Gotta say I feel for Batty here, gotta be a bit crushing waiting 11 years dreaming you'll play test matches again, finally getting called up, doing decently and then getting dropped whilst someone who was basically worse than you keeps their spotThat doesn't explain why they've picked Finn over Ball though.
Ansari also confirmed in for Batty. Rashid still plays. FFS
WaaaaahYep bowled with a broken ankle apparently to help keep Durham up, before the ECB ****ed them over.
Broad isn't that great in Asia.You rate him above Broad in Asia?
I would imagine Batty has done enough to earn himself a start in India. If Ansari looks alright and Rashid struggles again it'll surely be Rashid who misses out.Gotta say I feel for Batty here, gotta be a bit crushing waiting 11 years dreaming you'll play test matches again, finally getting called up, doing decently and then getting dropped whilst someone who was basically worse than you keeps their spot
That was Shahadat HossainI think so, but it's not as though that's why he isn't in the team, is it?
You've destroyed all the positivity in the previous lines with the last 'but' line.I'm gonna go on a limb and say it - while I totally understand England wanting to get some of their bench some game-time before the India series and that this match is their only real option to do so, I think they're gonna slip up as a result. They've dropped two of their key performers from a narrow victory in the first Test for a unproven debutant and a bowler who struggles for rhythm and isn't suited to the pitch.
I think BD can win this one.
Cue 100 on debut for Ansari, 5 wickets for Finn, and a 300 run loss for BD.
tbf I didn't say but.
Strengthens the batting, would've preferred Nasir though.Shuvagata Hom. Bleh.
Is Shaiful injured or did they really prefer Kamrul to him?
