Well it holds 60,000. So if they’d sold 80,000 tickets across day 3 and 4, it’s £75 a ticket
Plus the amount they lost on drinks etc. and hospitality

Atherton reckons they might go for a spinner for this

(Only) played seven, won two. But three of those defeats against Australia, who are superb with it. Six of those seven away from England too.
Pink ball isn't really the issue. It's the conditions under which it is used more so. And we've played with it a lot less than the Aussies.

Why have they took Bashir?
No idea. He's an average bowler and fielder and can't bat.

Duckett, Root, Brook, Stokes, Archer and Atkinson are high class international cricketers. There have been worse sides in the last five years.
I think at one stage Burns, Sibley and Bess were in the same side
Khawaja ruled out

I’m just relieved they haven’t brought Bashir in, because he’s not international standard. I’d still have dropped Crawley but we all know that isn’t going to happen.
As for Khawaja, it’ll be interesting to see what they do. Head clearly batted magnificently in their second innings in Perth, but from an England perspective, I’d rather he opened than came in at 5.

That's the end of Bashirs international career then. We've carried him for the last 12 months with the Ashes in mind only to pick a hitter who bowls part time spin over him.
Not saying its not what I would have done but shows a massive missed opportunity to develop a spinner the past year.
Makes their team stronger, Head at the top, then an in form inglis or Webster who's performed with bat and ball for them lately to come in.
And Cummins not being ruled out of being selected
Cummins might play apparently
He's looked awful all tour, apparently him and Jacks had effectively a bowl off to Stokes last night which reportedly Jacks clearly outbowled him.
If Jacks does get a big score mind, that's the option to replace Crawley without shuffling the rest if Crawley fails again.

McCullum and his continued crazy selections so they waste all that time with the sub standard Bashir.
To pick Jacks what to bat 8 and bowl part time spin did he even play a single red ball game last season.
Picking Overton in the 5th test v India cost us a series constantly picking a dreadful opener in Crawley sorry his time is done.

49 wickets at 42 and 5 first class wickets in 3 games last summer a proper McCullum special.

Head opening might play into England’s hands.
