    *** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

    Oh my god, you're actually Shane Warne aren't you? Clueless comments about declaring early, check. Ridiculous agenda against great servants of your nation's game, check. Ridiculously pressing the claims of the minorities that you like, check. When's the next round of plastic surgery then Shane?

    No come on Adders, he's clearly right. Root should've declared at 92-1 as they were more than 260 ahead at that point and it would've avoided Jennings being dismissed, clearly a meaningless out that one...

    Give it a ****ing rest.

    What are the rules regarding Philander bowling? He went off straight after his spell and hasn't been seen since. Does he have to back on the field the same length of time he was off it before he can bowl again?

    ***Official*** India's Tour of Sri Lanka 2017

    I'd have thought someone who doesn't watch cricket would be more concerned about finding a few more basic points then this out first.

    A Durham fan having a hang up about a Durham player? **** me, never seen that before.

    A bit of short stuff then I suspect? Him being able to bat is all the more reason to bat again as if he's getting better we don't want to risk chasing and giving him more time to recuperate before bowling.

    Talking revisionist bollocks again I see. There is no way there was any certain victory in Rajkot, it was only an India top order collapse that made that game anything but a boring draw.

    Philander ending up in hospital does kind of question why he was selected in the first place, as he clearly was nowhere near 100% fit. For what it's worth I'd bat again here if I was Root. Put more overs in the SA attack's legs and aim for a 500 run lead or close to that.

    If that's all he could do in county cricket it's a good job he didn't get called up.

    Yes, I've heard the 5th kebab is the bad one...

    Just need a Jennings and a Dawson injury now to completely save face...

    The Cricket Web Podcast #31 - Politically Charged Words

    Was that the incident around gambling when he bet he could forecast all the scores of the 22 players in the opposing team on a tour match?

    I'd rather a proper batsman who really adds depth to the line up then taking the attitude that number 8 must be able to bowl when there's already 5 bowlers in the team.

    *** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

    Which is well and good but because they're all multi-faceted players we then end up with either 6 bowlers or a specialist bat very low in the order. I guess the best option may be to pick a specialist glovesman who can bat 8 or lower?

    Having 3 number 7s batting 6, 7 & 8 isn't a major problem. Batting 5, 6 & 7 is IMO.

    The only way Stoneman is coming in is in place of Jennings so it will probably happen sooner rather than later as Hameed needs to regain his form. I doubt it'll make much difference though, all much of a muchness.

    From that squad I'd be picking: Cook Jennings (on notice to perform as not really looked up to it) Westley Root Malan Stokes Bairstow Ali Roland-Jones Broad Anderson
