Boro website Gibson sacked him and media reports suggest Pulis to come in

Gav here are Broad's stats for each year and this year record isnt good enough. http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/PlayerProgressBowl.asp?PlayerId=3434&Year=2017 I have listened to an interview by Alec Stewart who said Tom Curran should come into the team. Glenn McGrath said yesterday Broad should be drop. He is one of the greatest fast bowler ever. Gav, like Ive said previously Ali isnt good enough to be England 1st choice spinner in overseas conditions. Doesnt spin it enough. Ali is a Batsman first spinner second.

Broad pace isnt fast enough to make him effective on Aussies wickets. Ali isnt good enough to be England 1st choice spinner overseas.

We dont have the fast bowlers to complete in Australia. Broad, Root and Cook havent performed because the Aussies bowlers are quicker and quality. Broad pace is down and isnt he was 2 years ago. Woakes hasnt played in Oz before. Do we need to drop some players? Yes I would be dropping Broad and Ali at least. Bringing in Curran and Crane. Our newer Batsmans have performed. Malan look good, Stoneman and Vince have tough it out in hard testing conditions which is why it called Test cricket. Cook looks not the player he once was. Has his time come to a end? Root hasnt got hundreds when he got in. Which is disappointing but still averaging 50+ as captain. David Lloyd yesterday name some fast bowlers with pace who England some be looking to bring in the future. Here the list:- Tom Helm , Olly Stone, George Garton, Josh Tongue ... and an older one , Ric Gleeson. Does anyone know alot about these? I would like to see an overhaul of the selectors with ex players like David Lloyd and Mike Atherton who see alot of county cricket on the selectors committee. Sure other people will have other ideas.

Hameed need to come into the squad for New Zealand test series in place of Ballance who is not good enough for Test Cricket. @Baz I agree that Aussies have better players but their key players like Smith, Starc, Lyon, Cummins and Hazelwood have performed whilst our key players Root, Anderson, Broad and Cook haven't. Malan and Bairstow batted very good in the 1st innings and Vince played well in the second innings until the great ball from Starc. Vince has the game to be a success at test level but need to stop getting out to silly shots outside his off stump If we do lose this test and the ashes then we hopefully will see Tom Curran, Mason Crane and Ben Foakes will come into the test side for last 2 matches. I wouldn't be bringing in Ballance tho. Will Stokes be back for the New Zealand test series? we need back or see if they is another all rounder out there who can take his place.

I expect changes after this ashes series by Bayliss, Root and Strauss. Think selectors will be change and any players who drink alot will be gone. I dont know who these players are but after Bayliss comments he fed up with it

Well until Counties realised that their main job is to produce international quality players. Would like to see Tom Curran given a chance in the test team. Also Crane for Ali aswell if Stokes comes back in test. Pitches quality need to be improved quickly. Thanks for link. Can see Board being drop shortly. Not produce in 3 test in Australia. Look like 2 yards of his natural pace.

Great ball by Starc to Vince. Nothing he could have done. Vince was playing well and done well to get past fifty.

How anyone seen Tom Curran bowl? If so what type of fast bowler is he?

Well its time English counties and groundmans started preparing quality pitches where we are going to develop quality fast bowlers and spinners instead of these seamers friendly pitches.. When bowlers like Darren Stevens are 60 plus wickets its isnt going to produce international quality bowlers Wish we had a Darren Gough or Simon Jones now.. I want to win test series in Australia, India and Sri Lanka.

Only been impressed with Overton bowling. Woakes bowled too short and Anderson or Board arent suited to conditions in Australia. Far too slow. But we lack the quality fast bowling in County Championship. Only Wood and Plunkett can bowl at 90 + mph. Or the lack of quality all rounders in aswell. Why Crane hasnt play yet?

Tomlinson Hardcastle Travis Maybr Rankin Costello.or Platt or Jack Doyle

be looking to sell him

Travis could be the answer tbh Caddis is decent but makes mistakes. No better than Nyambe

.

Very good win today. 5 games won in a row. Mowbray has them playing and full confidence. Dack is the best player on the attacking side. Mulgrew is our leader and our top scorer. According to 2 fans at the game that Tomlinson was good and Whittingham was far too slow in possesion and not helping Dack.

We are currently second in the league. Tony Mowbray's Blue and White Army!!!

TEAM NEWS | #Rovers make two changes from the last league game Raya Nyambe Downing Mulgrew Williams Smallwood Whittingham CONWAY Dack Antonsson SAMUEL

Gav, my score prediction is 3-1 Rovers win

Same team apart from Whittingham in for Evans. Tomlinson might be on bench with Harper not available

Much better bowling and batting by England. Malan look good and played sensible. Root inning was good. Need him to get a big score now

I rather watch most sports than normal daytime tv. Watch alot of boxsets on sky tv aswell I dont disagree with the county cricket on tv but it can be boring at times. Which might put people off. If test cricket was on normal tv for one test surely it would be best if it was during the 6 weeks holiday for kids. Get kids involved then. The ECB didnt do enough to get kids and adults more involved after 2005. But I fell out of favour with my local club in 2004 as the club wasnt run correctly and certain people kids got special treatment cos they were on the board or gave money to the club. Alot of clubs are run this way. Sad but trie

Ticket prices are out of control and the ECB need to drop the prices.. A hour highlights is enough for me when I used to work days and some of time listen to the radio 5 live coverage aswell. Cos I couldnt spend all night watching 2 or 3 hours highlights. Working nights will allow me to watch some of the day play. I can watch a hour highlights on my phone when on dinner. Would county cricket be popular to watch? I barely watch 20twenty cricket as I actually prefer test cricket myself

Decent record. Organised the team and that what Hull City need is a manager/head coach to organise them properly. Adkins the clear favourite tho. Kept them up didnt he? Wasnt it Coyle who took them down?

Some poor batting today by Cook, Vince, Root, Ali. All could have played better shots. @Mattyblue I have no problems with Cricket being on Sky as their coverage is first class and some great commentators. But during our summer of cricket there is highlights on channel 5. But this ashes series is on bt sport who bought the Austrailia cricket rights for the UK a couple of years ago and I believe double what Sky was paying for them. Crazy cos they probably arent getting enough viewers to funds these deals. There is highlights on their website available for free but Nothing on tv. Which is unacceptable and I dont see they cant show free highlights on bt showcase on freeview and sky so every cricket fan can see some cricket for free. I work nights so I listen to the cricket coverage on radio 5 live extra which is decent but not like watching it on tv. But I not going to 26 pounds extra a month to watch it. I wont pay it for the football coverage so wont for cricket. I spent over 100 pounds for sky and everything they offered. Very good quality in my opinion and family opinion
