And Its Smith Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I would like to see 1. Burns 2. Sibley 3. Bracey 4. Root 5. Lawrence 6. Pope 7. Overton 8. Robinson or Stone 9. Leach 10. Broad 11. Anderson As Stokes cannot play this gives a good balance with 5 bowlers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Edgbaston allowed to be at 72% capacity for each day with 18,000 people in attendance of the test as latest pilot event..... compared to the 10,000 total allowed for championship play off event in Wembley Yeah that makes sense...

Lrrr Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Bracey in? Billings has been called up as well breaking the no IPL player idea. Interested as to who the next glovesman would have been after Buttler, Bairstow, Bracey, Billings and Foakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 1 minute ago, TomF said: It's because they got the data back from the first test events and it was good, so attendances are allowed to increase. Bears are allowed nearly 7k in for next game. PO Final allocations/sale was already decided before the data came out unforunately. Surely they could have quickly ramped it up? Hosting at Wembley isn't an issue and clubs probably had reserve lists in case extra tickets became available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news for Glos fans and thoroughly deserved for the dirty gashead. I'd like to see Hameed come straight in for either Sibley or Burns. Burns has more form right now, though.

Lrrr Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 So what does Overton have to do to get an international call up? Apparently Robinson will be picked Wednesday and Sky Sports News reporting if England go for a 4th seamer its between Wood and Stone for the last spot, why's Craig even been picked if he has no chance of making the XI? Craig's been completely dominant at county level over the last 2 seasons, more than likely will be picked to go to Australia but seems like he'll struggle to get games before going out there.

Well Robinson being a Sussex player, they haven't had many over the last decade or so The annoying part is despite probably getting nowhere near the squad he probably won't be released to play for Somerset and instead will have to be on drinks duty with 2 bowlers infront of him if an injury/concussion/covid occurred Edited May 31, 2021 by Lrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looks like a debut for Gloucestershire’s James Bracey. Very good batting average and bats 3 for Gloucestershire. Good luck to him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Hard to know if what they will do tomorrow without a natural all rounder in the squad. I hope they are brave pick Overton at 7 so they have 5 bowlers and can then pick Broad and Anderson. 1. Sibley 2. Burns or Crawley 3. Bracey 4. Root 5. Pope 6. Lawrence 7. Overton 8. Leach 9. Robinson 10. Broad 11. Anderson They will be worried about that tail though Think Bracey will bat at 7, four bowlers without Overton and then Burns, Crawley and Sibley top 3 Edited June 1, 2021 by And Its Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you count as all rounder, Robinson has average of 38 this season (1 not out) and 2 fifties. England didn't pick another genuine all rounder, guess the closest would have been Higgins but probably not eye catching enough with the ball for England, they thought Craig Overton was too slow.

Northern Red Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Was always going to be a straight choice between Robinson or Overton. No spinner is quite the call, especially with the weather as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
