The value of Modern Ali

[Liverpool Beachball]

Key player now, we are ridiculously lucky to have two all rounders of the quality of him and Stokes in the side, it gives us a lot of options in selecting the other players

He's excellent in England for me

Struggled badly in asia

Be interesting to see what we do in Australia. 2 spinners, extra batsman, extra seamer?

He's a 2nd spinner mind. But I love the bloke.

Having a captain that knew how to get the best out of spinners would have helped.

DaveAngel=Johnson. I thought the forum seen the back of this twat...

Every series in the UAE or subcontinent: put men out on the boundary, under bowl the spinners then complain we don't have world class spinners when we lose. An 18 year old kid took more wickets than our spinners in Bangladesh - better than Moeen?

We are well off without Cook's defensive captaincy.

Could also call him Modest Ali. Sound lad.

Are you seriously pretending you aren't

It's bizarre that Dawson is bowling because the management want Modern to feel like the 2nd spinner, to take the pressure off him.

He was excellent at Lord's. OK it's harder at Trent Bridge, but surely he's proven his ability enough not to be bothered with meh figures there?
