2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

Continuing to pick and bowl Bashir should be declared a war crime. They should be tried at The Hague

There are so many who deserve a chance. The English posters would know better but I think Leach Dawson Hartley etc have all done better at international level.

Spicy English wickets would be back when the English bowling and batting units are more on level with each other and the team isn't entirely reliant on their bats to win, until then, live with what you have.

Good to see someone acknowledge the pitch doctoring that is taking place.

Excellent idea.
When they bring Bashir as a whitness, he can play for my Saturday Afternoon Social League Team, which is only 10 minutes (by bicycle, as we do here) from the ICC.

We are playing India it's fine to doctor pitches against them

Brook literally giving throwdowns

 

[Thala_0710]

The highest score by an Indian in England!

Declaration bowling, good thinking Ben

 

[Gob]

Scores double tons in day time. Makes passionate love to sachin's daughter at night times. Shubman is a class act

Shubman 222* @SillyCowCorner1

[Stapel]

akash can bat

Across various formats, he has one fifty in 90 innings, averaging 11 or so.
Unless he can simply stay there, like a nightwatchman, I can't see him being of much use with the bat.

 

[King Kane]

England are waving the white flag with Brook bowling, I bowled better than him in the nets and I was an opener that hardly ever bowled.

 

[chris.hinton]

Bizarre bringing Brook on

Bizarre bringing Brook on

It wouldn't be the first time a set batsman, having his eye lids wide open, smacks the ball to a fielder on the boundary. Worth a try, given the situation, I guess.

Edit: not sure he should have another, though.

Are england going to get docked wtc points again?

Sunil Gavaskar- 221 Oval 1979
Rahul Dravid- 217 Oval 2002

 

[SkyBlue]

Washy is such an underrated batter


This is exactly what we needed. Someone to hang in there, suffocate England by playing a Pujara type innings. We have too many strokemakers in the side but very few batsmen with old school test match temperament. The collapse wouldn't have happened if Washy played the first test IMO

Does Little Lord Fauntleroy score faster with the bat or the ball?

Yeah. He can always get a good cherry or just be unlucky but you can rest easy he'll fight it out in the middle. Just a good vibes player to have in the side.

 

[Gremlin]

Gill has got over 10% of his test runs in this innings alone.
