**Official** Sri Lanka in England and Ireland 2016

[Compton]

I'm assuming Vince still gets the Pakistan series.

 

[91Jmay]

Vince that is ****ing awful. Have absolutely no faith in him. We have let them back in it as well.

 

[fredfertang]

This reminds me of my batting career

 

[MW1304]

Yikes this middle order has been ****e all series bar one innings.

 

[grecian]

Oh well this is spiffing, and no other decent sport to watch for hours.

Gets first test, can't see why they can offer him the series, looks very ordinary. He is lucky that they will be dropping Compton and may not want another change.

Watching Wales get spanked will be fun.

 

[grecian]

This is clearly all down to Compton wishing badly on Compton

 

[StephenZA]

.. at least this is making the game mildly more interesting. Maybe a another 2 wickets for some excitement.

Vince is also lucky that nobody has a clue who should replace him.
The only thing that might finish him is Bell stringing together a few good knocks.

You are right there. There aren't many players scoring runs this season. Westley probably comes into the reckoning and I am not sure he is any better.

I probably shouldn't be posting from the crease, to be honest.

 

[Pothas]

Vince.

Naaah it's simple, you either give him the first test then go 5 seem up when stokes is back, or you go Robson 3 Borthwick 5.

Assuming Compton gets dropped I think Vince gets the whole series, as they won't want to change 2 of the top 5. If he gets dropped during the series they'll bring back Bell. I assuming Borthwick will play the next test.

 

[harsh.ag]

Seriously just pick Stokes and Woakes both. Although I do want to see Borthwick now, given all the "hype".

Nah, that's pretty negative, I could name about many if you add in 'keepers. It's the opening position we have no-one for really.

Hildreth, Clarke, Robson, Westley, Bell-Drummond, Duckett, Buttler, Borthwick (even though he should be taking Compos place). In the end England rightfully have given people chances when picked, they should do the same with Vince, even though I wasn't that sold on him being chosen ITFP.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Bring back Gary Ballance.

 

[wpdavid]

Bring back Gary Ballance.

It's an option, especially if he'd be in his natural position at 5. No idea how he's gone in the CC this year though.

He hasn't.
