He has to be in the top five limited overs players in the world. Man of the series without a doubt., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Great innings, amazing resut! It's only just finished for me, recorded the cricket to watch after the football and had to avoid any contact with the outside world, Likely Lads style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I wish it had been a tri series with India, always prefer them to individual series/games. I hope we see the mens team adopt the idea the ladies team are doing of 2 games in a day. Much more compelling to travel to a game if its not just 40 overs max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Heck of a ball to get rid of Kohli, good series win, England's top 3 the best in the world? if Hales can't get in it after so recently hitting a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still England are going to have one hell of a headache when all are fit. They've all scored tons this summer right? A pleasant quandary for the England selectors (for ODIs). On the eve of this present series with India, the England selectors were faced with the invidious task of deciding who they should drop in order to accommodate Ben Stokes back from injury. There were some who were suggesting dropping either Jason Roy or Hales, whilst some were even contemplating dropping Joe Root, he who has now scored successive ODI centuries. Fortunately for the selectors, Hales' injury saved them from having to make what would have been a difficult and sure to be criticised decision.

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Dom Bess and Jack Leach are both playing for the England Lions v India A at New Road at the moment. I was listening to some of the commentary this morning on 5live extra and they were saying on there that there is a strong rumour that both will be picked for the tests. Apparently their performances with the bat have been a major driver, not just their bowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see both being picked for the Tests and, for purely selfish (Supporting Somerset) reasons, I hope they both thrive at Taunton this summer.

They were referring to the tests v Pakistan (Dom) & NZ (Jack) though rather than this game - it`s been so one sided that it`s difficult to draw any conclusions from it apart from the fact that Alistair Cook will fill his boots against mediocre bowling (which I think we all knew anyway) Personally I think one will be called up, probably Jack as they`ll see Dom as lacking experience v the best players of spin in the world.

That sounds far more realistic. Whilst I am sure we all enjoyed watching Dom earlier this year, I think what actually enthralled us was his batting for, if truth be known, his bowling was nothing spectacular - he fielded well, though, and took a fine catch.

Lrrr Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Both barely got a bowl for the lions, I think Bess will get picked personally, currently in possession of the shirt, his batting and fielding in the test will help his cause too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 So a guy who doesn’t play 4 day cricket gets into the squad over Bess. What an absolute ****ing joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 **** the **** off, Rashid turned his back on red ball cricket he shouldn't be allowed to walk back into the England team, Ali is a dodgy pick over the Bess being in possession of the shirt as well, he didn't really do anything to warrant being dropped, great message the ECB are sending out, don't bother playing county cricket as long as you're an established international in one format.

Lrrr Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 The other kicker, Ali has played one 4 day game this summer so its not like he's knocking out runs in the longer format, Bess has averaged 30 in 4 day cricket not to mention his batting in tests.

MichaelRobartes Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Utterly bizarre. I like the reasoning that Jack has been injured and Dom hasn't played much lately when Rashid hasn't played a four day match in a billion years. At least nobody's action will get ****** up though!

It's Somerset's fault and one imagines Mr Bess will be offski after being left out of the last game. I'd be furious if I were him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
