England v Hong Kong & Pakistan v Nepal, Nov 8

[Arthur Crabtree]

Changing the keeper is allowed within an eleven aside game if the opposition captain agrees.

165/7 off 34 overs so it's well over as a contest.

HK 173 all out. 4 wickets for Willey.

4 for Willey, 2 for Toply, 2 for Rashid, 1 for Root, 1 for Woakes.

If Topley is bowling and England are playing eleven, maybe he's ahead of Finn to start the first game. So I guess that would mean Finn is still injured.

Is Finn even in the squad any more? Not in the squad photo or on Cricinfo's list.

Edit: Yeah, he was ruled out of the whole tour when he left the Test squad. Jordan replaced him in both squads.

Nepal 205/5. Good, respectable batting performance.

Topleys accuracy and cutters might be useful on these slow wickets

He could be our Nathan bracken

Quite a good comparison. Is there room for both Topley and Willey in the same XI though?

can someone explain the 66 joke to me.

There is an old song called Route 66.

Also buttler injured is finger which is why he was replaced by bairstow.

Think the highway Route 66 is more well known.

...and yes I know this is a cover version but it's my favourite.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Prefer the Depeche Mode version.
