They have a very decent attack. Not quite in same class as Wasim and Waqar but getting there. England don't come up against leg spin much all in County Cricket and they couldn't handle Yasir just as they struggled against Warne so often all those years ago. Warne said on commentary just how good Yasir is and there speaks the best of the lot. England are in for tough series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play I didn't realise that Pakistan had risen so far up the rankings and we had slipped again, oh well, changes still need, Root is in need of an innings which would help.

Super Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Clearly Anderson and Stokes have to come in for Finn and Ballance. Hopefully Moeen is dropped and we play a proper spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don`t know who else is out there - Mason Crane or still too young? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Leach and Batty are the only spinners who've taken more than Ali right now. I don't see either taking his place. Its time Finn was finally packed off, I just don't see his worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Finn`s a strange one. Three poor games and then he`ll win a match single handed. Again though, who would you replace him with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Moeen is dropped and we play a proper spinner. On the Cricket Writers show this morning on Sky Mike Selby mentioned that Monty Panesar is bowling well...... None of them could come with a viable alternative to Moeen. Rashid maybe? That's who Warne thinks should be seriously considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Monty is getting mentioned shows how limited the pool of spin talent is. We we're truly spoilt with Swann and to a degree just like Australia with Warne we will probably struggle to ever find anyone close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Stokes and Anderson will come in for Ball and Finn. Strengthens the batting which is much needed, and the bowling obviously. Dont dismiss Panesar. Got his head right now and bowling well. He's a very good player, much better than Ali. I think they will keep the same batting line up. More likely to drop Vince than Ballance but can't see them doing that just yet. There is certainly an argument for bringing Buttler back for Vince so that Bairstow doesn't need to keep wicket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Will England be brave and pick this team? Cook, Hales, Root, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Alli, Rashid, Broad, Anderson, Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Still would have liked to have seen Rashid picked over Ali, don't see what the selectors fascination is with him, he hasn't scored huge runs anytime lately and hasn't done damage with the ball.... Well except almost taking Bairstow's head off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
