillespie has done him a ton of good, and you just have to accept that there are times he's going to bowl rank long hops and full tosses, because when he gets it right he's as good as anyone in the world. If England don't pick him for the world cup I'll be massively...

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Its good to see that we've pulled it back somewhat, but I'm absolutely disgusted with the decision to play Woakes over Footitt. It reeks of a decision to avoid a selection headache to me; Finn walks into the team when he's back, and if Footitt comes in and performs (which I believe is...

    Rate the current Test teams on the basis of how over/underrated their players are

    England over rated? No one gave us a chance against South Africa

    Is Chris Gayle some sort of perverted misogynist or can everyone just settle down?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2qKpz_lQOY That's what a reporter getting harrassed looks like, Chris Gayle just asked if she wanted a drink. No one had an issue when a channel 10 reporter was all over a guy in his speedos.

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    Cook ? Taylor Root Bairstow(wk) Stokes Ali Rashid Wood Broad Anderson The opening spot is a hard one. Lyth is probably due a bit of time back at Yorkshire, but there really is no one better in the English county game. Hales isn't even opening for Notts so shouldn't be anywhere near, and Lees...

    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    Whats the Aussie opinion on Lyon? As an England fan I think the guy is as good a spinner as anyone in the world right now, but he doesn't seem to get a mention

    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    Why the hell are England even looking at Finn? Just when you think they've turned a corner they do what they've always done and go back to old failures. Footitt must be cursing the selectors, probably the best bowler in the country bar Anderson and Broad when hes on song and can't even get a...

    Lees is having a **** time of it now to be fair. Bairstow and Leaning are the big thing at the moment

    8th thread - pick the Aus attack at Cardiff

    I really can't believe you guys would drop Starc for Johnson. If Harris hadn't retired I'd of definitely dropped Johnson. Hes by far and away the weak link of the bowling attack, unless you give him the perfect track to bowl on, which England clearly aren't going to do.

    Player Ratings thread

    Cook 6 and Lyth 4 seems a bit off. Cook had a good game as captain, but he doesn't deserve better than average for his 32 runs. Lyth had a below average game, but his 2nd innings partnership with Bell was vital in the context of the game.

    Watson & Marsh

    I can't remember ever thinking Watson was a quality test cricketer, and even before the first game as an England fan was delighted to see him batting at 6, him and Haddin are clear weak links. If I was going into that first test I'd of played a proper number 6 batsman, as the batting is a major...

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2015

    Loving the new England, need a better bowling attack though. Willey isn't great with the ball, Wood can be expensive, and so can Finn. What does Mark Footitt have to do to get a game? Hes the best bowler on the county circuit and England won't even look at him. Any reason the kiwis aren't...

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2015

    Root is world class,but some of the others have been poor today. Lyth you can't really fault, but cooks shot was bad, and ballance was absolutely piss poor. Bells was a beauty so you can't really call him out on it. Unfortunately for Lyth it seems a lot of England 'fans' have already written him...
