I'm still confused over forecast as no other source has it anywhere near as bad as the Met/BBC.
I've seen as high as 17 degrees forecast for Thursday

WTC points are on the line so we need to play our best team. He’s definitely in it in these conditions imo.

Rest him for what though he's 41. Our best bowler in altitude like they will be playing in is a no brainer.
England don't play again till July and can't see him playing much CC now. Surely he's wanting to maximise how long he can keep playing for England.

Sounds like it could be warmer at the Riverside for the university game in a few weeks.

Good that shit is getting called out.
Viv Richards was playing that way in the f***ing 70s/80s man.
Let alone Sehwag doing it throughout 00s into the 10s

Yeah I’d like to see Atkinson get a chance in a Test.

Not forgetting the likes of Adam Gilchrist and Chris Gayle.

Loved watching Gilchrist play.
And what about the Burnopfield basher Colin Milburn?

Indeed just was thinking more in the top 3 where it's more classical to see off the new ball.
Gordon Greenridge scored double ton against us in 1984 off 234 balls. It took 18 years before someone did it faster

They ain't reinventing the wheel, just do the talking on the pitch.

There has certainly been individuals who have scored as fast if not faster than this England team, as we have alluded too
However as a collective team effort not sure I remember a test team as a whole consistently scoring as fast as this current England test team.
The first test victory in Pakistan that first day performance and getting a win on that wicket was a historic performance imo.

Bradman was no slouch scoring runs either.
