Yeah that’s fair enough
But it’s not leach fault he’s older, that’s 1 more reason to pick him in my opinion
More experience
Had noticed but likely to have 1 more innings to win the series, India have played him very well so far too.
Impressed with ashwin and jadeja this series with bat and ball
Cant see how anyone outside of Root will be able to keel ashwin and jadeja at bay in India (stokes having to deal with the rough and ashwin, buttler batting after keeping in the heat for so long)
If Engoand do win this game, really think it would be worth Virdi getting a go next test, even as a 3 man spin attack
Yeah agree on that. I’ve a suspicion that Lawrence and pope will both play at same time at some point in that series
Buttler is in at 7 too in that series, can’t expect him to get big runs from there, just hope the odd 50 and counter attack
Aye you’re right about stokes will be tough for him
I’ll be amazed if we don’t get well beaten over there
More promise for the ashes though, Australia been fairly average, it’s Cummins n hazlewood who been their best
Starc n Lyon been poor
