Foakes glovework for England was far from perfect . Fan boys & girls choose to forget that . Was actually more taken with his batting , which was decent without quite being what teams strive for in Tests . But the second coming of Jack Russell behind the stumps was well wide of the mark . I'd look away from Surrey for England's Test keeper

@GrahamSmyth Some of the comments under here are unreal, Farke is doing a great job, some perspective needed, most promoted clubs in last few years have gone straight back down, we are getting points against Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool etc. Great point today. 👏🏻

FT Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds United
A sucker punch given how long they led, but a big, big point on the road.

@storm16540959 @justnotcrkpod Pushed too early too young, looks a different player and person to me now. Deserves a 2nd chance, and will complement the current attacking players.
English

For the sake of argument, let's just say these are the players locked in for England's next test. Who fills the gaps?
1.
2.
3. Bethell
4. Root
5. Brook
6. Stokes*
7.
8.
9. Archer
10.
11. Tongue
Coach:
We'll react to the responses on the pod tomorrow 🏏

@CallanPatt23482 @justnotcrkpod To me he was stil our best bowler in the ashes, granted he’s falling to bits but still managed all 5 tests, is still a useful lower middle order batter who opposition fear, and is the only leader in the side, we desperately need to find a future captain as it isn’t Brook.
English

@ianbrear @justnotcrkpod What’s the plan with stokes here though? He’s constantly injured so for me he can’t be relied on to be fourth seamer and his batting has fallen off a cliff.
English

@justnotcrkpod Yeah I like Rew at 6 too, him and Hameed compliment the more aggressive players around them. Not sure Stokes pride would let him bat at 8 though!
English

@ianbrear pretty much agree with most of this! Ahmed strengthens the batting with Stokes falling away a bit
English

@Markeyt1991 @CricketopiaCom Maybe watch it, fair play to Nasser he goes in hard on him.
English

@YCCC33 @surreycricket Very probably,there might not have been an expectation that Smith would play in the series &had been with us long term,by today’s overseas standards! don’t know re Sundar,but with Organ turning us over last time & Dawson in their ranks , sounds like a spinner will come in handy!

Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar comes into the squad for the final Rothesay County Championship match of the season.

@thecricketdraft Have they been updated yet? I still have Harmer showing as Captain, not VC, or sub off bench.

@crickshouts Some of the fielders look delighted to win the game like that…..! 🙄

@HollinsSha72477 @CountyChamp If he’s as good a player as his dad was he will do just fine!
English

@CountyChamp Hope benkenstein is a better player than his father is as a coach ( presume it’s his son playing)
English

@thecricketdraft How are subs decided pls? Had Sheikh and Smith at the same value, but ended up with Smith who got less points. It’s only 20 odd so no biggy but wondered how it was decided.

@draftinsight Had a similar issue, who would have thought Gorvin and Weatherall sat on my bench would double and triple the big guns!
English

@WisdenCricket Cook was one of our greatest batters, but not sure it would have mattered with this regime, he wouldn’t have got in!
English

England have won just 3 of their last 15 completed international matches, and Alastair Cook has become the latest to question their training and preparation.

@NathanA_TandA @Bradford_TandA Another pity party Nathan. Would love to know if there is any truth at all in it. Everyone’s to blame but himself, ironically in the week the groundwork was due to start…. Which he hasn’t commented on or the lack of management team!
English

Paul Barthorpe stepping down as #Farsley chairman then it seems, plenty of blame being dished out in the below statement, but I’ll get into the nuts and bolts of it all for the @Bradford_TandA tomorrow 👍🏻
