that was a good and true article ken, not sure on moeen opening, I would take the same route of Australia and give ben stokes a go at opening, perfert place to test him over the next two series, he wont feel under threat because if it don't work he can drop back down the order, this way they can drop lyth and blood someone in at no3 ready for a move up at a later date if stokes don't work out.

I doubt this will happen

I think this series is marking the end of test cricket as we know it, and I for one are very sad.
A test is a test of all parts of a sportspersons mental and physical abilities, this seem to have been lost now, when one team gets the upperhand , that's it, game over , no steel and backbone anymore. they might aswell go ahead with the idea 90 overs each per innings and be done with it

Number 1 spot

Very happy for the boys. They deserved it after the sh t they been thru. Almost a proper force now, just a little tweak here and there and we can get that no spot back

Wrong for once ken!!!

Aussies will come out tomorrow get a couple of runs in front and then boòooòom. All over

overcsast at trent bridge and jimmy would would of had another fiver+
onions would be good choice for line and length as stokes and finn can leak a few runs, I aint fussed either way as long as lyth is dumped, shame about him cos hes a good slip fielder but bairstow can take his place there

Cmon engerland
