And Its Smith Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Don't see a problem with taking Batty at all. They are taking a 19 year old and 21 year old who will both debut so looking at youth and future too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansari however is a complete joke and it's Alec Stewart being up the arse of the selectors. He's been injury prone and barely fit for 2 minutes and he's in the squad. Hope jack takes 10 next week and serves up a big FU to the selectors At least we will have Leach available to defend our title next summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins must wonder what he has to do as well. 7 tons and 2 double tons in FC this season. Jenkins? Being honest I prefer the inclusion of Ansari to that of Batty, similar average for wickets and he can bat. He's been selected before when he got injured hours after so you know England would want to have another look at him, better to do it against Bangladesh than a big team. We've got Ali and Rashid in the squad so 2 experienced international spinners so no need for Batty imo. Trego not being subtle about his opinion on team selection either.

Lrrr Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 It's not like he'll get selected for England so probably doesn't have to worry about rubbing them up the wrong way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Kieswetter has waded in as well not being happy at Leach's exclusion, someone made a great point in response that Bell was considered a backwards step in terms of development due to his age, so how Batty is considered the right way forward is anyone's guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I went to school with Leachy, great bloke and was good at cricket but never realise he'd make it this far! It is farcical that he hasn't been selected. If Batty has a cracking tour and takes a load of wickets so what? He's going to retire the following season. The whole thing is a sham.

He's not in the squad and if you ask me that might be his last game for Yorkshire as a result. Bairstow wants to play. Strauss - the ex Middlesex player - has blocked it. Hope this all increases the draw potential... I actually can't see it being a draw Yorkshire have to win and if we win then so will Middlesex.

Lrrr Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 So Jack Leach and Craig Overton in the lions squad, George Bartlett, Ben Green and Tom Banton in the 'young lions' squad. Bess and Abell both get overseas placements in Aus/NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
