Latham on the talkSPORT podcast the other day was saying interest has gone up massively after they won in India

 

[Aidan11]

Good start.

 

[Hyltons finest]

1 away

I struggle to see the point of the Bashir pick if we were always going to choose to bowl first anyway.

It’s a strange pick given they’re a team that goes horses for courses at times

3 spinners on this tour is baffling, even if there is a good argument for all 3

It’s a tiny ground mind.

Put them against Sri Lanka in Eden Park or whatever and it’d be a different narrative.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Warra catch lad

 

[mackembhoy]

Same mindset in how Campbell picks a spinner every game for Durham. A point of difference for taking 20 wickets.

You can't carry a spinner who can't bat at international level though.

Used to be able to find plenty a free streaming sites for the cricket where have they all gone?? Any recommendations?

This is the place you have a spinning all rounder. It’s why they’ve gone Phillips over Patel (and even Santner who can bat)

It’s where Rehan needs to make himself a 7.5. And where Liam Dawson would be useful

Good shout on Rehan and Dawson has been so unlucky but I feel they won’t go to him now

Buzzing for him. But what a stupid bloke for costing himself a cap today!

Dawson won’t play now, no

I doubt he’d have played anyway, would have been tight timewise

Yep you made the point better than I was trying to make.

I'm half cut after the Celtic game though
