Curran is poor mind. I think I’d rather have Saqib Mahmood when Curran is bowling like this and batting at 8.
I cannot believe James Anderson is at the point where he has a realistic chance at catching Shane Warne's wicket total. That's ridiculous. Or at least it should be.
Brief story from yesterday...during tea at the cricket ex Yorkshire and England bowler Ruan Sidebottom was introduced to us all in the suite, approx 250 people. The compere, who iirc was the YCCC chairman asked if anyone had any questions for Ryan. I shot my hand up.and the microphone was brought over to me...the roon fell silent as I said " Ryan , did you prefer Danni or Kylie Minogue?!" Microphone was snatched out of my hand and dirty looks ensued. Later I bumped into Ryan and apologised he was fine and said "both of them!" This was me on Fridau
What's the craic there then? Was Ryan having it away with one of them? in other news, quiet happy to see Buttler bowing out for the next test, but more importantly it's good to see Woakes and Wood back in the squad. You'd assume Curran's place is under a major threat.... Burns, Hameed, Malan, Root (c), Bairstow (w). Pope, Moeen, Woakes, Overton, Robinson, Anderson Possibly Wood in ahead of Woakes? Can't see them dropping Overton after 1 test
