No issue resting Broad in Sri Lanka and bringing him back for West Indies where he is more likely to take wickets
Broad averages 66 in Sri Lanka with the ball
Perfect opportunity to have a look at these quicks before an Ashes year and especially as our away form (and everyone else’s) is dreadful
Anderson on the other hand is in the form of his life, is skilled enough to take wickets abroad and is very likely to retire after the Ashes so keep playing him and let’s see how many wickets he can get - I hope he gets slightly more than Kumble and makes the top 3 with the 2 best bowlers ever.
Can't beleive the tour to Sri Lanka is only a month away. Surely the playets should get more rest than that. No wonder some players "retired" from touring overseas.
That was the series where the umpiring was so bad it helped usher in DRS - if I recall correctly Jayasuriya was given out caught at slip off Caddick from a blatant bump ball and threw his bat and gloves into the stand on his way off.

I think that incident was in a home Test against SL?
The umpiring was absolutely atrocious though yeah. One BC Cooray had a particular shocker. I recall Alec Stewart being given lbw to one that had pitched half a foot outside leg

It's really hard for players playing all 3 forms of the international game, as they'll have a very short break followed by 2 months of cricket.
And with the ODI world cup AND the Ashes next year, both forms are just as important as each other, so it's not as if we can rest Root, Stokes, Buttler, Bairstow etc from the white ball stuff this winter
The same Warner who punched Root for being racist?
I've never heard a whisper about Root being a reacialist. If there was any truth in it Leuth would have built a pyre by now. I'm sticking with my selection.
What has stopped them.dealing with this either immediately after the initial incident or immediately after the verdict? These aren't two local league players they are two of the star players in the white ball game and one of them is a fixture for the test side
It does seem silly I agree but from what I understand they couldn't do anything before legal proceedings had been completed and then they need to find a date when everyone important at the ECB is free for long enough to attended the full tribunal whilst also giving the players enough time to prepare their defence.

Paul Collingwood to retire at the age of 42, what a great and long career he's had
Not sure that's the last we'll see of him though - I can imagine him in the commentary box on SKY or TMS.

Cricket Australia to investigate a claim in Moeen Ali's autobiography that he was racially abused by an Australian player on the field in 2015.
I’m not making anything up, just commenting on what was widely reported at the time and after. I will accept your apology.

And even then, what is the punishment?

If so, then this Dick needs to be put at top of Queue.
