Wanderlust Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Well done Stokes - only the 3rd player in history to get 200 test wickets and 6000 test runs. What a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sri Lanka were good even more recently. Good thing in England is that tests pretty much sell out. Those days are long gone sadly, and unlikely to return unless there's serious changes to the administration of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, having watched Clive Myrie's recent series, there is still a stream of talent there to be honed. Be good to see them get their shit together.

Some collapse in the end. Have they uncovered a good young spinner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lt.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 14 Site Supporter Share Posted August 14 His own performances, especially with the bat have been inconsistent since he became captain. Obviously, just getting back to bowling. We ought to be able to manage the series; you'd imagine he'll still be in the dressing room and having influence.
