There it is, that good old never-say-die English attitude.

Is Harold Larwood available?

The lad on the right has visited a few Buffet's in his time. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Rumours are that they are just going to reshuffle the top order.

 

Burns

Denley

Root

Roy

And Pope in for Buttler at 6?

Looks like he's been left out of the squad. 

 

Sam Curran is in. Maybe him in for Buttler but at 7?

[mgw100]

Yeah I just saw he hadn't been picked. I find that hard to understand given his form and potential. Buttler has gone into one of his tentative phases. He needs to shit or get off the pot

[sir roger]

Pound to a pinch of shite it will be same team with a top order re-shuffle. 

 

I personally can't see Denly being the answer as an opener as while his technique is reasonable he does not seem to just be basically good enough. Got a 50 in the last test but must have been beaten 20 times.

Fair point. He's got a good temperament, though, and can't do much worse than Roy as an opener. The key question for me is can Roy do a lot better than Denly at 4?

[sir roger]

Yes, I like him and his attitude and he has more of an Test Match opener's temperament than Roy will ever have , but just don't think he has quite the talent and reflexes needed at the top of the game.

I don't watch all that much but just threw the WI and India game on. What the fucks going on with the Indian bowler Bumrahaction, fuck me its weird. 

Having that said he's got the Windies at 15-4. 5 overs, 5 runs, 4 wickets

[Mudface]

Bumrah is fantastic. Strange action, but Christ he can make the ball do what he wants. Great name too.

[Chocoholic]

What's with the wicket having so much grass on it? Practically a meadow in comparison to any test match wicket I've seen the last number of years. No surprise to see they were 22-4 at one stage.

 

Bumrah's action looks very mechanical and stiff, not fluid. Would like to see it in slo-mo and for a spinner summariser analyse it. Well done on the hat-trick.

 

That ODI guy posted above... HAHAHA! Any fielder had better stay out of his way when he's making his runs. If he hits anyone, they're not playing the rest of the match.

Stokes should get over to Midsomer Norton, he'd have a field day there.

Hahaha

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Denly has confirmed that he will be swapping places with Roy and opening the batting with Burns. Seems strange that a player would be allowed to reveal this rather than the Captain. 

[Spy Bee]

Has anybody seen Abi Sakande bowl? There's a little auld fella who goes in my local who reckons he's going to be in the England team next summer.

 

He can bowl at 90mph too.

[Jairzinho]

Some clips on the Sussex youtube page, SB.

Nothing like a bit of Bumrah action.

Ollie Robinson is also looking good for Sussex (my adopted county due to living in Brighton for a few years, and never being able to take to Mancashire due to their M** *td love-in). Sakande and Robinson have a pretty good mentor in Jason Gillespie!

The weather for Wed/Thu/Fri isn't looking great for Manchester.

It looks like there will be play, but it will be limited. The weather rarely shows >50% chance of rain, so we could get lucky and get no rain at all.
