Wow England fielding 2 decent sides for odis and tests

[maniac]

I just saw the England vs Ireland scorecard

 

It had Morgan,Bairstow,Roy,Vince,Willey,Ali,Rashid  thats 7 first X1 level players purely focusing on LOI’s.

 

That is amazing bench strength.

We can easily field 3-4 high quality sides as well but no guts

Not sure about T20 since I don't follow IPL. Others can come up with better players I guess.

Please jinx the poyzz man, a third straight drawn series for them in Eng will  be too much to bear, them winning will be catastrophic. I want angry/frustrated Daaktar Saab.

We shud organize a multination tournament with ireland, bangladesh, sri lanka ,  zimbabwe, afghanistan while our main team is playing overseas. 

We can easily play our bench strength anyways now we have many 1-2 format players. This will help those teams as well financially and playing with quality opponent. Our A team is better then many international sides anyways.

Conflicted. I like Misbah even though I want Pak to get hammered. Need to come up with a middle.ground (don’t forget the dot).

We may field 3-4 sides but quality is another thing. We couldn't even field a proper 11 for the WC.

[Stan AF]

Pakistan doing well in england test series will help India. If not another 120 points straight to their pockets. Already west indies gifted 80 to them even after winning tosses.

[Stan AF]

That said, I completely expect england to win this easily. Glad to be proven wrong.

I guess next WC is in India so we might win even with average ODI players on basis of home advantage.

England are decent in tests. What is so special about winning 2-1 against a west indies side without hetmyer, bravo at home and that too with Holder making two absolutely stupid toss decisions.

Yes they do have a habit of dropping home games.  But they beat SA recently & sweeped SL away.   Lost a hard fought series vs NZ away 1-0..  If not for rain probably 1-1.  They are certainly a team in transition.  Few good young players have come especially in batting.  Hetmeyer is joke in tests btw..  No temperament & a hack.

SA are so bad right now that they got whitewashed by a weak SL side . In fact, the side that England beat was even weaker. I agree they have found some decent players but their recent results include getting beat 2-1 in Windies, a drawn ashes at home, a series loss to nz away and now shelling a test to west indies at home. Unless they become dominant at home and start competing away, it's difficult to rate them

Have to disagree. I don't see much quality in our lineups. Its all a fuss about nothing.
