Fordy62 Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Safe to say Bracey will never ever play for England again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I am glad JB caught that one, I think he would have been tempted to just walk there and then if he had dropped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its safe to say it probably kills his career with the gloves for England as by the time Buttler/Bairstow/Foakes are all out the picture a new glovesman could quite easily have emerged, but if he gets his head down and scores runs at county level could see him getting a call back as a batter, England have often struggled at 3 over the years and if he can score runs there it would be a bonus. Having said that I think Tom Abell would be a better shout, no bias of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 NZ lead of 85. Certainly not as bad as I feared it would be. It should be a result now one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Right, players who need binning off Sibley, Pope, Crawley, Bracey - send them back to county cricket to hit runs. We all know IPL players will come back in but at the current rate I'd be looking at this for India Burns Libby (Worcestershire) Abell (Somerset) Root Lawrence (saved only by his first innings) Stokes Buttler Woakes/Robinson (1 game suspension, this test, should be enough) Leach Broad Anderson Edited June 12, 2021 by Lrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 76/7, Root gone. This could be over tonight at this rate. Can they play on after the scheduled close of play if there`s a chance of a result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for Libby based off this season 774 runs at 64.67 vs Hameed's 515 at 44.18. Personally I think Hameed should be allowed a full season of county cricket to see if he can keep the runs flowing, if he came in and suffered it would knock him back again. Thinking about it though the India series is when the hundred is on, have the ECB said what will be happening selection wise? They made such a noise about the best England players playing in the hundred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
