It isn't, but I have chosen to selectively forgot every other instance to suit my personal narrative and bias.Yep it’s the only errant run given in the history of cricket
Malan being dropped will be very harsh after the year or two he had, the only criticism of him was facing spin and he answered that in Bangladesh wellThe guy is something special. Move Malan or someone else if needed.
Who do you drop from the squad, when this is likely the first team? Stokes is the reason he's not in the squad.The guy is something special. Move Malan or someone else if needed.
Ben Stokes got him dropped, simple as that.I think is IPL performance has probably got him dropped.

I'd be gobsmacked if the Ireland series decided anything, a banana skin for England to avoid and decision if to try some newbs for the future or risk injury to players likely to play for the World CupIt sounds to me like they've decided Archer is not going to be fit for the World Cup and won't be considered.
I don't think the Ireland series will decide much, in fact I'm not even sure most of the first team will even play it.
it then boils down to the Stokes factor which isn't a bizarre cricket talent show for TV but that he can seemingly do nothing in a tournament then single handedly basically win it.....Should Stokes even make the team if he's not bowling? Saw an article that Harry Brook would miss out if Stokes plays, surely Brook would be a better than Stokes purely as a bat
Tbf he did do pretty well in the 2019 odi WC in the group stage from memory.it then boils down to the Stokes factor which isn't a bizarre cricket talent show for TV but that he can seemingly do nothing in a tournament then single handedly basically win it.....
I know having read a lot of it that on BBC Have Your Say the regular posting was to drop Stokes during the T20 World Cup. He made 2, 6 and 8, then held England together to beat Sri Lanka with 42no, and did much the same in the final, 52no when England had slipped to 84/4 although for me the key was Shaheen Afridi getting injured, much is made of fielding saving runs etc, well his trying to save a few runs cost them the final basically (in saving or trying to, can't remember which, a boundary which would have cost no more than a poor ball did/does)
One of our finest WC wins, that one.Tbf he did do pretty well in the 2029 odi WC in the group stage from memory.
Crazy that his knee lasted that long honestly....One of our finest WC wins, that one.
Yeah I really thought 2029 was going to be Harry Brook's year, but can't say the Stokes recall in his place didn't pay off again.Crazy that his knee lasted that long honestly....
yeah, probably a good idea they're probably worried about are seamers being made of glass though.Personally think they should drop a quick. 6 of them in the squad is overkill, particularly in India.
