Rehan Ahmed

I’ve watched him a bit this year, on YouTube and I WFH, I’m also sad as fuck. He was really all over the place at times, and barely took a wicket

He was ckass in Pakistan but he was very much 2nd spinner on a flat pitch defending a huge target. I just don’t see this. I’ll get behind him if picked as he’s a hell of a talent, but way off yet for me.

Can't criticise according to @Twisted

Prefer him to Jacks or Livingstone. They seem confident Ali will be fine anyway so doubt he’ll play

Think he would get eaten alive, especially with 4 of the top 7 being left handers

I read somewhere that they reckon his googly is more effective than his leg break. Might be better against left handers?

Yeah that’s true, fair point.

Well say he was all over the place and barely takes wickets

Pros:
He has huge talent
He seems to ooze confidence
He can bat, he argues it’s his strongest suit
There are few other choices, certainly non inspiring

Cons:
Simon Kerrigan

Thought jacks or Dawson would be better choices for the ashes
As I say though all much of a muchness and no outstanding candidate

There are more cons than that like chunky

They are covered in one Kerrigan shaped con

I would have fancied jacks. Steady. 4 left handers and he is a proper proper talent with the bant, like a young Mo

I guess they feel it’s covered with root tho

Anyway, I’m pleased he won’t be playing against Durham Sunday.

I really can’t see him playing for England mind, but it’s canny experience for him

Ha fair enough

I should make it clear I don't mind Ahmed I just think it's hard to justify his place

Yes. Because you typed “proper talent with the bant”

So I posted the bant. With hilarious consequences

You’re one step ahead of me chunk

This season
6 wickets at 67
430 runs at 38

If he plays and the job is to get out 8-11 then not a massive issue
