    Matt Henry or Chris Woakes?

    Woakes right now, but since he's probably only in the frame for maybe a summer compared to Henry possibly having a few years, Henry has every chance to go past him if he continues gunning it with the ball. His away stats are, fittingly, a bit Woakes-ish mind. I know they're basically from...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Even in Asia, I'm pretty sure Jennings has struggled against pace (might do less so at 3 I guess), so even with his apparent credentials in these conditions, Bumrah/Siraj getting him cheaply throughout the whole series would have been entirely likely imo

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Yup, whilst I'm still not convinced individually by either of them, collectively they're way ahead of what we've become sadly used to On other notes, Pope is fine if he does well enough at home. Decent/good at home and poor away might get you marked down on this forum, but realistically, we...

    Would Sachin still have debuted in tests at 16 in today's era?

    Sachin born in 1973 vs Sachin born in 2008 ;)

    Have a t-shirt saying "100" ready anyway, then if he gets a pair just underline the two 0s

    *Official*Ireland tour to Afghanistan Feb-Mar 2024

    Brilliant from Ireland! And Balbirnie too - he's been pretty underwhelming in tests, but this was not only a good innings but the most important individual innings for Ireland in tests so far

    Leach, Ahmed, Hartley - terrible England spin "attacks" in the SC

    Did he used to get more helpful pitches in county cricket too? His role in Tests certainly wasn't conducive to taking stacks of wickets, but given quite reasonably had a reputation for not actually turning the ball much I'm always surprised at how good his county record is. That said, I think...

    From memory he struggled with the shot when when we toured Pakistan last year too, maybe just a slight drop-off in hand-eye/fitness or something as he's got a bit older. Don't know if it makes any sense that it would affect his confidence playing a specific shot through

    He was playing very recklessly at the start of McCullum's tenure tbf

    IR Bell pretty little fifties thread

    I don't care too much about it as a metric anyway, but it's pretty awesome that he's got his 100s/50s ratio below 1:2 - not that it's a particularly great ratio still, but I'm pretty sure he was like 13:50 or something at one point

    End of the over presumably? Edit: Maybe not - are they letting Jaiswal go for the... most sixes record? Only 1 more needed

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Whilst I don't know if it would actually affect the selector's thinking anyway, Buttler has been poor in Limited Overs for a while now IIRC so even if he gets another go under a regime that should theoretically suit him more, it might just not lead to anything good anyway. I know Bazball =/=...

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    Reminds me of that 2016 Aus/SL series where, in the 3rd test, the first runs of an innings were Warner hitting a 6 - immediately making it the highest opening stand of the series to that point

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Yeah, I absolutely get the logic re naming a team internally early for the clarity it provides for the team (how much difference does it make? I don't know, but as I say, I cant get why they do it), but announcing it has the potential for a tangible disadvantage and surely it wouldn't mess up...
