    Roy’s spot at the top should not be in doubt

    And my point is that the reason we don't is we keep picking OD players to try and bat, fail, and then discard. And we have done it again with respect to Roy being preferred due to not opening the batting for his county, and having a mediocre record from when he batted further down the order. A...

    1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

    But Butler is no better as a keeper than YJB, and an equally middling bat (YJB averages 1 higher in test matches, and 12 higher in first class cricket). Foakes is a much, much, much better keeper than either of the other 2, and is a better bat than Buttler to boot in first class cricket.

    Roy’s spot at the top should not be in doubt

    How do we know there isn't? Sibley at Warks is playing some beautiful cricket this year, and averaging 63 almost this year, albeit it being his first year doing so. My issue is that they have, again, picked an ODI player who plays aggresively against restricted fields in OD cricket, against...

    Apart from in Bangladesh, where in 2 matches he only averaged a smidge under 30.

    I never had that much an issue with the Pro40 - but that was because historically, the OD game in England was never a 50 over competition, it varied. The main cup competition in 1964 started as a 60 over a side competition, and stayed that until 1998 when it became a 50 over competition for a...

    T20s have been popular for ages in England - it's just the ECB pretended they weren't in order to try and sell the stupid 100 competition as a re-vamp to try and make more money.

    Cricketweb decides- England's all time ODI XI

    Agreed, Stokes for me is, at best, an adequate 6th bowling option (he has a terrible economy + and an ok SR) - I certainly would not trust him with a full quota of 10 overs - and given the top 4, I think there are only 3 slots for KP (or another specialist bat), Stokes, Buttler and Flintoff, and...

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    I don't want to see Archer near the Test team at least initially - I have zero confidence in him being able to bowl more than 4 overs in a spell/8-10 in a day, with his current injury, and that would put far too much on the rest of the line up, especially if Stokes is our 5th bowler and we only...

    But equally, Sibley was dropped on 3 in the first innings, in the slips, and an absolute dolly it was too. so if that was taken, he'd have made 3 and 30. It does make a joke of the Lions set up though that the selectors seem to be quite unwilling to pay attention to the match, and instead go...

    So, if Denly is not good enough for Test cricket (which I might agree with), what about the rest of the team? At least Denly scored some runs, and at a decent SR. The rest of the bats look considerably worse.

    Thats a weirdly timed draw agreement, 1 ball after the wicket, making Robinson walk all the way out. Lol. It's a pity too - as the commentators mentioned, Denly was looking well set and purring along, so thought could have gone for 2-3 more overs just to see what happened, and would have been...

    9 players on the rope apparently, yet we are still trying too hard for the big hits for boundaries, rather than sharp 2s.

    good start, apart from the useless Dickson again - he got 4 off 10 balls, the other two have 18 off 14. Abbot has started very well.

    So, Kent have finally taken the last Warks wicket - target of 153 off 17 overs at 9. Never say never, but I think this one will be a draw. What cost us is the total waste of the 7 overs after the 7th wicket of Stevens went down, before Kuhn went concussed - in those 7 overs we scored 10 runs...
