Similarities for sure with Overton playing the Dilley role. If someone takes an 8fer and turns it into a match winning innings then maybe.

And Its Smith Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Billings can bat as a covid replacement. Like for like as well which is why it couldn’t be Brook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Only change I can see for next test is Anderson for Broad if (a) Anderson is fit and (b) if Broad can’t play four tests in a row. Obviously Billings for Foakes if he isn’t well but he will be outside his 5 day isolation by Friday. I think Crawley will be picked again.

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Finally! Ten for Jack in the match, well done that man. We managed to keep the target below 300 too which I always think is a slight psychological advantage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Well done Jack. Bowled noticeably better today and in the first innings. Fielded well too. Hopefully confidence growing. We all want him to be good enough for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a perennial problem with England's spinners for as long as I can remember, Swann excepted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it really shows how much he helped revolutionise white ball cricket in this country when you consider he took over the captaincy from Ali Cook! The game has moved on so much that a player like Cook wouldn't get near the England team these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
