As long as they don't interfere with him, oh you have to bowl faster, oh you have to do this or that. Played 37 T20s 61 wickets at 15.24 econ 7.06

Parkinson's average speed so far has been just 74.62kph. No spinner in our database has bowled at a slower average speed than that in their career. #NZvEng
I want to believe that Parkinson can deceive players at the international level through drift and spin, but I have my doubts at the speed he bowls. He certainly would be an outlier. I would think Rashid is fairly safe in his position assuming his shoulder is fine.

Different game at international level where basically everyone has the power and/or skill. Brown already finding it tough with players just setting themselves for his slower balls (mainly on the back foot) and then depositing them over the leg side.

Mahmood wasn't used that much at Lancashire at critical points in their t20 last year so I don't think it's much of a surprise he hasn't been great here.

Be good if Brown, Mahmood, Gregory, Banton and in particular Parkinson can get some gigs in domestic t20s this winter so they can get some more experience and to judge them on some higher level cricket. Brown and Banton already signed up.

Think I'd like to see them use Bairstow in the middle order for this next game. Allow Banton some more game time. Malan and Vince have been pretty decent. Would strengthen the middle order where the problems have been. Also I think it might be where he ends up in the side at full strength.

OH and Bairstow's been called up to the test squad as cover for Denly which I'm not sure i agree with. https://www.ecb.co.uk/england/men/news/1487239/bairstow-added-to-test-squad-as-back-up

If they wanted to rest or drop him (as they did originally) then really I feel like they should follow through and give him the break.

Obviously if you are the new coach and didn't have any input on the original squad I can see why you might want Bairstow there if you think he's going to be one of your important players going forward - so that might be the reason for the inconsistency.

Banton does look a good young player, shows how highly he is thought of that the Heat have signed him for the BBL games that ABDV isn't available for.

Just needs to put away the reverse sweep once and for all though

Bairstow added to Test squad. Dropped for 0 matches haha
What was Crawley brought along for? There was also talk that Vince might get back in after Denly's injury.It doesn't matter how many runs they get in white ball cricket, Test cricket is different.

Bairstow
2019 Tests 20.25
ODIs 46.88

Commentary seems awkward. Doull has had to correct Hussain twice and I’m not really sure there is any point in Frankie Mackay being there, neither Doull or Hussain seems to address her, so she just seems to chip in when there is a bit of silence.
