Lrrr Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 See Jack's been made the scapegoat of the 1st test, Root and Denly as front line test match spinners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 That's got to be a minuscule outside leg, roughly half the ball inline on hawkeye, so how much of the ball needs to pitch inline to count as inline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No spinner, no (proper) wicket Keeper, Silverwood has to return to the UK (I know its not his fault), alleged racism, beaten quite comfortably in the first "Test"?!? A regular 'fun riot'.

Northern Red Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 That's a shocker. The only good thing about an England collapse was knowing that Bob would be coming in off his long run straight after play. Always worth tuning in for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Stokes plays by the looks of it as his dad`s on the mend but no Pope, Woakes or Leach who are all still sick. Bairstow in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is Root under bowls himself and Denly isn't good enough as a frontline spinner, if the seamers get no joy even if the pitch suits them then you need that alternative, Bess is hardly bad with the bat either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza1982 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I can’t figure out the selection what with the batting issues we’ve now had for the last few years. I thought the plan was to introduce 2 or 3 young up and coming players such as Sibley, Crawley and Pope in readiness for the next Ashes. Yet we’ve still gone and (apart from Sibley) picked the same batsmen that have tried and failed. Baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
