Northern Red Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Jimmy in the squad for the Oval, Footitt drops out. Lyth keeps his place. With the series decided, I'd be leaving Jimmy well alone unless he's absolutely 100% fit. Why risk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Absolutely rest Jimmy. I'd pick the same team. No pressure on Lyth, if he fails again then it's time to review it again. Tom Abel should be on the lions tour this winter with a bit of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 So - where is Aussie? Has he done one since his various guises got outed? As someone said higher up the thread, other than calling England 'a green pebble, Broad a '****' and calling us all bad winners I really can't remember one decent comment about the series as a hole What a****, as Broad may well say about the bloke.....

Gazred Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 He did. But I was at least hoping he'd tell us what he thought about Moeen playing for England before he left Likewise. I am partial to a good old fashioned lynching. If we all just call Broad a cheating **** every other post during the next test, it will be like he never left.

'Orns Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I mean if he just made up the whole thing. Ah - got ya. I really don't think anyone could play at being as Aussie as well as Aussie did. He had a chip on his shoulder and talked a lot of shite. Seemed genuine Likewise. I am partial to a good old fashioned lynching. If we all just call Broad a cheating **** every other post during the next test, it will be like he never left. Brilliant.

MichaelRobartes Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think that England should play Rashid and open with Ali at the Oval. They'll need two spinners in the UAE so why not give Rashid a go and Ali a shot at opening in a dead rubber? Ali opens for Worcs anyway doesn't he? Hardly weakens the batting much with Broad and Wood in the side and Rashid is a good batsman himself. I'd definitely rest Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ali bats 3 for the Super Pears. I'd leave Lyth, maybe with no pressure he can bat with a bit of confidence. Def worth taking a look at Rashid before we go to Dubai. Agree about Jimmy, no need whatsoever to play him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'd drop Ali and bring in Rashid to have a look at him. Tell Ali the reasons and that he will be in the team in the winter. Need to give Rashid a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to give Rashid a go. I agree. We don't need to learn anything about Ali and it *should* spin at the Oval so give Rashid a go. Might as well give Lyth one last chance given the circumstances and the fact that there's no one else really banging on the door just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's not a case of 'dropping' Ali, he's done nothing to be dropped If it were a case of 'dropping' someone, I'd do it with Buttler. Bairstow can keep, Ali moves up the order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't see point in playing two spinners at the oval as neither of them would end up bowling enough. Buttler hasn't done well but we have to stick with him. Rest Ali then, don't drop him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Alternatively, England could give one of the batsmen a rest and play Rashid. Nobody says Ali has to bowl, he's more than good enough to play as a batsman. Surely England could play whoever they want and still win at this point?
