India in England Aug-Sep 2021 (& July 2022)

Postby bigfluffylemon » Tue Aug 03, 2021 2:49 am

Geez, this is starting tomorrow, looks as if we'd all forgotten with the excitement of the Euros and Olympics (and the hundred, right? Anyone?).

Any takers for a fantasy comp?

Hi. I see ENgland's tour of BD proposed later this year has been put back a couple of years.

Wonder if the current changes will be used as cover to shuffle out inconvenient series.

This will allow England players to participate in the IPL.

I guess England should win this series coming up. They usually do against India. Even though they lost to NZ. That was their first home series defeat for 7 years.

No Stokes of course.

I'm guessing: Burns/Sibley/Crawley/Root/Lawrence/Pope/Buttler/Robinson/Wood/Leach/Anderson.
Haseeb/Bairstow/Curran/Bess/Broad/Overton.

My pick- bring in Curran and Broad for Pope and Robinson.

A bit late in the piece, so I might cancel it if there is minimal interest, but I started a fantasy comp:

Bumrah strikes straight away. Burns not much of stride there, wrapped on middle

England recovering again.

Yet again, no spinner. Dry, hot weather too.

Seen an interesting stat on twitter that Crawley played over 20 false shots in that innings. He really isnt great at defending his wicket

Hadn't spotted Bairstow was back in the side as a batter. He's become the new Ramps. He's always either getting dropped or getting recalled.
