England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

[Prince EWS]

Hopefully Crawley can kick on to a marvellous 15 (25).

I hope he makes an eye-catching 9 so he can have a Crawley v Quiney thread.

Allegedly Stokes said that Livingstone is the third spinner. Joe Root allrounder confirmed.

Yeah it always seemed like that to me.

 

[trundler]

That makes him the new Dexter.

 

[Prince EWS]

That makes him the new Dexter.

The new Dexter sucked though.

We got you 7 Sajid now here’s 8 Livingstone!

8 Livingstone (6)

 

[morgieb]

Lol, batting 8 yet is also the 3rd spinner. It’s like the Ravens but in real life.

 

[Burgey]

The clash between former Western Suburbs second grader Haris Rauf and Parramatta batsman Ben Duckett may well decide this enthralling contest.

Yeah Livingstone is basically @Shri in this game.

Joe Root allrounder confirmed.

Time for a Root vs Jadeja vs Sobers thread ?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Possibly delayed for a day if England can’t raise a team.

This is why the squad was madness. No Second frontline spinner when Leach has chrohn's disease. Few frontline bowling options in general.

From the guardian....
"But late changes and even a 24-hour delay to the match are now possible, with a mystery “bug” having swept through the camp and only Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Keaton Jennings, Ollie Pope and Joe Root present during Wednesday’s final training session at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.


While the session was optional, an England spokesperson confirmed that “13 to 14 members” of the tour party were suffering from symptoms of a “bug”, including “six or seven” of the 16-man playing squad. This includes Stokes himself, while Jack Leach, who manages Crohn’s disease, is also understood to be suffering symptoms. Will Jacks and Rehan Ahmed, the two reserve spinners, also missed nets."

lol i hope Root's back and shoulder are loose.

Ooops, my dad has gone for the first test so I hope he gets to see a game.

The England XI is like their 1920s teams.

My old man might get a game then seeing as he closer to that era than most ?
