Eskinazi sucked for us but his Cricinfo stats are actually decent.
He did more for us than Adam Lyth and Faf du Plessis combined though.

Talking shit about the Hobgod.
For shame.
For shame.
Nothing wrong with being an average cricketer. I'd love to be average at this god forsaken sport.
Baffling line up for England. Atkinson hasn't had the rewards but I feel he has been their best bowler so far. Certainly better than Carse.
Ollie Pope retaining his spot just tells me they are not taking this seriously. He is not a test quality bat. You simply cannot pick a number 3 that's still averaging 35 after 60 odd tests. In 7 tests against Australia he has never reached 50.
And they wonder why they're the laughing stock of test cricket.

Lyth was the worst.
Going to be a drubbing
Tongue can take wickets, but can also spray them. If Archer is tired after his first spell, and Carse and Tongue are being pummelled on a flat deck, Stokes will bowl himself till he breaks. This was always a likely outcome of the tour.

They dropped Atkinson? And they are taking Jacks as their frontline spinner to Adelaide? 
Yeah, Jacks is a pie chucker. No better than Root or Head (although I like both Root and Head).They dropped Atkinson? And they are taking Jacks as their frontline spinner to Adelaide?

Well in my experience if Root or Head isn't working then yes you need to turn to Jacks

My read on things would be that Root is the best of those three names with the ball in hand. By a fair margin.
And he still got tonked for 100 runs by a bunch of County players at Lilac Hill

Agreed, but if they want Joe Root to bowl 10-15 overs when its high 30s just before he bats, I won't be overly disappointed
Grooming Shoaib Bashir to be a drinks boy in Australia as it turned out.
Jack Leach, I thought he was as important to Bazball as fast scoring batsman. What's happened to him?

Too soon to have Peake play in Adelaide or do we save him until Boxing day?
Assumed he was Palestinian tbh
