Really like the way this season some counties are giving proper youngsters a chance. Sussex-Kent seems to have about 10 18-20 year olds playing in current game. Ather's son getting his Middlesex debut at 19. Baker an 18 year old bowling nicely for Worcs. Other counties giving 21-22 year olds a...

smart arse :)

Italy may have possession but England look very comfortable defending that

Another good win. Actually nice to see so many new faces. Mahmood looks a real find. Parkinson a brave leggie but needs some tricks. Simpson looks decent and could do a job if needed but realistically never going to get a shot. Like to see more of Salt. Batters need to show a bit more...

Paul Mariner - part of wonderful Ipswich team that played some great football

Surprisingly easy - combination of good bowling and dodgy batting. Mahmood impressive, Parkinson interesting. But it's Pakistan - same side can just as easily come out and smash 350 next time round. But they have been on a good run recently

Split loyalties for the final ?😀

Love football 😁

Remembered it was the Duke of Norfolk's XI. Game used to be at Arundel.

Right time to pick some brains. This squad reminds of the sort of representative team that touring sides always used to play before the Tests (aside from their games against a few counties). Used to be a mixture of fringe players and a few vets. What was that side called? Name didn't anything...

slightly underwhelmed. Would have looked at Hain. Liked to have seen Brook from Yorks in there. Like the Carse, Salt & Parkinson picks. But Overton, Vince, Gregory mehh. Hope Briggs has a stinker - too important for the Bears :)

Think there's enough interesting young batsmen worth seeing. Slightly more concerned about the bowling options. But it is a test against a Pakistan side that can be very useful in 50 over cricket - certainly going to be more aggressive than Sri Lanka were. Wonder whether Hales gets a call as well.

What a complete balls up. Hopefully they really go young prospects rather than has-beens.

don't get these England one day selections. Playing weak opposition so get a look at some different middle order batsmen. Moeen at 6 isn't right. Billings smh. It's nice looking at all the bowling options/combinations but we've not learnt anything new about those players - still a rehash of...

some pretty ordinary bowling after a good start.

Bit harsh, Not really been involved in overseas test side tours since 2017 Ashes when all the quicks were pretty average. England's overseas Test form been average at best for a while now.

Pickford deserves some credit - never been a fan myself - but kept well. Do like Phillips - think he brings something extra to that midfield.

We're outnumbered about 20 to 1 by German fans in a sports bar in the middle of Budapest and we're loving it!! Locals were backing us!! Ofc the Scots & Irish were supporting Germany. All very good natured but we're giving it the big one anyway

Havertz & Werner been poor in Pl so guaranteed to look world-class tonight

Not only a top bowler in all forms but can bat - him at number 8 in any form isn't the beginning of the tail it's part of the batting line up
