He hadn't bowled in first class game since 2019, you cant judge him like, virtually impossible for him

He bowled exactly like he did last time he played for England, the time off is neither here nor there.

Tbh he is actually exceeding my expectations. I thought it was a poor selection. I fancy him to get runs with the bat though.

Sorry like thats not fair, the time has a massive imapct, he hasn't bowled in a first class game for a year and a half

Thats what smoker is saying, 3/172 against the aussies going at 4 an over but bowling wicket taking deliveries. Repeat performance this morning and it was why he got dropped, hope he turns if around 2nd innings (hope we bat well enough to get that far)
 
I think you're being kind to him mind.

From elsewhere...

There once was a captain called Kohli,
Who to the Indian supporters is holy.
But it was comedy gold,
When he got clean bowled,
And walked off ever so slowly.
When Kohli went out to bat,
He acted a bit of a tw@t
He couldn't be told
That he had been clean bowled
It was mentioned, in fact by @The Rat

fuck you standing there for mate?

He bowled you

get off the f***ing park

It’s not repeat, Ali was a good bowler for for us, he’s a fantastic record against India

Can’t believe people judging him after 1 days play in 1 n half years

No need

It’s unlikely he will get miles better 2nd innings like he needs games, he’s a spinner

You don’t rock up after a year out of the game and land it on a penny

Agreed, dont think @The Rat sees it the same :lol: :lol:

But he left test cricket as he was knackered he had a good record before his dip. The previous 12 months he took the most wickets in the world in test cricket
I
Is that exactly how he bowled when he bowled in India out at Southampton?

No

Sorry but judging someone after 1 days cricket after a year n half out is a bit of a disgrace really like

Mate, you're on a forum, people give opinions, calling it a disgrace is a bit much....if you want to defend that bowling go ahead, but Ali got dropped on the back of a bowling performance not too dissimilar to what he produced today, thats a fact. Your acting like Ali hasnt picked up a ball in 1.5 years when hes been playing cricket throughout and bowling in the nets at the very least when not playing.

He’s played 1 first class game in 1 n half years, deary me man

Sorry that’s embarrassing, needs saying

I would have played Bess by the way but I’m not fickle enough to make an unfair judgement like that

Start Vokins on Wednesday and if he plays well then start him on Saturday.

Crazy to write players off after two games.
'His performances were as bad I can remember

Looked like a child

Will cost us points

Loans need to make an instant impact like, it’s not about easing them into men’s football'


Mate, thats you slagging off a player in only his 2nd match in a new team in a new league in a new formation just 30 minutes ago.
You're an absolute embarressment to this board, contradicting your own 'values'.
He shouldn’t have been picked, it’s that simple for me.
Had to protect bess somehow, personally think we should have looked at blooding virdi but would have been a risk either way

Everyone could see this coming with Ali, he’s a spent force at international level.

Parralells with taking Trott on that Windies tour...was just going to be harsh taking the bloke to Sri Lanka then India + getting covid withoutgiving him a chance to show if he had anything left (he may still prove the doubters wrong) but it wasnt encouraging today
