Jennings still true to form

Not sure I like this. One thing to target a batsman because he's not good against bouncers etc. But to target an injured body part seems wrong.

Harsh on Pope throwing him in at 4 when he only bats at 6 for his county. Should put Bairstow at 3 , Root 4 (he's better here than 3) then Pope /Stokes/Buttler

Rams going to be interesting this year. Recruited well and got a good coach with some strong performances last year.

still my old boring point about England team - what is wrong with having a dull run accumulator at 3 or even as a 2nd opener? A solid player is an enabler for everyone else. Going to get slaughtered in Sri Lanka if we can't find one.

again England bowlers look dull unless things go right for them early on. Bairstow replacement will be a more experienced player on the back of a probable hammering in this Test and Indian tails being up.

needs time to settle. foolish writing him off this early.

Fury has admitted the only reason people will pay to watch him fight is to see if he gets knocked out. If he fights Joshua it will be about personalities etc. not a highly entertaining fight. All depends if he can keep Wilder at arms length. Wilder does have one punch power but will he get...

It's poor. Curran has been playing well. Wasn't he Mom 1st Test?

Don't care. This won't last more than a couple of years. Stupid gimmick.

starting to wonder whether Mooen thinks it's personal when he bats against warks/birm teams :)

Thought Trent Bridge would suit Curran. I would still have preferred they drop Stokes for disciplinary reasons. Anything after this game (and hopefully series won) is going to look cynical anyway. Whatever the outcome of the court case still very poor being pissed up and fighting in the street.

Amazes me Hales got away with it. Kicking and stamping on a guy on the ground. Whether it should have gone to court is a matter for debate but it was still unacceptable drunken thuggish behaviour that shouldn't be ignored by ECB Papers now saying CPS wanted to add 2 charges of ABH which would...

that's just tremendous from Woakes (and Bairstow).

Keep saying but when Anderson hits his straps he's a pleasure to watch. Not just the wicket total but possibly our best quick ever. Down to the batsmen to show some bottle and set-up the win even allowing for the weather.

likes Lords. Bowled beautifully there last year. 73 for 6. get the job done.

Yep I'm in.

anyone going to be filling it before the window closes?

Now he's picked they need to stick with him. Still would prefer to see him lower than 4 for 1st few games. Still a brave move considering how Hameed went. Remember first seeing Steve Smith and could not understand how he got (let alone stayed) in Aussie side. Bell's problems were mental at the...

i really like this side of the club atm. Difficult to compete with PL academies so taking on these promising 18/19 yr olds and giving them to Farndon for a year or two is a solid policy. Only need to hit a couple and it's good business.
