Just watched the highlights. Jennings looks so natural in short! Goes with the shots but manages to keep his eyes on the ball - brilliant
Rory Burns will be absolutely chuffed Jennings has made that spot his own
Interesting stats looking at this series. So far.
Lots still believe rashid hasn’t bowled well this series. Root doesn’t trust him blah blah.
Leach has 14 at 22.3
Ali has 14 at 24
Rashid 12 at 22.08.
Rashid has actually bowled 34 overs less than leach This series.
And with the better strike rate of the 3(rash 40. Ali 42, leach 48). He could have had a lot more had root given him a bigger part to play.
Or are we still as a forum saying Rashid isn’t good enough? And all 3 spinners haven’t really done that well(remember an avg under 30 is meant to be world class and all 3 spinners are in an away series here.......)
Are you telling me that we don't need 5 seamers in Asia? I'm not convinced
Happy for Rashid and another feather in the cap of Ed Smith.
Interesting how we used to pigeon-hole successful Test players into the one day sides - Cook, Trott etc. Now we are taking very successful limited overs players - Butler, Rashid - who have proved themselves in pressure situations in big matches and asking them to adapt their skill set for the longer format. Roy is obviously one they want to try next with his inclusion in the Lions Red ball matches.
