    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    I'm excited for this 3rd Test match to start! :) It's odd India hasn't recalled Pujara who's been doing well recently. He averages 63 since December, including his 243 not out in January. I think he would have been a better choice than Patidar. Especially with Kohli, Iyer & Rahul not there, he...

    *Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

    Hi! Do you know if Brook will be available for the 3rd Test ? If he is, do you think he'll find his way in the XI ? I'm thinking Bairstow would be the one to make way for him... If he does, that would look like the beginning of the end of his career for England unfortunately... His recent form...

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    With Will Jacks & Livingstone in the XI, is Moeen Ali still needed for England ? Wouldn't Duckett be a better pick, to make England's batting even stronger ? 1. Salt 2. Buttler 3. Jacks 4. Duckett 5. Livingstone 6. Brook 7. Curran 8. Woakes 9. Rehan 10. Rashid 11. Topley That would offer 3...

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    I finally accepted the fact Crawley was part of the Test team. I took me some time... I'm trying to understand what he is doing in this new England ODI era... You have to wait 20 innings before he gets a score. And I feel luck is in the air when he does.... It seems he's wasting the #3 slot. I...

    *Official* Match#5 - India vs Australia

    Best 2023 WC XI, after match #5 :) 1. D Conway, 2. Q de Kock, 3. V Kohli, 4. R van der Dussen, 5. A Markram, 6. KL Rahul, 7. R Ravindra, 8. Jadeja, 9. M Starc, 10. M Henry/H Rauf, 11. Bumrah :) I admit Ravindra & Markram having to share 10 overs is not ideal, but the batters can chase down...

    England thread

    I feel Sam Curran shouldn't be part of the main XI for England. Woakes, Willey, Topley & Wood should be the main seamers. Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Livingstone, Woakes, Willey, Rashid, Wood/Topley

    England thread

    I think the ideal XI would be : Roy, Bairstow, Malan, Root, Stokes, Buttler, Livingstone, Woakes, Rashid, Atkinson/Curran, Topley

    Man Of The Tournament?

    Jason Roy

    England thread

    England have 4 ODIs against NZ, 3 against Ireland, 1 against India & 1 against Bangladesh before the World Cup. That's plenty of time to try if the Roy & Bairstow duo is still effective :) If not, Malan is there!
