Yeah Compton another good one. I don’t mind Crawley but he just isn’t an opening batsman. He would be ok at 5/6 where the ball isn’t swinging but like you say at the minute he’s just getting out the same way and he isn’t able to fix it. Jennings although not brilliant I think is steady enough and like you say he’s excellent against spin. I’d expect Compton to be before him though and for me personally Haines. I follow Sussex and last couple of years he’s come on a long way 

I think I would give Crawley this next match and then make a decision on him. No pressure on the game, series won, has to hit something. I would put leach in that category but i just don’t rate him at all 

Don't think there will be many people who will argue with you about Leach. He can spin it a bit, but he cannot tie down an end and create pressure. Is there anyone in the A side who we could consider promoting?

Judging by the recent Warne ball of the century recreation challenge we might have a few decent spinners in 10 years time.

Anyone been watching the games against the Dutch? 

Highly entertaining and been streamed for free on the website and on youtube I believe 

 

Yep, I enjoyed those games. England's one day game looks in good shape. They may only have been playing minnows but you can only beat who you're playing that day and they did so pretty convincingly.

Yeah I’ve got mixed feelings on it. On the one hand I understand why you’d launch a counter but each test is different and has different playing conditions so need to adjust. England have committed to this style and fair play if it comes off like Trent Bridge but today is what can also happen doing that.

Might not even bat out the allocated twenty overs at this rate 😅

Astonishing and both sides have missed out on drs reviews which would have changed the game, Overton and Mitchell should both have been out lbw before they had 10.

It always amazes me as a left hand bat how bad right handers are at facing inswing from left armers. I think they should watch how a class left hander plays right arm over inswing. Tip number 1 don`t bat with your bat behind your pad!

Looks like we might get another exciting run chase in order. 296 to win for England. Fair play to Jack Leech for getting 10 wickets in the match, not been his biggest fan but he’s bowled really well in this match as has Matt Potts too.

Anyone in the Leeds area they’re doing free admission for tomorrows play as well. Great to see this become a trend after Notts did the same.
