Odd there not playing county cricket but then if injury strikes they don't have to go through the 2 negative tests protocols


Leach is better. He'd still be in the side if not for the illness in South Africa

Don’t agree on Leach mind. Think he’s totally non threatening at test level. Bess has at least got time on his side being so young, so can only get better really

A “doable but far from certain” run chase is the best thing in cricket

Indeed. Probably the perfect total to chase for the neutral.

He averages under 30 in England and Sri Lanka only done poorly in New Zealand like most spinners ever.

Despite his critics, Sibley holding up one end is a player England need. Let's hope he makes a nice slow ton. If he does, England will be close.

Yup. We've been crying out for a Sibley type player. The more he plays test cricket and works at his game, he'll learn to expand a bit and become better at rotating the strike etc. But right now he's just what we need

I keep hearing this yet apart from the odd bit of banter, everyone I know likes how he is going about his work.
Maybe it's the new "I personally think Denis Irwin is so underrated in this United team".
Appealing like that, then not even considering the review.
