Open End Numb Legs Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Mitchell Johnson has just gone massively up in my estimation. Sandpapergate was one of the worst examples of pre meditated cheating ever seen in sport. Those involved should have been banned for life in my opinion. Breaking a rule or law in the heat of the moment is part of sport but the idea of taking sandpaper onto a cricket pitch shows a mentality that does not belong anywhere. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/67611042 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I know we’re taking 4 front line spinners but Bashir really England quality? Wouldn’t have said so yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Looking at that they must be banking on Stokes being able to bowl. I know spin will dominate, but only 4 frontline quicks seems light. Edited December 11, 2023 by Northern Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Ordinarily you'd say Bashir is there purely to get experience, but this regime have shown they aren't afraid to throw players in if they think they're good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 We were joking at the ground in the summer that due to just how bare the cupboard is, Bashir probably wasn’t far away from the squad. I can’t say I actually thought he’d make it though, at least not from the start, maybe drafted in after some injuries and poor performances. It seems there’s been a Lions tour to the UAE the past month or so where they’ve basically taken every single bloke under about 25 that has ever bowled a bit of spin and Bashir had came out in front. Taking four spinners to India in which Rehan Ahmed at 20 has the second most amount of test wickets does rather suggest what we should all know however, that we’re going to get thrashed.

PHILINFRANCE Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Given the Taunton 'roads' of a few years ago, who would have thought that Somerset would have two spinners in England's squad for a tour of India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markthehorn Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Will Leach be first choice spinner ? Got a few options. I fear it will be like last time - we will get totally spun out of the tests but hoping to be proved wrong . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
