@GeorgeDobell1 @henryjames1973 @TheCricketerMag In which case why not just train/prep at Loughborough where you can replicate any pitch you want, apparently

@thecricketmen Pombear vs McCoy
My money on Pombear

@thecricketmen Rabada

@thecricketmen Too old. England made the right call when they did. Looking like a decent champo bowler currently not test match quality

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@jimb0_12 Edgbaston been so flat recently and Woakes appears to have lost a bit of zip off the deck.

But he works well as a holding bowler around which Carse/Tongue could operate. Maybe.

Agree re Lords

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@thecricketmen Well done champ

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@thecricketmen Well said that man

@CookeeCharlie @thecricketdraft Get the Pope in!

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@GeorgeDobell1 That’s entirely true. It was just so long ago I had forgotten Surrey were 180/3 at one point…
He might’ve got the call up if he won it for them - or at least tried to do something more than avoid defeat.

@jgrundy94 @NoContextCounty Great ball knowledge
Luke Wright another stalwart until ‘22

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@thecricketmen Don’t think cricket does need the limits. Ultimately counties have to decide the value of each player. Every player has a price at the end of the day and this is TKCs & Smrst. I’m still convinced this problem is overblown. 400 pros out there. Reckon this applies to 1-2%

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

That the eventual extinction of the smaller non-international hosting counties would be good for the English game

Which cricket opinion do you have that makes you feel like this?

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@Yas_Wisden @Phil_Wisden @Ben_Wisden Virtually no spin used in Pakistan first test in SA. More in second but still “conventionally” used

[George Roberts @GWR2002]

@Yas_Wisden @Phil_Wisden @Ben_Wisden Yes can we discuss South Africa and spin. First Paarl Royals using only spinners in the SAT20 and now South Africa 19s opening with a spinner and spinners so far taking all the England wickets. why? Pitches? Few batters outside subcontinent being able to play spin well?
