We are all living in Gus Atkinson’s world right now and I couldn’t be happier

I always liked watching Dawid Malan, such an elegant cricketer and always got a lot of hate that he didn’t deserve. The man was super consistent and was a shame he couldn’t have had a longer career in an England shirt. He is only one of two Englishmen to hit international centuries in three...

We change nothing. In Scott Borthwick we trust.

Unchanged

I would say this is the first time a team I’ve drafted on cricket captain has conceded a century to Dom Bess but that would be a lie

Just realised, if I knew this was gonna be a CC draft I would have picked Gary Ballance and Ollie Pope first

We'll round off our team with Ajmal Shahzad to create our fast bowling quartet. 1. :bat: Keaton Jennings 2. :wkb: Alec Stewart 3. :bat: Dawid Malan 4. :ar: Paul Collingwood :c: 5. :ar: Scott Borthwick 6. :ar: Moeen Ali 7. :wk: Geraint Jones 8. :ar: Chris Jordan 9. :bwl: Ajmal Shahzad 10. :bwl...

Genuinely, shut up

You didn’t see anything… let’s try again second time round and not pick an invalid player. Very much the opposite of Will Jacks is Scott Borthwick. A seasoned county championship pro with only one test match to his name and no potential for anyone more. He’s used in county championship as more...

I will pick Chris Jordan. More known for his exploits with a white ball in the shorter forms of the game. But his FC stats aren’t bad for a 3rd/4th seamer and handy number 8 batter Also is one of the best allround fielders England have ever produced, with him and Collingwood on the pitch no...

Genuinely sent me for a spin that. RIP to an under appreciated England great. Gone too soon

Well with a double pick and a late pick to catch up on, got to make these count. First up is Geraint Jones, a solid test keeper for England despite having some competition but his icon status will always be cemented with Ashes 2005 and that winning catch at Edgbaston to dismiss Michael...

This will be a true measure of how far we have come as a team. In our second ever game 2 years ago, we bowled Denmark out for a similar score and fell agonizingly short then, hopefully it isnt the same outcome

What a bowling performance especially from the leader of the attack Zach. But this pitch is difficult to bat on and they have elite elite bowlers throughout. Those 3 drops could be the difference between winning and losing. But we’ve got to back ourselves to win here and we do. Mills, WGC and...

Thought something special had happy today. A while back I created a formula by which you can go from the latest test debutant to a player in the first test by jumping through players via players they’ve played with or against in official international matches of any format. The formula goes...

Let’s get more pace and height into this attack now shall we. Steven Finn is to join Mark Wood in leading the bowlers :wkb: Alec Stewart :ar: Moeen Ali :ar: Paul Collingwood :bwl: Mark Wood :bwl: Steven Finn Back to you @Till Valhalla

Jofra’s talk about getting fit and targeting test cricket for the ashes down under while on comms during the Hundred today got me thinking about the potential ashes squad down under in 2025. This what I would take in a hypothetical 18 man squad if I were the selectors 1. Zak Crawley 2. Ben...

Well let’s get some pace in here and there is no Englishman faster than Mark Wood out there @Umair7

We’ll be going unchanged
