There is absolutely no reason to play as a no 1,2,3, in the modern context unless yu are a player with enough about you to change your approach (avoid using the word technique here please)

I am sure no armchair experts appreciate the self management that is required to gradate in cricket- it is an unreal quality and that is why there are arguably only three players in the world capable of doing it to a high standard. (don't have to name them do I?) So everyone else relies upon repetition repetition etc etc until an approach to the game becomes a natural one- that's the thing about natural it's...........natural?? So then you cant change it unless you are one of the aforementioned big trio of demi- genius'

Either you pay cricketers at the sub prime level enough to make boring the boobies off everyone an attractive prospect, or you settle for the dross, I have, in equal measures, a high regard for Burns' achievements these last few years and an absolute mistrust of a methodology which will have the likes of Cummins ,Starc and any other world class bowler salivating. He is not the answer - unless the question is 'how not to.....''...Lets face it he gets the gig because he is the last man standing

In conclusion (if you get this far) pick the best XI test class players and ....I dunno..draw lots.? Sure, Moen ain't ideal at no 3 but he is about as good as we have, in the country, so we better hope he can just do a job, because there is, literally , no one else even approaching capable.

Quick q - how many folks had a go at Trott? .....HA I thought so - no pleasing you, is there?

-from the suggestion box...Go for the one who's the best fielder..........Lythe?

I haven't posted on a cricket board for five years........wow! the return of diteras aka?.....nah, life is already too damned short.


see ya

we could try playing cricket in the English summer, rather than half of it in the very early spring, followed by the rest of it just as the Aussie domestic season is about to start.

Little wonder most batsmen don't gain the experience required to give them a half decent chance of being successful at test level.... and this is particularly noticeable with top order batsmen.... something I think can be laid firmly at the door of the ECB

looking at the scores for the last round of county championship matches with several first innings totals of about 100, it's hard to see how any young batsman can lay claim to a place on a winter tour, let alone be successful on it. Says something when Keaton Jennings can have such a poor summer, and with no credit in the bank, yet be absolutely in the best position to be assured of an openers berth in SL

Remember Jennings playing spin on the Lions tour to West Indies. In fact none of them could play spin.

my stats the last season I made up the numbers after I had announced in 2007 I could no longer react to the ball and my shoulder refused to bowl. So pressed into embarrassing myself 2013
matches 5
catches 0
fielding errors . not recorded thankfully
innings 3
not out- 3
runs against (spin-7)
runs against pace -4 (edge through slips to vacant third man - me too Keaton)

av 11 :clap

also was scoring with my own .4 mm multi coloured pens (a thing of beauty)and drove my car to away matches so took three players minimum. Am a trained nurse with a psycho therapeutic background - so good with motivational team talks and original sledges - highlight include '' were you not on you-tube last week showing off your alien implant?'' - (bit too off line for most, but trust me in, the circumstances I thought it hilarious. nothing else matters)

conclusion - I would be more use than Jennings -and cheaper too

pity I wont fly. :scared

this is the last. Enjoy the winter - just remembered a tour where Fred and Hoggard were toiling in :SL: SL with the speed gun barely touching 76 mph. :hide Good luck Mr Curran :horse :horse

Not for the first time some thinly veiled criticism from Bell of the County schedule - he said last week we won’t produce another Cook with the current format and pitches.

No Willey, but Woakes is back. Dawson is a pitch specific selection.

Also talk of Roy for the Test team. It would be funny if Roy was picked and Burns omitted.

Roy is already 'in the loop'

if he wasn't being charged with bringing the game into disrepute, Hales might have had more chance than Burns too

Burns, Denly and Stone get first call ups for the Tests in SL. Leach is recalled. Only two openers in the squad.


Burns/Jennings/Root/Denly/Pope/Stokes
Moeen/Leach/Rashid
Buttler/Bairstow
Anderson/Broad/Woakes/Stone/Curran

Burns/Jennings/Root/Denly/Pope/Stokes
Moeen/Leach/Rashid
Buttler/Bairstow
Anderson/Broad/Woakes/Stone/Curran


So a projected team something akin to:

Jennings
Burns/Denly
Ali/Denly
Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Buttler
Ali/Curran/Rashid/Woakes
Leach/Rashid
Broad
Anderson

with Stone the spare paceman?

Denly's not an opener. Bit of a strange choice.
