EmissionImpossible Posted May 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I think England are going to have some tough decisions to make after this series because there are a few glaring issues, none of which are easily dealt with. Stoneman isn’t up to it as a fielder or opening batsmen and his age is against him improving. I can see the issue for the selectors as no one is demanding to be picked. Malan is fine when it’s a bouncy pitch but chuck a slow full length at him and he struggles. Yes Hildreth is an option but I don’t really think he’s the answer in the long run and that’s where they need to be looking, a bit like with the selection of Bess. Root needs the captaincy taken away but who do you give it too?? I would stick with Bayliss until the winter and then promote Farbrace or bring Steve Rhodes or Dawson in. Although I do have a soft spot for Mickey Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Ireland put up more of a fight against this lot than we have here. An innings defeat inside 3 days, at home to Pakistan in May, takes a special kind of gutless ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get another 100 - 120 it would at least give us something to bowl at and there is always the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d definitely have either of them over Rashid, Ali or Crane at the moment (and that`s not just county bias). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not blistering early season form though, its more a case of Stoneman needed to be dropped and they're picking a former player whose doing fairly well. Jennings' form isn't enough that it would be questioning the place of someone if Stoneman had been doing alright. Rory Burns has hit more runs for example.
