England's Summer of Cricket against Sri Lanka and India

[destinydude]

Moeen averages 30 odd in first class cricket. No thanks!

My team would look something like this:

Cook
Root
Trott
Bell
Ballance
Stokes
Buttler
Broad
Some spinner
Anderson
Finn

Surely you'll take at least 2 spinners to the sub continent and SL. Surely?

They are coming to England

Trott got 4 in his return innings in a friendly for Warwickshire. One wonders how he will cope if he gets another couple of low scores.

[destinydude]

They are coming to England

Woop. I see

I predict a whitewash win for you lot in the Tests then

[Jas]

Got my ticket for the Friday at Lords for the India test match. For the world no 1 test team at the time India were absolutely awful last time they were here, let's hope they put on a better show this time round!!

[captainfog]

Hundred for Prior
Another failure (8) for Trott

[Chazza]

And 6 wickets for Finn.

[Shaggy]

Ton for Sam Robson. Looks a certainty to open with Cook.

[Chazza]

Cook and Bell both hit tons as well.

Trott however made just 26.

[captainfog]

Another five wicket haul for Finn. Get him in the side.

[Chazza]

Yeah got to get him back in.

The interviews are taking place for the new head coach of the England team replacing Andy Flower. It is understood that the candidates are one day coach Ashley Giles, Peter Moores the Lancashire coach who has already had one spell doing the job with England, the Sussex coach Mark Robinson, Nottinghamshire coach Mike Newell and the Australian Trevor Bayliss who has previously been in charge of Sri Lanka.

[Shaggy]

****ing hell.

Giles - **** off
Moores - someone's having a laugh
Robinson - no idea
Newell - please God no
Bayliss - no idea

Finn still tearing it up for Middlesex. Selectors must feel a bit silly. Robson made 160 odd.

[RichC]

My god

Moores being on that list says it all really FFS

[Chazza]

What a progressive and exciting list
