England v India - Third Test, 10/07


Does Bethel come in for Bashir if he's injured?
I wouldn't want that.

As you then end up with a guy who was batting 3 then batting 8 and he's not good enough as a spinner.

The logic would be Dawson to try and have a better chance of winning the series.

But then we also need to have a look at someone else for the foreseeable instead of Bashir. Whether that is Farhan, Carson or someone else entirely.

Bat pope at 8 and bethell three

128 for 6 lancs now
 
Crap performance, let’s be honest. 4 changes needed:

Anyone but Crawley (Maybe Haines)
Duckett
Bethell
Root
Brook
Smith (wk)
Stokes (c)
Dawson
Atkinson
Archer
Potts/Cook

Bin Crawley. Pick our best spinner, with extra batting a bonus. Reckon Pope would be decent at 6/7, but Smith is better.
