*Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

Reasons I can think of to give Shami the new ball over Siraj in England:

That's it.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

He was OK, but 35 isn't great in home conditions even allowing for a dropped catch or two. I just thought he looked pretty innocuous most of the time. As he did in helpful conditions at the start of this match.

Fair enough.

Out of interest are any/many of England's injured bowlers likely to be available for the SA tests? Which ones?

Whatever Broad has done this summer, he was still right to complain about being dropped for the Windies. Quite frankly if he averaged 100 this summer he’d still have been right. It was a ludicrous decision at the time.

Go on Zak lad, 24 more of them plz

It was especially ludicrous when Woakes - distinctly the worse performer - was retained.

I for one am shocked that England's bowlers would bowl brainlessly at the Indian tail.

Over 60% of all Bumrah runs have been scored in England lol. Green track bully.

Well that's the question isn't it. One thing in Broad's favour is that we can actually get him into the park for five days. I think that Archer and Stone are completely out of the picture. Probably Wood too. I genuinely don't know what's happening with Robinson. The Overtons are both fit at present and should be available. Jamie certainly is. I don't actually know about Craig tbh.

Too hot to handle for Lees.

Classic Bumrah

Lol **** sake.

Mahmoud?

Mahmoud?

Sorry, no idea. Ditto Woakes actually.

???

They had the tail at 98/5.

Village idiots bully actually.

Meanwhile England is beating Australia 6-3 at halftime in the rugby. Bad game so far.

6-6 at HT after England led 6-0
Someone called Swain has been sent off. But I don't know which side he plays for.

 

[BazBall21]

40 extras. Remarkable. Loads of freebies too.

Eight overthrows

Never a good look though, and always tempting the cricketing gods to piss all over you.

Does anyone who can filter Cricinfo stats well find out which teams are least effective at bowling sides out after the sixth wicket falls in the last five years, say? Obviously I'd think England would be on the worst end of the spectrum but could just be because I watch them bowl utter filth to tailenders so often.
