TROSaracen Aug 2021 9:06am, 4 Aug 2021 23,669 posts	0 TROSaracen Word is we're 'sticking with Burns/Sibbo/Zak'. So that's Hameed parachuted in as the saviour for the 3rd test when we're 2 down...

rf_fozzy Aug 2021 9:55am, 4 Aug 2021 15,013 posts	0 rf_fozzy I can see them taking 13 or perhaps 14, but what's the point of taking 17? (other than there's no county cricket in the height of the summer due to the nonsense of the bloody short T20 nonsense). They should know already Bess and Leach both aren't going to play. And in reality, neither are going to play. Neither is Hameed. And I'd guess Bairstow won't play either.
Oscar the Grouch Aug 2021 9:57am, 4 Aug 2021 3,347 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch I'm going to make TRO look optimistic, here... but I can't see anything but an India win. How can any of our batsmen be in any kind of groove? They haven't played any first class cricket. 3-0 India. Rain affects others.
