Quite simply, one of them has looked like an international batter and one has not. In particular, Bethell has thrived against high pace Also with the benefit of hindsight, Phil Salt might have been the ideal replacement opener when Crawley was crocked

Yeah, it really feels like Bethell is batting his way into the Test XI here. I'd definitely be giving the gloves to Pope and the drinks to Cox; the only question for me is whether you go 3. Pope :wk:, 6. Stokes :c:, 7. Bethell / 3. Bethell, 6. Stokes :c:, 7. Pope :wk: or 3. Bethell, 6. Pope...

@Paranoid Kendroid is late @CerealKiller it's your go again Currently updating the index

Might as well continue the Delhi Dynasty Speaking of which, that is a better name than Daredevils or Capitals

Coming back to this, is there a real chance he might've played his way out of the team?

:eng: :wk: Godfrey Evans (0 points) 2,439 runs @ 20.49 (2 centuries, best 104) and 219 dismissals (173 caught, 46 stumped) in 91 Test matches 14,882 runs @ 21.22 (7 centuries, best 114) and 1,066 dismissals (816 caught, 250 stumped) in 465 first-class matches Considered by Alan Knott to be the...

:aus: :bat: Don Bradman (50 points) 6,996 runs @ 99.94 (29 centuries, best 334) in 52 Test matches 28,067 runs @ 95.14 (117 centuries, best 452*) in 234 first-class matches It's a big swing to spend half my budget on one player, but come on - it's the Don. No cricketer has ever been more...

@Yash. is late @CerealKiller you go

There's still a place for it imo. During one of the county streams I was watching in the summer, I had an interesting discussion with the commentator (via the comments section) about the importance of a point of difference bowler as opposed to an entire attack bowling 78 mph. He suggested that...

Modern cricket really lacks 72 mph thunderbolts

I mean he still averages 30.03 from 19 Tests with a best of 89. There's not anyone else in the top 7 who easily makes way for him to stay

Don't forget Will Young winning Player of the Series as well. Absolute art

Yeah he looks like a msn who's barely batted for months and who will be bounced out

He would have been one of my two candidates to replace Eoin Morgan as white ball skipper. Quite obviously that ship is long gone

I agree that they have, but I don't think it's the right call personally. You've got some chronically inexperienced young players here and they could learn so much from how Bairstow and Jordan manage a game - and they'd have exlerience for Livingstone to lean on if they see him as leadership...

It's hard to know who else to pick when there's not been a meaningful List A game player in England since 2019

When I tried to pick a squad for this tour, I ended up with: :eng: :wkb: Phil Salt :eng: :bat: Jonny Bairstow :eng: :bat: Sam Hain :eng: :bat: James Vince :eng: :bat: Will Jacks :eng: :ar: Liam Livingstone :eng: :ar: Sam Curran :eng: :ar: Chris Jordan :c: :eng: :bwl: Adil Rashid :eng: :bwl...
