What’s the BS obsession with football? You don’t see Lionel Messi playing cricket before he rocks up for Barcelona. Stupidity at its finest

or a quick, easy and dynamic way to warm up, this is only the second injury we've suffered in about 10 years playing football as a warm up,

If i recall correctly the other was Bairstow in Sri Lanka which gave Foakes his Debut

it only looks stupid now there has been an injury lets not forget all of the other days where nothing has happened

On the one hand let them play it if they want to, but just because there's mostly no injuries doesn't make it look any less stupid when someone gets hurt.

Burns now a doubt for the game due to a football injury. Sibley also not 100%....

If thats the case i would assume Crawley will open but if both are out god knows who with, Denny??

Only the second injury? Off the top of my head there's been:
Joe Denly
Ian Bell
Matt Prior
James Anderson
Jonny Bairstow
Nearly Ollie Pope yesterday
Rory Burns

Surely that's enough incidents you can make an informed decision to scrap it?

Interesting statement from Faf du Plessis regarding quotas. He said selection is now based on performances and not colour. Hence why Bavuma, their VC has been dropped.

I could only think of the two but of that's the case then it's looking more and more daft!

By far the most dangerous activity in terms of injuries sustained appears to be cricket but I hope there won't be any plans to phase that out.  Injuries are part and parcel of playing professional sport.  Sadly this is shaping up to be one of those ill-fated tours where selection of governed by availability to put out a fit and healthy 11

far as im aware Bairstow when coming back from injury caused by a football warm up then stopped as its not compulsory to play. I think this was when Butler stepped in.

if Bairstow does opt out of the footie has he had to last laugh here?

I've seen people get injured doing short sprints in a warm-up, far worse ideas than a no tackles game of football.

Wasn't football invented to keep cricketers fit?

Cant recall footballers playing cricket to warm up

Blows my mind they take it so seriously, with the obvious threat of injury. As a professional organisation and all that, I find it pretty irresponsible. Even more so when you consider the lack of numbers already due to this bloody sickness bug or whatever it is
