But Pope will never keep for England. If Pope plays for England it will be as a batsman, so surely it makes sense to let him concentrate on thatcantersaddick said:
Or it's a lions tour and is about giving young players a chance to show what they can do.killerandflash said:Rubbish batting performance, only lasting 22 overs. According to the scorecard Pope kept wicket as Davies was presumably rested. Bit weird to have a part time keeper keeping instead of Billings, who's perfectly capably of captaining and keeping wicket.
They already know what Billings can do behind the stumps. Let's see what Pope is about.1 -

But the Lions are struggling at the moment - getting a few results on the board may breed confidence and help other players show their talents ... Billings should keep IMO.0 -
I actually agree but am not too bothered either way.
Pope is a good 6 or 7 years younger than the Buttler/Bairstow/Foakes/Billings cohort of keepers so I wouldn't be surprised to see him with the gloves for England a few years down the line as they all come to the end of their careers. Especially in one day cricket.1 -
I agree, whats to stop Pope keeping for England somewhere down the line , apart from the fact he has Foakes in his way at Surrey !cantersaddick said:I actually agree but am not too bothered either way.

Any news re team selection?0
-
Nothing official until toss, apparently the captain and management simply cannot read the strip and don't know whether to go with 4 spinners, 6 quicks or 5 wicket keepers!
Bairstow to bat 3 is the only thing I have heard.0 -
I don't think Foakes will play for Surrey in the second half of the summer...The_President said:

India A win with 5 balls to spare, a better effort by England A
Good tour for Billings with the bat, 108no in this match. I imagine playing IPL has helped him0 -
Probably not good a tour for Kent though !killerandflash said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO45526

Both sides seem to view the wicket completely different.Pelling1993 said:

We shall see who has called it right soon enough.0 -

Curran ahead of Broad is a brave call. If the wicket doesn't spin, then Curran will have to do a lot of bowling with the old ball0

Yeah exactly the same as me! Was really annoyed at 1 I missed but the other 3 I would’ve been there all day and not got them!JohnBoyUK said:

I also got 12 and suspect I missed the same 4, certainly the same 3 obscure ones!Pelling1993 said:

As Nasser has just intimated, when was the last time we could choose to leave out players of the quality of Broad, Leach and Woakes?
Shows how strong our bowling is - in the right conditions. Our top order batting remains questionable whatever the circumstances.1 -
Curran's gone for 14 in his first 2 overs :-(0

Burns, Jennings, Bairstow, Root (c), Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Foakes (wk), Curran, Rashid, AndersonThe_President said:So, whats the team?!

Thanks Callum0

If you had read the Surrey thread KAF,which i know you have been partial to frequent, then you would have been given at least 2 of the obscure ones.killerandflash said:

This is probably what Cook said recently in that Foakes now changes the dynamic of the team, whereby they cant now pack the teams with all-rounders and have 6 bowlers.0

I am watching it now. Missed the start as waiting for a vacum cleaner to be delivered... Is that a black armband Anderson is wearing and who is that in ttibute to?0
