It’s unfair on salt (in particular) Don’t think they’d drop him for Salt. Livingstone more likely as he can bowl a bit, like Stokes can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingstone more likely as he can bowl a bit, like Stokes can If you are picking purely on batting, you go with Salt at the moment. Livingstone still has a bit to prove with the bat for me. Ali, Rashid, Woakes (Willey), Curran, Topley, Woods (Jordan) is more than enough However, either option would be better right now than Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I think Buttler wants 7 bowling options so that might edge Livingstone over Salt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Stokes - does nothing with the bat then pulls off a ridiculous bit of fielding and takes a key wicket ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Taking one specialist spinner to Pakistan is a bit out there.. incredible really how far the reputation of Parkinson has fallen in all formats over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looking forward to this series. Last time we were in Pakistan for test matches Shaun Udal played. Long time ago. Some question marks over the team depending on the pitch and bowling fitness of Stokes. Would have said Jennings over Duckett but latter opened in the warm up game so not sure. Chance that Brook doesn’t play and both Jacks and Overton/Wood play but fancy them to go batter heavy. Crawley Jennings/Duckett Pope Root Stokes Brook Foakes Jacks/Wood/Overton Robinson Leach Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) They had named the team but I presume that's now subject to change: Crawley, Duckett, Pope, Root, Brook, Stokes, Foakes, Livingstone, Robinson, Leach, Anderson.

PHILINFRANCE Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Not a bad start. 50 up in the 8th over, no wickets down - yet. Make that 103/0 off 14 overs, CRR 7.35. Drinks being taken with Crawley 58 and Duckett 42, both N.O., obviously. Edited December 1, 2022 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be forgiven for thinking so at this point wouldn't you? Look at some of...... actually, all of those bowling figures. I guess this answers the question of whether England would carry on with the bazball approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
