Gurbaz done a reverse Sehwag - 4 off every ball except the first

Had a good week of sleep and now there's two test matches starting in at 3:30-4am.

Cricket stupidity at its finest. 1 run to win from 24 balls and a strategic time out is called.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh have unlocked Nahid Rana, bowling 145kph (gets close to 150 too). #paceispace

Shamar Joseph-like?

Shamar Joseph-like?

Looks a far bit taller, but has Joseph like pace. Bit expensive but if they can get a good pace coach to work with him I could see him in the national set up soon.

Nahid Rana

More importantly, a whopping first-class batting average of 0.84 from 15 games suggests a character with cult hero potential

Had a think about what an England squad might look like if all The Hundred players were unavailable. Based on those in the test squad without contracts, the recent Lions squad and a few others.

1 Jennings
2 Lees
3 Bohannon
4 Price
5 Rew
6 Foakes
7 Higgins
8 Aldridge
9 Robinson
10 Leach
11 Anderson

12 Bashir
13 Coles/Barnard
14 Miles/Norwell/Porter
15 Sibley/Hameed
16 Westley/Gubbins


Any thoughts from others what your side would look like minus players from the main T20 tournament?

Our main T2O tournament doesn't have Test players outside of short periods where the Tests aren't

By the way, @wasteyouryouth who'd captain your England side?

Bohannon captained for the Lions. Although I'd give it to Jimmy or maybe stick Tom Westley in at 4 and have him captain.
