Casino Posted December 17, 2022 Author Posted December 17, 2022 Ah Still think thats a bit unfair on rashid, even though his better stuff has been white ball, he did ok in tests Be a big job to research, but as we have only had 1 leggie with over 100 wickets, AR did OK Quote

Sure, but in large part helped but scoring a hundred on a pitch which produced the third highest run aggregate in Test match history. I know until very recently his first class batting average was below thirty (even now it's only 30.5). Quote

Smiley Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 Is it too late for Harry Brook to get a knighthood in the honours list? He’s been nothing short of sensational. And before every jumps on the pitches being suited to the “batters” - Joe Root isn’t cashing in on these surfaces. Remarkable. Going back to a debate from a few months ago, is Buttler worth a try as a Test opener? Have we any more spare series we can try him out before the Ashes, or are we sticking with Crawley? Quote

I think Buttler’s test days are passed, but who knows? Quote
Traf Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Decent bowling performance so far this innings. Quote
