Well, he's unlikely to get a batting spot, and his bowling included far too many full bungers for a finger spinner.  Moeen will, however fortunately, keep his spot I reckon.

So they will opt for the guy scoring less runs and going for more runs for no more wickets.. Interesting theory selectors

[roco]

why cant they just pick whoever is the best spinner?

we went through this crap in the 90's for those who remember. Picking bits and pieces cricketers because he could bat a bit or bowl a bit

decide who the best spinner is and pick him

toss up between ali and Rashid for me but id prob give Rashid a run to see what he can do as ali has had a run but does not seem to be getting better

@Manormanic Sussex is a fair point, realised after id posted that they got relgated.Jordan can bowl some decent place. Do they still have Shahzad? Had forgotten about Penrhyn Jones, possibly because although he's got a yard of pace he looked absolutely dire against glos last game of the season, tailenders smashing him everywhere.

Ohballs. Well bowled Yasir. Burnley Lara to the rescue,

Stokes has his pads on!!! Quick smash at 11 coming up.

Time for some good old fashioned bottom hand batting then. Most likely Broad will throw the bat and Stokes block?

Stokes coming from up north where they where t-shirts in December on a night out to start putting it into the stands

 
anyone old enough(!) may remember Marshall getting a 50 against us literally with one hand.His wrist had a plastercast on it...

Stokes doing my hometown proud, they breed us tough up here boys!

[edge]

Stokes is clearly spewing already, him bowling at Wahab next summer should be good fun

[roco]

I remember the marshall one as he got 5 wickets afterwards didn't he?

cant remember him getting 50 though but memory may be going

good tough northerner

[FattusCattus]

I don't think he got a 50 Carlo - but I think he did hit a 4.

[ppccopener]

hmmm, memory is fading a bit Cat but if I remember he cleaned us up bowling and then hit a 50 and literally could only use one arm

Stokesy wearing it for us, you got to admire this bloke

a few in the memory banks for next summer with Wahab if he keeps up with the short stuff
