No value in dropping Bairstow for me I’m afraid
eh?
Oh that’s who YJB is. Ignore.
Needs more seamer. Rashid is a one off (I think) and little Sammy Curran is making a big case for himself, so swap them and we’re golden.
forgot about little sam curran didn’t I. Yeah, that then
The price you pay for staying out of the Cricket Threads for so long
Would be fucking lovely if we just randomly decided to drop one of our few established, good test batsmen for bants though
More importantly a 3 “okes” middle order
Like Cook you mean…
The Oval!!!
Got a feeling England will have a 200+ lead before this partnership is broken taps nose
Burns
A Davies
Pope
Bairstow
Buttler
Foakes
S Davies
Some bowlers who can keep wicket in a (massive) emergency)
On dear lord no.
If this happens I’m giving up on cricket altogether and will feign an obsessive interest in badminton
I think it’s time for the return of England’s next great opener Haseeb Hameed
oh.
Carried his bat in that game against Yorkshire 2nds
Although there are bigger, more established names in the party, its actually little Sam who is doing the majority of the heavy lifting.
Not sure when cricket matches started mirroring The Lord of the Rings so closely.
What the fuck happened to him? Played 2 tests and looked to have solved all of our problems and… nothing.
maybe, but these guys aren’t up to scratch and Hales is a world class batsmen in 2 other forms
(He is also a total, total cunt according to my #nottsmates)
Maybe he’s one of those players who inexplicably perform so much better internationally than for his county.
From very shaky memory wasn’t Michael Vaughan a bit like that?
