Dolman_Stand Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Stokes' absence makes team selection very tricky for the next test, think we will go for: Burns Sibley Crawley Root Pope Buttler Woakes Curran Bess Wood Broad Alternatively Root could bat at 3 and Dan Lawrence slots in instead of Crawley but bats below Pope in the order, also Root could play himself as the main spinner to fit a fourth seamer in but also allwo Crawley & Lawrence to play.

Lrrr Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I'd love to see Dan Lawrence get a go, we know what Crawley can do but I don't think we will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson has said quite recently in fact that he wants to play Test Cricket for as long as he can so it’ll be interesting to see what he’ll have to say today.

Admin phantom Posted August 14, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 England will play three Twenty20s and three one-day internationals against Australia next month. The matches, due to be played in July, were postponed as part of the restructured schedule because of the coronavirus pandemic. The T20s will be at Southampton's Ageas Bowl on 4, 6 and 8 September, with the second live on BBC TV Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester will stage the ODIs on 11, 13 and 16 September. England play T20s against Pakistan at Old Trafford on 28 and 30 August and 1 September. England's 50-over team, who won the World Cup last year, beat Ireland 2-1 in an ODI series at Southampton that finished earlier this month. "The rivalry between England and Australia is the pinnacle of sporting competition," said England and Wales chief executive Tom Harrison. "These will be thrilling contests and a perfect way to culminate the men's international season in this extraordinary summer." Australia will leave Perth on 23 August and travel to Derby for four inter-squad matches. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been named in the 21-man squad after recovering from an elbow injury. Wicketkeeper Josh Philippe, left-arm pace bowler Daniel Sams and seamer Riley Meredith have also been included. "It's vital for cricket that we do everything we can to keep the game going in these tough times," said Australia head coach Justin Langer. Assistant coach Andrew McDonald will miss the tour to travel to the rearranged Indian Premier League, where he is head coach of the Rajasthan Royals. Australia squad Aaron Finch (capt), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Riley Meredith, Josh Philippe (wk), Daniel Sams, Kane Richardson, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye, Matthew Wade (wk), David Warner, Adam Zampa.

Northern Red Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 There was a 25 minute segment with Atherton, Hussain and Warne today all about captaincy, absolutely brilliant to listen to. It'll be on Sky’s YouTube if you want to see it. Broken record I know but Sky’s cricket coverage is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
