Cricket



Great test match. Credit to Stokes, Archer and Carse whose bowling won the game. But looking at the bigger picture, we need to blood some new players in readiness for ashes, irrespective if we win, lose or draw this test series. Bashir will be out of the series with his fracture, but Crawley and Pope’s places should be under threat.
We definately need to freshen up the bowling for OT - that attack looked knackered.

Can't see Archer playing 2 consecutive tests. I'd bring in Atkinson , Cook and Oveton for Woakes Carse and Archer.

Bashir wont play. If OT isn't spinning I'd play Cook instead and be very tempted to give Bethell a go in place of Pope.

Love to find an opener to replace Crawley.

Thought Woakes bowled well tbh. I’ve watched Overton a bit and no chance he’s an upgrade on any of the bowlers out there today.
 

I’m probably going to be the only one to criticise Stokes but thought
  1. He overbowled himself trying to be the match winner- should have come off 3 or 4 overs earlier and had Archer back on
  2. He should have been more proactive in stopping Jadeja farming the strike. Can only recall one instance.
Other than that great cricket and result. Normal afternoon watching the racing with the pops in law went out the window.
And he’s still fuming.
