Lrrr Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Classic Alec 'Surrey' Stewart on the debate criticises Bairstow being called back into the squad (fair) over Foakes but he uses the fact that JB has averaged 18 over the last 12 months but then quoted Foakes' test average (44 ish?) rather than Foakes' 1st class average in the last 12 months which is 26, so why would Foakes deserve a space in the team either? Starting to think Tom Abell could be in with a shout next summer #3 if Denly doesn't push on or moves up to open if Sibley drops out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I can't imagine Anderson wanting to stick around much longer. Our batsmen consistently drop him and the other bowlers in the shit, leaving them nothing to bowl at, and giving them 3-4 days of toiling for good measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to rate him as highly as Shane Warne with the batting skills of our Viv. Funny really as Root couldn't. Trust him to tie an end up.

That said the make up of the batting lineup is so new and untested that 270 wasn’t a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t appreciate the sheer class they are till there gone in some ways Going to be interesting what happens with them in the next few years and how long they can go on for.

Had Archer been fit today one of them would missed out - glad I’m not England captain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
