We have a problem with Leach vs Bess.

Leach has looked well short of overs but as a SLA he will be a better option against the right handers in the wi team

Bess however looks a much better spinner.

How is it a problem?

If you're looking for a spinner to bowl to left handers/dry things up you'd pick Bess.

If you're looking for a spinner to bowl to right handers/dry things up you'd pick Leach.

Lawrence pushed down the order....

No chance of playing or decision made and no need to see him again?!

From what I've seen this afternoon, the field is out for Leach as they're trying to set a declaration - some horrendously filthy slogs from Woakes and Pope that wouldn't look out of place in any village game. Not sure what the guy can do when there's no-one inside the 30 yd circle and the batsmen are trying to hit every one of your deliveries to the moon.

Please don't let a breezy 39 be enough to warrant a recall...

Can anyone actually tell me, or suggest a possible reason why Foakes isnt 1st choice WK. I really really really really dont understand it

Me either.  I could understand if the powers that be deemed Bairstow their number one, just about, though it relies upon a certain amount of "well, he's done it before..." and tbh the idea of telling him to go back to Yorkshire and murder some county attacks has some credibility, but Buttler has not scored meaningful test runs, and is actually a pretty bad gloveman nowadays.

Butler is a very special player and England I reckon are giving him some extra time to do well, a few mores games rather than less as Bayliss used to say. He was also VC until recently so has been well ingrained into the team.

The England side is changing thou, with Sibley,Burns,Crawley and Bess coming thru-the team is starting to be built a bit.
I expect Denly(big fan of his) to make way soon for Crawley to bat 3.

I think Foakes will come into the team and stay there for a long while maybe as soon as the Pakistan series. He's on his own as a keeper and a good bat with a FC record behind him.

Recent years has always been a keeper batsman but my money is on a proper keeper soon. The fact Foakes is a very good bat rather than a Bairstow(recent years) or Butler(lean period for 12 months) helps.

I also think the spinner will be a batter too-Bess or Ali- so that could cover Foakes although there's no need with Bairstow or Butlers record.

Been wrong before thou.  :)

If Woakes becomes a more regular part of the pace attack then that strengthens the batting too.

Leach one of 9 reserves

Ali misses out completely

Typical english start!

hopefully Sibley will learn from that, not a good leave early on

Burns was pretty lucky doing exactly the same, if it hadn't clipped the pad.
