    I agree re 6 bowlers - where's the problem if they also happen to be the best batsmen? Take Malan out , tell JB to just bat and add Foakes at 8 and you have removed 2 of the 3 problem positions, kept a decent tail. and given yourself a spare leggie. Might not work (probably won't) but beats recalling people who aren't good enough. It's really a needs must scenario.

    However after we lose 4-1 Bayliss has to go as test coach. 2 wins this summer against teams with bigger holes than us doesn't mask 3 years of underachievment.

    We won't lose 4-1.

    By the way, someone needs to have a look at this James Bracey fella. Watched him last game, looked tidy... 20 years old, 156, 86*, half century to his name already and well on his way to another.

    Born in brizzle but a Lancs fan I think, probably get stolen from us soon.

    Overton? 

    Really?

    I know it was rumoured, but I am surprised.

    Edited to note that Crane has been included, but no place for Jack Leach :sad26:.

    Overton :ph34r: Don't feel Crane is the right choice, no international experience 16 wickets at a 41 average compared to Leach 44 wickets at 27 and Bess 34 at 23 for comparison would mean selecting Crane would be a joke. Vince is an awful selection if ture, averaging 31 this season. Ballance being honest I don't mind seeing as no one is really knocking the door down for a place and it'd be better taking him than Westley. Foakes don't mind as back up keeper. 

    All aboard the Crane train!

    He is a very special talent, I'm a fully paid up member to his fan club, I believe he can do wonderful things for England. However he was left out of England short format to play 4 day for Hamps, couldn't break into their side... Odd one.

     

    Like I said, the Vince call up is shambolic

    You are doing this purposely, aren't you ;)?

    Seriously, though, are your comments about Stokes and last night, well, serious?

    Yes - full statement released. Got a text about 2 minutes before hand telling me what had occurred. 

     

    Released without charge is interesting to me given Hales has gone back to help. Probably a released without charge but could well have a knock on your door soon. 

     

    Not great given the ashes squad is meant to be announced tomorrow. I gather the ECB Still plan on making that decision tomorrow
