Odean Smith or Oshane Thomas 93.4 and 93.0.... can they do it in first class cricket?

Plunkett 30.22 Woakes 31.83 Willey 35.94 Stokes 38.20 Wood 44.16 Ball 45.28 econ 6.22 Curran, only 3 games but bowling 15.28 and batting 46.00 :yes Just can't see why Wood and Ball are playing.

George Garton is called up for Ball cover. I expect it was because he bowls left-arm quick and England want some practice before facing Starc. I think Josh Tongue is a better bowler. 47 wickets at 25.78 last season. Garton 10 wickets at 32.90.

Ball probably has the worst stats after 3 Tests. 2 wickets at 114.00 Economy rate in ODIs 6.25. Maybe the Australian pitches will suit him. So far in the warm-up games he has done quite well. The selectors would have done better to give Mark Wood match practice with England than with the...

Me too. He will probably play in the 3rd warm-up game.

Reading through this thread and in 2015 I came across this - :lol Sky Sports have out together a team they think will play the next Ashes test in Brisbane. 1. Cook 2. Hales 3. Root 4. Vince 5. Hain 6. Stokes 7. Buttler 8. Rashid 9. Willey 10. Broad 11. Finn Anway Finn heading home and T...

With Pakistan's bowling attack I don't think we are going to get many runs especially with the new guys Hales, Vince, Bairstow and the new number 3. Look at our batsmen last time Cricket Records | Pakistan in England Test Series, 2010 - England | Records | Batting and bowling averages | ESPN...

I bet you it isn't. Broad is back on Friday. England are convinced Jordan is the best death bowler with Topley so I see Willey dropped.

Eng team for 50-over warm-up: Hales, Roy, Taylor, Morgan, Buttler, Moeen, Bairstow, Rashid, Willey, Jordan, Topley Stokes, Root, Broad and Woakes sitting out but expected to came back for the first ODI. Who will they replace? I was thinking Root for Taylor, Stokes for Bairstow, Broad for...

Hales will open with Compton coming in at 3. All his county experience to replace Bell's Test experience. Finn is likely to be on the tour as his recovery has been quicker than expected. He's out in UAE with the EPP. Yes I would like to see Footitt get a chance ahead of Woakes and Jordan. Cook...

Anderson 13 wickets at 15.61. Anderson and Broad are England's best bowlers, why would you have left one of them out. Don't you think Anderson can reverse swing the ball? He has got hundreds of wickets doing just that. We should have played 4 fast bowlers and Ali. Seam - 31 wickets at 24.58...

Still can't get over Malik's bowling figures. Before the series his average was 61.47. Even more part time than Root 44.66. Then 11 wickets for 20.72. Was wondering why Root wasn't used but England say it was nothing to do with his back. Root has 8 wickets at 38.87 this year.

255.5-61-628-27 (23.25 econ 2.45 s/r 56.8) Swann and Panesar last time 295.1-23-1202-20 (60.1 econ 4.07 s/r 88.5) Ali, Rashid and Patel - frightening bowling

Isn't it time Cook won a toss? Pakistan have won 6/9 tosses in the UAE since Jan 2014.

I am guessing First warm up - Cook Ali Bell Tayor Root Bairstow Stokes Buttler Rashid Broad Anderson Second warm up - Cook Hales Taylor Root Ali Patel Buttler Rashid Plunkett Wood Finn

Looks like Surrey will win Div 2. No enough time for Lancs to do anything.

Won't be Willey. Need a 85 mph minimum. I see Woakes and Broad to open the bowling.

I prefer Swann opening as he has done this for Notts. Sometimes it will work and sometimes not. Trott takes a bit of time to get going and that puts pressure on Strauss. I prefer Foster as he gets more stumpings than any other bowler and is also a good finisher. Sidebottom started off in ODIs...

I agree with you on Prior. I think we would be better off with Foster who can finish an innings down the order. Kieswetter in the CL didn't look that great and his keeping is as bad as Davies although they are both still young. Mahmood has done well so far. I think he will cement his place...

Can't wait to see India v England at Eden Gardens. :)
