He's not PL 🙂

There's the issue.

Pub team of mercenaries beaten by pub team

I don't think there is much option apart from Buttler. I am not sure it was a good idea to get Stokes back either, especially as he can't bowl. I would have preferred him to get fit for batting and bowling in tests. I certainly think that generational change is going to happen now. A lot of this team won't be around for much longer and it may be time to bite that bullet, even if it means going backwards for a few years. Not sure that Mott was the right answer, either, although I don't know who else would be available and willing to do it. Perhaps Trott, who is doing wonders with Afghanistan?

They're the ones which in the pre-Howe days we routinely butchered. 👍

That's pretty impressive. 🙂

May have set a precedent I'm afraid.

Absolutely fucked now. Only played a couple of good teams. Be lucky to be ahead of the Dutch at the end. 😡
