WHO WOULD BE YOUR TOP 5 ??? You have slated ours and as two have done very well indeed i can only assume you mean getting rid of those clowns Cook and Root who have contributed so little for years.
Come on, answer the question. Rather than constantly bemoaning the selections tell us your top 5 please.”
Over several pints too many, when England last had a problem getting a reliable No3 in, my mate suggested we send in a No.3 watchman so No3 would effectively go in at No4.
His argument was you would send in a nightie to protect a proper batsman...so why not send one in at 11.50 to take the shine off the ball a bit more, and he might hang around a bit in any case...
Of all the daft, senseless, pointless, futile and pathetic suggestions I've ever read about cricket.....could be the one that works!! Can't see England doing it, sadly. Cook out first, Finn strides to the wicket.....

Lancashire might have to though, although to be fair we are sending in the tail enders 1 - 6 anyway.
