2019 Cricket

England have the bones of a very good team here for the next 5 - 10 years. A lot of young players who have very good promise and they are getting to cut their teeth.
 
Also. Would you give Jimmy and Broady a last hurrah against the Windies and then get a new groip going for the Pakistan series?

Wood, Archer, Curran, Stokes, Bess, Leach, Woakes, Overton and Mahmood as the bowling options

I think that’s exactly what is going to happen - they are both going to love the early summer conditions in England and then for Pakistan they bring the likes of Archer , Overton or Mahmoud into replace them

Got the makings of a very good team with just the question marks over the spinners - Sri Lanka will give us a good answer to those

And that’s superb work from Pope and some great bowling from Bess and Wood so far this morning

And again ??
 
Hell fire Fun Day I am about 15 minutes behind and saw that you had made a comment and hoped for the best. Root 3/15. Think the odds you quoted yesterday may have changed. 3/19 now with a ball similar to Atherton’s test wicket a few years‘ ago!
 
before he had a wicket today i tweeted "amazing how highly Root rates his own off spin considering the lack of trust he places in almost every other spinner he captains" - taking full credit for these wickets haha
Gave himself the best end according to Mark Wood.:)
