Possibly - but don't let common sense get in the way of having a little fun.

My mistake!

[Manormanic]

It's very relevant - he's clearly outrageously biaised towards his man as all one-eyed Yorkshiremen are.

Au contraire - I'd much rather England ****ed off and left our players alone.  I think you'll find I've referenced actual, y'know, facts to support what is a clearly reasonable opinion...

I would much rather see who ever comes in (if Moeen is every dropped) to be considered a far better spinner than his is a batsman. as with Jimmy getting on a bit, even with a few years left in him. I believe you can coach a batsman out of a bowler rather than a bowler out of a batsman. Everyone has to bat at some point but not everyone bowls there for the bowler will have some batting experience (albiet little).

[Felix Tito]

Adil Rashid is probably the best attacking spinner we've got, but are we really after an attacking spinner? It's no secret the strength of the bowling is seam/swing. Therefore in home conditions we can get away with a dud spinner like Moeen Ali. But if we have serious ambitions of being a long time ranked number 1 side, we need a front line spinner.

Whilst Moeen Ali takes the odd wicket, he seldom earns wickets. More often than not it's batsmen error. Therefore using the laws of diminishing returns, Moeen Ali's 'luck' will eventually run dry...

You is from Yorkshire innit?

Yes, if you think Ali G is from Wensleydale?

Listen and learn. "Thas frum Yorkshur in't tha."

[Woodyspin]

Wasn't Ali G from Langley, Slough?

Pontypridd, just outside Cardiff.

Wait. What was this thread about again?

[ppccopener]

Without wanting to send @Manormanic's Yorkshire tea flying at the screen Adam Lyth should have been persevered with, impossible to predict Compton and Taylor not playing this summer but Alex hales I think will make a good middle order player in gone long term and opener in the short form of the game. I know Lyth got out the same way last summer but hales has holes in technique I can't see him fixing.
Spinner wise I would have rashid in but we are going to Bangladesh and five tests against India in the autumn. Our seamers did well in Dubai and Abu Dhabi it's a big ask for them to do it again on flat dust bowls.

Ali and rasnid maybe for that tour and ansari of Surrey? Not much to choose from is there...
