If England bat first, surely you keep Pope at 3?
He’ll be lucky if he lasts more than 10 balls anyway based on his recent form so won’t to be too tired to keep

Cheers but I don’t know of anyone sadlyIf you know anyone with TNT Sports they will likely have access to watch via Discovery+. You can share your login as lent mine to my pal and FIL.
You can watch on two devices at any one time. Can watch the game as live which is ideal when playing either of the antipodean sides, can sleep and watch the next day!
Only wish SKY could provide the same feature!
I thought he looked a much more accomplished player than Cox in particular and a couple of times appeared to play the situation too, he wasn't just blazing away all the time. On that limited viewing I can see why they see something in him but they're really throwing him in at the deep end.Bethell impressed me in the white ball stuff, so lets hope he does well
The best part of it is that in FCC he strikes at 48. So not destructive at all (yet)
Even better, he’s only played 3 first class innings above number 6. 2 at 5, 1 at 4
Mental stuff
This. Had to worth a go to see if we get more out of him, clearly a dodgy 3 but looks talented at times.Moving pope down is sensible mind
f***ing hell what a moron if that's the case.Robinson doesn’t have a valid passport right now
Regardless of how stupid England have been, that’s surely baffling ineptitude for someone who could have got a call up?
Ali Martin in the Guardianf***ing hell what a moron if that's the case.
He was in India in march how's he let that lapse
Unbelievable. What a divvy.Ali Martin in the Guardian
As well as three spinners, bizarrely, there was no cover for a top three that contained a player battling for consistency in Ollie Pope. Given he was also the back-up wicketkeeper, something since activated until Durham’s Ollie Robinson can get a new passport processed and fly over, it looks a fair old oversight.
I’m slightly amazed he’s not playing white ball cricket somewhere over the winter to be honestUnbelievable. What a divvy.
Like I know he'd not have been sat hoping Smith/Cox would both be unavailable but surely you would have your passport ready and avoid booking anything important for the Pakistan/NZ series on the off chance.

Lets hope he does as well in his career as a former England captain!You must be logged on to see media items
Probably didn't think it was worth bothering his arse after Smith and Cox leapfrogged him in the pecking order.Robinson doesn’t have a valid passport right now
