Meenzer 15526 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've never watched it either, yet the all-pervasive nature of tedious mainstream hetero culture means I know far too much about it. No offence like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9400 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 So Wood in, no other changes. A bit surprised Pope keeps the gloves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21921 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I’m surprised Foakes isn’t back in. I guess he might still be suffering with the virus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I guess they like the balance with Woods’ ‘X factor’ pace replacing Livingstone’s part time spin (but of course losing the latter’s batting). Foakes must be one of the unluckiest cricketers going though. By rights he should’ve had dozens more test caps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9400 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Tremendous game (again). Foakes for Jacks next game for me, otherwise as is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he'll want to play, no more cricket for him until Feb in NZ which seems a long way to go for a 2 test series btw. Maybe give the young leggy a whirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducket Crawley (Cummings/Starc/Hazelwood'll eat him alive I fear). Pope Root Brook Foakes or Johnny B (I'd rather Foakes - catches win matches as they say). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Yeah, I think probably Wood or Archer even if they’re both fit. Leach will play too. I think Moeen retired from tests (although that doesn’t have to be permanent). I think Leach has been messed about with being in and out the team (before Stokes was captain). If they think he’s the best spinner they should back him and stick with him. I really hope Foakes gers the gloves tbh. I think he’s a pretty decent test batsman anyway but he’s a superb keeper. Should be a good series and hopefully we can sneak a win and regain the Ashes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a good series and hopefully we can sneak a win and regain the Ashes Yeah Moeen retired but he said couple of months ago that he might reconsider. Whoever get's in for first test squad expect few changes barring injury for the remainder, that's one thing they've stressed, you're picked because we think you are good enough, go and play and don't worry about it. 100% on Foakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 11269 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Can't see them picking Moeen ahead of Leach, not since Baz and Stokes have been so keen on keeping faith in players. Only if he is injured, I would have thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9400 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Resting Jimmy and giving the young spinner a whirl and Foakes in, good stuff. Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, Ollie Robinson, Jack Leach, Mark Wood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21921 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I think the rules of Bazball stipulate that now Foakes has his 50, everyone has to start twatting it about like a T20 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9400 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 well that was rather splendid. Lost in all the batting carnage is the fact we've taken 10 wickets in 9 of the last 10 innings, 6 times on absolute roads in Pakistan. Aussies'll be a whole different kettle of fish, but should be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
