Who do we have to replace Jimmy, assuming we are saying Broad’s loss has already been covered?

I do tend to agree with that. I looked at the batting line up and thought who do I fancy to get runs here and Root was not one of them. I may be harsh in saying that and I hope he proves me wrong, but I don’t see him getting a match winning/saving big score in India whereas come a sunny day...

Oh so that’s why you haven’t sent me that report I specifically asked for by 10 this morning?!

More surprising is that we will get the 90 overs in, which is rare at home even with the extra half hour. Having an attack full of spinners may help with that somewhat!

I’m at least pleased to have that in common with England’s captain, as I can’t bowl either!

Yes, those shots of Brian Close in his 40s getting peppered by Holding et al with minimal protection and certainly no helmet = frightening, dangerous, brave, stupid, all of the above!

And then against the prime Windies ‘we‘ll make them grovel’ attack in 1976 where he was one of the few, not forgetting the double ton from Dennis Amiss, that did well.

I haven’t read the whole thread so apologies if already offered, but what about David Steele?

Would you be able to use her as a spinning option on a wearing track though?

Real bravery from the skipper too to throw the ball to Hartley and show him the faith he needed when others may not have done. Brilliant win!

Lucky you. Have a great time. Isn’t Hyderabad ‘dry’ (don’t mean the weather!)?
