Re: Beyer and Ramsey
Agree on Beyer. He got away with being a right- footed LCB in the Championship but got found out in the Prem. Playing RCB alongside Steve I think would be a strong pairing in the PL - assuming he is fully fit.

I would play Laurent instead of Hannibal, at least for an hour, but not man to man. Let Hamer get at least a yellow as he's a walking card. Sheff U. would be doing exactly the same to Hannibal, so let's not give them the chance, plus I think we might need the extra physicality Laurent brings and all...

Bumrah is THE greatest bowler in the world today. Unbelievable how he has so few wickets, only 4 so far in this innings. Great Boxing test match btw.
Going to be a tough Summer for England I think. That guy with a Dukes ball in his hand is going to be unplayable.
