So Smith's 3 100s in England where a figure of my imagination?  :o

When was that Felix? You mean that big 100 at lords where my Gran would have made a 100 ( and she is no longer with us).. And England threw their wickets away trying to get quick runs? ( that sounds familiar)..

If x, y, z throw their wickets away it's their own fault.


So by that logic because we've been happy to throw wickets away in India, does that mean Kohli should do like wise? Heck no he's battered us black and blue...

Talking of fringe seamers, those knocking at the door etc - has anyone actually seen Sam Curran bowl?

I believe he is a left-armer, and therefore may offer some variety to the attack. He's in the Lions squad, is he any good - could he jump the queue?

here you go Cat - this shows both Sam and Tom bowling....

also Footitt.... what happened to him he did nothing at Surrey this year?

Not sure what you mean Felix... I am not sure that  if England had batted with the same common sense as India had in this series, that we would have won any of the last 3 tests. Infact the way Pujura and Kohli have batted reminds me of how,magnificent Laxman was against the Aussies all those years ago...

My point about Steve Smith in England was that when he made his big 100,  Englands batting display was amongst the worst 5 I have seen in my life time based on standard of opposition and conditions...

Hmm, doesn't look particularly quick, but without it hooping around he seems to bowl a pretty tidy line.

steve smith in England did score big runs, yes 3 tons. didn't help Australia win the series.

he's got stats that say he is a top class player

personally i'd rather watched a mechanic change a tyre on a car that watch him bat.

but that's just IMHO

To be honest I only remember 2 in the test matches. One at "road" that is lords and the other at the Oval... Don't really need to comment on the Oval...😊😊

On a slightly different note not sure this is still the 'Cook' thread I suppose it is, we are on England v India  :)

Vic Marks in the Guardian questioning the selectors choices for this tour and how impartial they can be still associated to their clubs. Tricky one this not sure there is an ideal situation for selectors to choose players

Would they push their own players?  Hmmmmm..... they would know their character better, they would  also want them representing England.....

also if sure Cook will be gone as Captain by July. that's a guess of course only Cook will know. I think it will prove right thou and that's a shame. Root should not automatically be given it, and the team is improving under Cook.

i'm sure others will disagree but he is still scoring runs and leading the team. Not convinced myself Root is the right man anyway.

Root proved he was the right manny bringing himself on, looking the most dangerous England have for 4 overs before cookie returned and out a stop to his pesky shenanigans!!!



That was a joke, we will only know if root is right if or when he takes over. Same with stokes and or buttler.

Personally for test I believe root is the man.
I reckons toles will end up like flintoff/kp and short lived, if he did get the role.
I'm not yet convinced buttler should be in the side yet.

I think Cook may stay as Capt for the tour to Aus the 1st test is Nov 2017 and then step down as the selectors won't want ta new Capt to start off in Aus   also believe  Buttler is  not that  far behind  in the running for The Captainacy.
Also think a few on here could have done a better job picking the squad for this tour than the selectors

I would personally have him and Tom in.the one day squad for champions trophy...
Both excellent bowlers and deserve chance above Jordan, Finn and Woakes. Sams batting has really come on. As shown in recent lions tour, he and Tom can get their heads down and score runs if there has been a collapse..

Neither of the brothers are as good as Woakes..

Not saying there not going to be just not at the minute but that only my opinion...

I watched tom bowl at root and bairstow for a day at headingley earlier this year. On that pitch on that day he didn't bother either of them once.

Different pitch different day could have been a different result. But it's all woakes in India again. The mass won't be happy with wickets at home on green tops. People have to steam through sides on unfamiliar pitches to be rated at all apparently

Woakes is quality for England and has been for quite a while. India aside where very few can say anything.

Woakes is a quality all rounder and I expect him to get better and the improvent he has shown.
