He couldn't do any worse than Roy and that would make space for the fifth seamer. I'd like to see Leach as a night-watchman. Perhaps he saves his batting for tests? Thought it was silly for YJB to slog himself out in the first innings when Leach was still there on six.

    Maybe not being a slogger, and therefore unlikely to get an IPL contract, he's an old fashioned no.11 spinner who just works in the nets on just playing the forward defensive and the leave. I miss those.

    Pity we can't fit young Sam Curran in. Denly?

    Burns
    Leach
    S Curran
    Root
    Stokes.
    YJB
    Other JB
    Woakes
    Archer
    Broad
    Jimmy.
    Do you ever do terse?

    No offense, like, but I don't read your posts any more. Sorry.

    He's also suggesting we open with Leach, ffs. The Curran thing is only his second most barkingly mad suggestion.

    It's on the grounds that if both Leach and Curran get ducks batting at 2 and 3, they'll probably only score ten less runs combined than Roy and Denly would have done, yet both of them can bowl.

    Basically, those ten runs are neither here nor there if they can face as many balls. It's no more barking mad than Boycs saying his nan could have done better than Roy with a stick of rhubarb. I just reckon Curran and Leach offer a bit more in the bowling dept than Boycott's dead nan.

    Our lack of a top 3 is down to the IPL and associated T20 leagues and, as such, is our bad karma for the Amritsar massacre and the 1877-8 famine.

    Still, I reckon young Jofra looks like the Goddess Kali to the Convicts so that must be our good karma for being the first country to say no fellow human being can be enslaved.

    So it's swings and roundabouts on the imperial theology front.
