Bashir over Ahmed for the first Test.

 

Hmmmm...

They just don't wait Ahmed do they?

Not sure about Baker either imo, he's not economical enough for test cricket. A little too soon for him, I can see him and Bash going for big runs.

Bashir's played six Championship games and has improved now he actually gets backed to bowl at Derbyshire.

 

Rehan should have been playing for Leicestershire and has been benchwarming at the IPL instead. Hard to be surprised with which spinner they think is the sounder choice.

Fair points well made. 

 

I guess we'll see what happens.

I just cannot get my head around the fact project Bashir is not project Rehan. For a start, leg spinners are few and far between and decent ones are worth their weight. Secondly, Bashir is a pure number 11 where as Rehan is not only a fine spinner but a top order batter, so 2 for the price of 1. If the same amount of effort was spent on integrating Rehan as they have Bashir, we would be better off. He can still improve but can also play all formats which Bashir cannot. It's a no brainer for me. They should be trying to have as many crossover players as possible. Brook, Duckett, Jamie Smith, Bethell, Carse, Archer, Rehan can all play test, ODI and t20 and it's the best way forward.

Frustrating as anything from a Leicestershire point of view. Unavailable when we need him and its not even in cause of him making the Test side!

Last place seems to be down to either  Sonny Baker or Gus Atkinson .

 

Bound to rain anyway after all this hot weather !

Forecast is mainly awful apart from Friday, going to be a lot of stop start cricket and surprised if there's any result. Such a shame after April and May has been largely dry.

Not sure about that.Don't forget England test matches rarely go beyond 3 days.
