Keith Barker, the County Championship Philander?

Yorkshire really are going to screw this up aren't they

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 10:26:02 AM
@Will - Woakes?

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 10:24:50 AM
well, over to you lower middle order. As has been the case for 3 years, get us out of the shite please

by Joe Williams 9/22/2017 10:24:21 AM
I was honestly midway through typing out 'why do Warwickshire have zero good seamers?'

Thank you Jeetan, who needs seamers

But he doesn't because he's no longer in the same division as Shantry.

by StaggerBreaths 9/22/2017 10:18:40 AM
That's because of Trego's bionic arm, disguised as a tattoo. He can bowl at 200mph if he wants to.

by Brendan Mulcahy 9/22/2017 10:17:47 AM
I also picked that tail thinking that I'd already picking Darren Stevens. I'm so sorry Darren, please take Stokes' spot at 6

by Will Colwell 9/22/2017 10:16:51 AM
WICKET: Essex 272/8 (103.1 ov, lead by 94 - 2nd inns) v Hampshire

IG Holland 16.1-5-29-1 JS Foster 10* (30)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/22/2017 10:15:18 AM
there is no chance Ben Stokes bowls quicker than Peter Trego. I have watched both and I'm not having it

by Will Colwell 9/22/2017 10:14:38 AM
@Will Stokes has bowled 90mph before surely that disqualifies him

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 10:13:26 AM
Sigh.

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/22/2017 10:11:50 AM
Very fair point Dav.

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 10:11:04 AM
Somehow I've made a team out of bits and pieces all-rounders and Liam Dawson still doesn't make the XI

by Will Colwell 9/22/2017 10:10:35 AM
TRJ has a higher batting average than bowling average in tests at the minute, that's a qualifier surely

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 10:10:09 AM
CC XI - Cook - Stoneman - Sangakkara -Mitchell - Northeast - Foakes - A Davies - Archer - Coad - Harmer - Porter

by acarey87 9/22/2017 10:08:32 AM
Allowing no-one with express pace:

Jennings, Lyth, Abell, Bopara, Moeen, Stokes, Ambrose+ (you seen his bowling average??), Samit, Rikki, Trego, Joe Leach

by Will Colwell 9/22/2017 10:08:22 AM
Vaughan would find a way to get Buttler in there

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 10:08:19 AM
Samit?

by David Taylor 9/22/2017 10:08:06 AM
Stevens and Trego worth a shout. Are we saying TRJ is an all-rounder?

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 10:07:50 AM
TRJ and Dawson would get in surely

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 10:07:16 AM
Notts and Yorks to lose today? Happy Friday folks!

by Beth Watson 9/22/2017 10:06:28 AM
Bopara, Clarke, Broad? #hasatest100

Woakes Stokes Ali Patel Archer Currans...

by StaggerBreaths 9/22/2017 10:05:26 AM
Who would be in the England allrounders XI ?

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 10:04:39 AM
WICKET: Somerset 132/5 (46 ov, trail by 32 - 2nd inns) v Surrey

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/22/2017 10:03:25 AM
Wasn't Aggers presenting a case for Woakes to bat 3 recently?

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 10:03:24 AM
Reckon there's any chance Australia's attack will resemble Gloucestershire's

by Will Colwell 9/22/2017 10:03:11 AM
This is why we need to bring back Samit. The all-round all-rounder.

by StaggerBreaths 9/22/2017 10:02:05 AM
not enough people suggesting Liam Dawson at 3 for my liking

by Will Colwell 9/22/2017 10:01:39 AM
You can never have enough all rounders

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 10:01:15 AM
If that all-rounder is Stevens I'd have no complaints.

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 10:00:27 AM

WICKET: Nottinghamshire 119/4 (47 ov, target: 314) v Northants
CA Pujara c Levi b Kleinveldt 14 (44) Partnership: 28 (15.3 ov)
RK Kleinveldt 13-2-29-3 JD Libby 34* (129)

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/22/2017 9:58:19 AM
But Bayliss would try and make him keep wicket, to fit another all-rounder in.

by David Taylor 9/22/2017 9:57:43 AM
Any way we can fast track Sanga a passport for the Ashes? One way to put the no.3 issues to bed.

by Matt Richardson 9/22/2017 9:55:48 AM
Best team: Cook Sanga Sanga Sanga (c) Sanga Stevens Sanga (wk) Archer Harmer Porter Porter 12th man Leach.

Assuming some of the Sangas go Kolpak, unable to get into the national side because Sanga beat them to it.

by StaggerBreaths 9/22/2017 9:54:39 AM
Thought I put him in, probably for Northeast

by Dav3theRav3951 9/22/2017 9:53:08 AM
Oh Bally.
