Mostly agree though Pope's record is pretty modest afaic. Not many on that list have a 200 against Ireland propping things up a bit.Most runs for England at #3. Think pope's doing fine. Pope obviously has flaws (nervy starter, not been great vs spin in asia) but the constant aura around his discussion of "Hes a few bad games away from being dropped" is crazy, especially given what England had before him. People forget dawad Malan,or johnny bairstow at 3 getting bowled through the gate over and over in Asia.
I just find it hard to have strong opinions about him. He's fine.
