    All-Time World XIs: Discussion Thread

    We've not voted in a Pollock for a while. Probably about time for another Pollock.

    1-4 England imo.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Rehan Ahmed has been on a bit of a tear domestically, might be tempting to go with the leg spinner in the Ashes. But more likely is that Stokes continues to back Bashir. (Rehan'd also be eaten alive by Smith and Head incidentally, but he'd score more runs than Bashir!)

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Good point Daemon, another moral victory to England.

    *Official* India tour of England 2025 General Discussion

    This is about right. Biggest surprise positive was Stokes' bowling, though obviously tempered by another injury there. That and Archer being fit enough to play Tests again.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Seems reasonable, Tongue the only question mark? Judging on this series you'd definitely flip Stokes and Jadeja in the batting order.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Agree, don't mind the aggressive batting philosophy, it's helped us much more than it's hurt us. Selection more of an issue, mainly the bowling but please get Bethell to play some cricket.

    What we learned from the 5th Test

    Technically, we went 2-1 down to India at home under Silverwood and are 3-2 up under McCullum!

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Brook's bowling at Old Trafford sealed it.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Deliberately not included as it makes the result too obvious.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Need a "bigger heart" poll: Siraj vs Wagner vs Siddle.

    Indian fans love Gambhir now, right?

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    16 wides in the Indian first innings looked bad at the time, but now...

    Noooooooo
  18. Red_Ink_Squid

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Again: this is such a ridiculous match. Love it.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    We should get a wicket back for the decision being so bad
