@seve_belch@thecricketmen @JamesRedwood32 Wood is always wrapped in cotton wool.
Why pick Stokes if he can’t move.
Bairstow not been the same since injury.
Moeen only plays t20
@Simon_Harmer_@EssexCricket@onedaycup We have still got ours for now.
Let’s hope we don’t see a repeat result otherwise the ponces might come knocking.
@seve_belch @JamesRedwood32 @ChrisWorth1@GeorgeDobell1 It’s professional sport belly….have to put yourself on the line. Sometimes you have to play where you are not comfortable.
But you have to play your best players and Foakes is one of them.
This game would be done and dusted if he was playing.
@seve_belch @JamesRedwood32 @ChrisWorth1@GeorgeDobell1 Open with Stokes (hardly setting the world alight)
open with Pope.
Keep your beloved in the middle order.
@seve_belch @JamesRedwood32 @ChrisWorth1@GeorgeDobell1 I don’t think there is an argument if you play both. You may say you are playing someone out of position. But it would make the TEAM stronger.
@seve_belch @JamesRedwood32 @ChrisWorth1@GeorgeDobell1 He’s also the reason the Australians have a chance of winning. People talking like Foakes can’t bat. He is also a class batsmen.
@seve_belch @JamesRedwood32 @ChrisWorth1@GeorgeDobell1 But you want a part time keeper to do a specialist Job?
The way they want their openers to play there’s no reason a Bairstow or a Stokes couldn’t do what they are asking.
