In all the calls for England batters is mad the DBD has never been given a go.

If they were a club team we would all be on play cricket working out the points.

The best England teams since 2005 were based on a mix of selection of people dominating first class cricket and talent. They need to have a mixture of talent and stats. It’s so irritating to hear this idiotic statements. They sound like people at work who came back from a future leadership course.

He should be the next England coach. Has Max played cricket? Suspect years of football academy means he probs stopped young.

Today’s races were epic!! The women’s race in particular.

Also your 100% about selection there is still room for the odd “talent” selection but it goes to far and there should be a mix of the two. Look how successful Aus are with Hodge, Rodgers, Hussey etc experienced pros coming in.

How do you think that South Africa would have played? Seemed similar to their surfaces I think their batter would have dug in reminiscent of the odd J’burg surfaces.

Well exactly the way to make more money isn’t to invest in making things better. Anyone who deals with IT updates in their job has this where it’s got worse. It’s a monopsony there is only one buyer ICC needs to demand better and not leave it to host broadcasts

Will he be back in cyclocross now he’s singed with them?

Also he’s throwing some fabulous bombers. None of this long point rubbish.

Also to add it’s still not a terrible shout he’s been there and done it and is OK in Australia I’m more saying it’s a shame these other players fitting the same mould haven’t been spoken about.

Lyth was autocorrected to Luther lol

The flipside I would look at CC Div1 top averages Hameed, Sibley, Luther and Simpson (also a keeper). All now more experienced players who know their game and would give some grit and not let people down. Maybe Bairstow is in the same mould but poor John Simpson’s sats are wasted in three COVID ODIs
