Jennings, genuine allrounder.........

If it wasn't for a dropped catch I think he can count himself lucky to be still in the team....

He does look good with the ball though

I put that earlier. A 0,0,1 start would have been on Apr with nic Maddison's career. Not a nice place to be.

He looks okay once in, hope Maddison gets the chance to get in to and show what he's got.



As for his bowling, he reminds me of trott, just runs up and wobbles it mid 70s. Ashwin a few times hasn't looked like he's comfortable with it.

I'm sure kohli etc would just slap him about though.

[Number4]

Does he hold his spot when Hameed is back though?

Bats 3 for me with Cook and Hameed 1 and 2, Root back to 4.

Opening. No!!

I think he does with Ali going down the order and Hameed back to open and jennings in at 3.

Get rid of Butler. Doubt he will do well in English conditions at number 6

200 up for Nair...good knock. Then again it's a flat pitch. Kohli and pujara must be kicking themselves

Buttler won't bat 6. Stokes insists on that spot.



But even in English conditions. There may be a spot for buttler at 8(bats will go mad)


Cook
Hameed
Jennings
Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Ali

Ball
Broad
Anderson.


Leaves number 8 to be filled by 2nd spinner/5th seamer/ no8 specialist batsmen.

Rashid/woakes/buttler.


Personally don't see Rashid or woakes getting the ball much as a 6th bowlers. So why not bittler

Kohli, pujara, root, bairstow....... pretty much any batsman. But I'd still say Rahul is kicking himself the most!

Think Boycott has his pads on somewhere waiting to bat on here

Boycott's nan too with her stick of rhubarb

[csnew]

Think cook's lost the plot taking the new ball with 2 batsmen looking for quick runs. Yet last match he waited 134 overs to take it

[csnew]

and now we have a backstop...The wheels have fallen off!

[smilley792]

Root looks to be getting frustrated at cooks captaincy here!!


Reckon he wants the job sooner rather than later.

But seriously has an international side ever had a backstop before?
