Obviously he should improve with more games but certainly no world beater at present. Overton just looks a very tidy change bowler. So they should have no option to either select a spinner or a batsman (if they really are stupid enough to play no frontline spinner at Sydney) from the original squad. And there was no point selecting 16 players to take to Oz, and specifically Crane, if they weren't under any circumstances going to be picked. Mo isnt even functioning at 50%, he'd be dropped by his county in Div2 if he was playing like this. Only a 5% drop off in performance is enough to see many decent Test bowlers be disposed of, and rightly so in nearly all cases, e.g. Too often we have seen him allow new batsmen to get a start against our lesser bowlers instead of bringing back anderson or broad for a short spell Yeah i made a comment the other day that Root's captaincy has been a bit iffy, his bowling changes dont make alot of sense at times One of the comms on TMS commented on the different fields he set for Moeen and himself that encouraged Warner to try and go over the top whereas with Moeen he had sweepers everywhere.

Highlights the problem we've created with Central contracts stopping "on the job" experience on the county circuit I've been really disappointed with Root's Captaincy and think he is getting an easy ride at the moment from his 'buddies ' in the media.

Thing is Ali's batting has been poor as well so not really sure he merits a top 6 spot as a batsmanĪveraging just 27 in 2017 and 19 for the series so farįair points but I'd play him at 7 Cook, Stoneman,Malan, Root, Bairstow, Foulkes, Moeen, Woakes,Broad, Crane/Curran,Jimmy Wonder if Australia will risk Starc with the tour of SA not too far away. If the wicket looks like like it will turn (it hasn't lately), Crane for Curran seems likely. Would also like to see Foulkes make his debut (in place of Vince) as the experience may well help his long term development. Root doesn't seem to have any confidence in Moeen so that may decide his fate. If Overton is fit again does he come back in and if so who for?ĭoes Vince merit another game, especially when the backup batsman is Ballance?

If its a straight swap that leaves us with Woakes at #7 and a very long tail Seems to be alot of people saying that Moeen needs to be dropped for next week and give Crane a go
