Re: England V South Africa 1st ODI

Harry Brook when asked what style they want to play - “Go out there and bang it, get as many runs as possible and then look to take wickets”


Earlier in the week he said they don’t have meetings to discuss tactics or the opposition because he hates meetings.

I thought he was awful today but I wouldn’t write him off just yet.

I think he might drop out if the new signing comes in but I was impressed how he grew into the role last season.

Quite a few have complained about it. Cotterill certainly did.
As did Coyle, we managed to get the home fans back in there under him.
We then had to move back out but Dyche wanted home fans in there again. We were let back in for the last two games of his first Premier League season.

Re: England India 5th test

On the Bazball stuff, they’ve clearly reined it in at times this series. Which everyone knew they had to do.

Selection is the main problem now.
We’ve got an opener who averages 30 and a number three who averages about 35.
That’s a big reason why we lose as many as we win.

As for selecting Overton.
