I don't think Cox or Haines count as youngsters anymore, and I have no idea who Airshow is!!

But surely Bethell is next cab and after that, who knows, Rew is making a good case at the mo.
England have tended to pick one spare batter in the squad and slot him in wherever there’s space, hence Bethell played at 3 in New Zealand and then at 6 the other day. Rew you’d imagine would only come into the team if Smith gets injured. I know he’s not been on good form, but I wonder if Ben McKinney would get a go if one of the openers gets injured, he’s tall and left-handed so there’d be some contrast with both Crawley and Duckett, and he did hit a ton against Australia A

lmao gotta love how English-Aussie commentators really stick it in to their rivals when they suck. As opposed to the mealymouthed platitudes we used to get during Indo-Pak games.
Pre covid pak cricketers used to give lot of stick to us expect akram. Remember imran's sachin not a match winner remark. Post covid they understood indians fans are bunch of idiots whom you can make money off(thank you shoaib)

Actually, yes. Imran, Sohail, and even Waqar have been cunty in commentary at various times. It's our idiots who usually come with the bhaichaara/brotherhood narrative

What does COVID have to do with any of this?
Post covid viewing YouTube channels esp during lockdown increased in india and shoaib akther started singing praises about indian cricket whenever india won.this peaked with gabba test. Soon ramiz rashid latif and even newbies like Ahmad shezad and salman butt started buttering indian players increasing there subscribers.since urdu and hindi are mutually understandable millons indians who understand both languages started to watch these channels

Waqar is actually speaks quite nicely about indian cricketers except that namaz among hindus fisco. Its imran who is condescending towards indian cricket. Our idiots esp sunny and harby are shameless
