Pair for Moeen...
That was a dreadful, dreadful shot.0 -
Like his first innings shot was dreadful.Addickted2TheReds said:Pair for Moeen...
That was a dreadful, dreadful shot.
If it was me, i'd drop him, and just play Leach as the sole spinner.2 -
Anyway, more importantly, what's the RRR now?... :-)2

Here you go. Every major nation represented, which arguably cost Root, Pujara and Ashwin their places, but not Stokes. Who'd he replace? If you say Azam...well, that's who Root would replace.
Markram
Karunaratne
Williamson
Kohli
Smith
Azam
Bairstow (wk)
Holder
Cummins
Rabada
Bumrah
If spin is needed, Lyon comes in for Holder0 -
"Where's the spinner?" you ask. Well, there isn't currently a spinner good enough for the World XI imo. Not even Lyon. Actually maybe Lyon. I might edit that0
-
Jadeja?
5th ranked bowler in the world.0 -
Lyon is a far better bowler than Jadeja! Well, not far better, but better enough0
-
Off the top of my head I reckon a world 11 looks like:
Markram
Williamson
Smith
Kohli
Root
Stokes
De Kock
Jadeja
Rabada
Jimmy
Bumrah0 -
Interesting that Markram picked in both.

Another dreadful shot!0

Think he's class - only 24 too.
Big future IMO.0 -
Buttler out but Everton are in front again.0

On a turning/Asian pitch, Yasir Shah is possibly ahead of Lyon as well as Jadeja2

And, by interesting, of course, I mean "ridiculous".
Is Bairstow really the best wicket-keeper batsman in the world, despite not having a place in the England team as a wicket-keeper batsman? The number five batsman in the world team isn't the number five player in his country's Test team, because he's banned, as a cheat. You haven't picked a spinner. You haven't picked James Anderson. And, the most ridiculous omission is that of Shakib Al Hasan, who led his team to a whitewash Test series win over the West Indies last month and would correct your error of not having the best all-rounder you could pick, not having a spinner and forgetting to name a captain.
2/10. Expect better.1 - Sponsored links:
-
Williamson is the captain, obviously0
-
Shakib for Azam is certainly on if there's a spinning pitch0
-
How can that dismissal of Rashid stand? The catcher was standing on the mark where the boundary was. Ridiculous.0
-
My team for next test
Burns
Denly
Bairstow
Root
Buttler
Stokes
Foakes
Curran
Broad
Leach
Anderson
In that order..0 -
You simply have no sense of humour do you?The_President said:1 -
From BBC text commentary:
Roston Chase's figures are the best by West Indies spinner against England in the West Indies. If he takes one more wicket he will have the best figures by a West Indies spinner anywhere.
Chase has taken more wickets in this innings than England spinners combine in the entire match.
Wow.0 -
That was as out as any lbw has ever been without being overturned, haha0
-
Umpire wants Chase to get 80

Fortunately i do. Unlike some people.Riviera said:
