Was anyone else listening to tms yday. Zaltzman had a question, before root, Brook and smith right now, when was the last time England had 3 players in an xi who all averaged 50+.
Did anyone hear the answer or happen to know?
My random guess was trott, root ballance but I'm sure that is wrong.

Plenty of times they've had 3+ bowlers averaging over 50, unlikely batsmen though

When Root hit 50+, Trott had dipped below

Maybe its some combination of Root/Ballance and a debutant who hit 50 early on. Could even be someone like Bresnan.

Randomly channel surfing and stumbled upon some masters game with Pakistan playing England. Watched the first delivery and Shoaib Malik spins one past Phil Mustard. Gone for all money and Kamran Akmal literally misses the ball and doesn’t know where it is. Really took me back!

I know there have been plenty of father/son duos playing cricket. Also relatives.

But there's an entire XI of young players in county cricket. That are sons/relatives of people I've watched play before. Seems an unusually large amount all coming through at roughly the same time.

Jaydn Denly (Nephew of Joe)
Joshua De Caires (Son of Athers)
Archie Vaughan (Son of ****)
James Sales (Son of David)
Rocky Flintoff (Son of Freddie)
Isaac Mohammed (Nephew of Moeen)
Haydon Mustard (Son of Phil)
Luc Benkenstein (Son of Dale)
Mitch Killeen (Son of Neil)
Corey Flintoff (Son of Freddie)
Charlie Harmison (Son of Steve)

Step son or something?

Was given his mums maiden name at birth for reasons unknown.

"I took my mum's name at birth," he says. "I have no clue and I have never asked my parents why.

"I have always been happy with it and I have never really been bothered enough to ask."

Presumably to keep a lower profile and deflect from who is father is.

LA28 qualification mostly a mix of rankings and a qualifying tournament.

As per the model, top-ranked teams from four regions – Asia, Oceania, Europe and Africa – will earn direct qualification, alongside hosts USA, who will represent the Americas.

The remaining team will then be determined through a qualifying tournament, while the allocation from the ICC T20I Rankings at a certain cut-off date has also emerged as the likely scenario.

Whereas, the West Indies, comprised of several Caribbean countries, may hold their own regional qualifying tournament to determine which country would represent them in the Olympic qualifiers.

I like to muse to myself about why no franchise spors team would go the whole hog and call themselves 'The Champions'. Now I find thate there is a whole league of them

In that case four teams have already qualified.
USA
England (Great Britain)
South Africa
India

No one from Europe can overtake England in rankings. No one from Africa can overtake South Africa. Almost no one from Asia can overtake India (more than 40 points ahead of the next best in Asia).

5th spot is between-
Australia and New Zealand

6th spot will be fought between the likes of:

-Regional champion of West Indies
-Pakistan
-Sri Lanka
-New Zealand or Australia
-Bangladesh
-Afghanistan

It could turn out to be one heck of a qualifying tournament.

can you post the research again here maybe?

Cricket in 2028 Olympics

Afraid not, if ICC Rankings are used then Great Britisn does not rank in the top 6 according to ICC so they don't make it The insecurity runs deep
