I think that was the point of the question being asked on TMS - is the game there to make money (yes), or is making money a means to enable the playing of the game (not so much).

Malan then

At least we’ll get to 40/3 a bit quicker I suppose

I mean, yeah, okay, might as well. Another one with at exactly one first class innings this year but at least it was a really good one.

Andrew miller on Cricinfo is somehow pining for the Joe denly era.

“you wonder if England were too hasty in binning off a man with an average of 29.53, 24 double-figure scores in 28 visits, and perhaps most significantly in these circumstances, a strike-rate of 39.64 that speaks of an ability to keep that very strike rotating”

This is where we are at. An average of 29 at a strike rate of 40 represents the golden era of England number 3s in the last few years. Sheesh.

I like Denly, and it sounds like he was totally misused as a batsman for England there to eat up balls, but did he miss large swathes of Denly struggling to rotate the strike against spin?

I was trying to remember why Malan was dropped in the first place but then I see he was averaging 27 in Tests. I recalled him being (relatively) successful, like averaging 35 or something

#4922

I know someone who averages a fraction under 72 against India…

Is this the real quiz? Eoin Morgan?

#4924

I see no reason not to pick him again at this point, tbh. His recent form would have him as a nailed on member of the top 3

#4925

apparently he managed merely 32.33 against them

#4926

quacking a lot, eh?

Oh, it’s Sir Alastair isn’t it. Leave him be and let him enjoy the twilight of his career at Essex

#4928

Nope. No point in bringing him back, imo

#4929

Surely not Keaton?

#4930

Absolutely not.
