Not Parkinson? Leach out Parky in?
I start early pal, it'll be tomorrow. Bairstow out iirc.. (I'm only joking @The Rat )
In all seriousness, I can imagine Leach won't be involved so 1 change. #BrookIn
He'll be opening in Pakistan given the recent comments.
Wait till 50 for 3 on FridayI love the cricket forum it's much more chilled out amd relaxed than PF

I watched 3 days of Parky. I'd rather Phil Parky.
In all seriousness, he's not good enough. I'm nearly 70 and I'd fancy a go at him, too slow.
Spot on. He will be canny in the short stuff but he is to slow at the very top levelI watched 3 days of Parky. I'd rather Phil Parky.

maybe that will come with a bit more experience, it would not surprise me, if they brought another seamer in and let root bowl the spin overs

Fair enough. I do feel you need a spinner most games though just for a bit of variety but there isn't a lot of choice.I watched 3 days of Parky. I'd rather Phil Parky.

Not sure if I’m remembering right but did Crawley bowl some leg spin in the windies ?

Thankfully I had tickets for the first 3 days at Lords' so I missed the excitement of this thread.
I wonder if YJB has rediscovered the art of proper cricket in the intrevening period. This is dangerous groundThankfully I had tickets for the first 3 days at Lords' so I missed the excitement of this thread.
They must be tucked up in bed.ps

7 days was what was assumed mate

I don't recall it but you may be right

I agree. We need a spinner in the side. Parkinson isn't the one though.
I think he took a wicket somewhere. Would help if someone up the top could bowl 5 overs for 20 or so, somewhere across the day.
i think root could bowl more but he has enough scoring the runs

Lawrence took one in Antigua at the end of a very long day in the field. Down the leg side, snicko showed that, according to the SMB match thread "someone in the ground had farted" as the ball passed the bat and the not out was overturned

Brilliant couple of days mate. I did post earlier, the NZ tour away in 08 was the best I've seen. Jesse Ryder provided hreat entertainment.
That’s the one I must have been thinking off. My memory is terrible at times

Indeed it was. Good reccollection, sir.
aye Pope not the answer at 3, had so so many chances in the team!
TBH I like Bairstow at 6 or 7, never really said he is a top order player!
Just think he gets unfair criticism, so always stick up for him
averaged 35 since 2015, which is not bad compared to the rest!
Deserves a long run in the side for me.
What is this board's reaction if the team for the South Africa series is
Crawley
Buttler
Livingstone
Root
Brook
Stokes (C)
Bairstow (WK)
Ali
Potts
Broad
Anderson
Its ridiculous, but part of me also wants to see it happen
