Three unnamed England players in a test in India, allegedly and totally deniedWhat's this about spot fixing?
Absolutely bang on. Good read.
For a fiver I hope it came with a shovel full of chips?One thing about Lords, their sausage rolls might be £5, but they are absolutely brilliant
I don't think they'll change anything apart from maybe Woakes for Wood if they don't think he's fit enough.Will there be any changes for the next test?
I don't think there will be but there should be.
Nope, but there was a ton of meat! Tasted lush anarl, way bigger and better quality than the shite you get at West Cornwall Pasty Co for £3!!!For a fiver I hope it came with a shovel full of chips?
It's just not going for wood in tests for a while.I don't think they'll change anything apart from maybe Woakes for Wood if they don't think he's fit enough.
The way the FTECB are destroying four day cricket, then it's no wonder our batsmen are aggressive. It's getting to be the only way they know how to play!It's just not going for wood in tests for a while.
I agree with woakes coming in, as it will lengthen the batting order in their eyes as well.
I just hope in the next few days, it's is drilled into stokes, Barstow, root, that the test lasts five days and cannot be won by scoring at a run a ball fifty odd, then getting out.
We need to get back to batting a minimum of a 100 overs in our first innings.
Also, what are they doing in practice as the catching has gone downhill rapidly.
Also the angling positions of the slips just looks wrong.
One last thing, to save about 70 runs per innings, place a third man and take out mid off or on. We want drives in that area as it brings in the edge, lbw and bowled.
If the batsmen drill a four off an excellent shot, so be it, but all these thick edges, dribbling away for four is poor imo.

I can't see him leaving. He has indicated he is off after summer 2019 and it's just not England's style to sack bayliss, though in the 80s and 90s captain and manager would have been gone after the ashes debacleI presume if any decision is taken about Bayliss it will still be the England boss who will need to take it, I mean Strauss, even though he's on leave because of his wife's illness.
Fair point. After all if they do sack him how long will it take to recruit someone else ….. several months at least by which time the summer will be finished.I can't see him leaving.

Who next will be interesting to see? There are a few as mentors/managers in the IPL who could be of interest eg Tom moody
I can also see colly being involved somewhere down the line, with maybe Ashley Giles again.
Who knows but they have now only beaten the worst windies team in 20 years, in the last ten tests.
The players are not performing even to their basic averages at the moment.
Imo performing to their averages will win the test at headingley. I hope we do
He seems to have been recruited for his one day expertise, which to be fair has resulted in a great team being formed.Fair point. After all if they do sack him how long will it take to recruit someone else ….. several months at least by which time the summer will be finished.
I haven't watched any of the (predictable) way this all panned out, except to say that we are miles away from a proper Test team and we seem determined not to learn the lessons.
We need to be very careful here. In England it's still Test cricket that funds the game and not white ball stuff, and if the Test team collapses the crowds will follow and we will be in trouble.
I think Jennings will be on the radar, he's got 2 centuries in CC and has carried the form into the one dayers. If you aren't going to pick him now, then when?
Ordinarily Jennings shouldn't be near selection. A walking wicket inbhis last 4 tests, a shiocking domestic season, an embarrassing Lions tour against rubbish opposition. Hes turning a corner now and that's great but really he should do more to prove he is ready. That said Stoneman needs to go and aside from maybe Burns there is absolutely no one else.
