don't read my posts then. No problems with me The interview tells you plenty actually. The situation with the budget, budget changing cos of Indian Tax Law, Money being spend on STC, ATC plus new facilities at Brockhall, Ewood Park pitch being fully stitched. Wages have been paid as normal, no problems with paying taxes despite the rumours going around which of course he and the club are aware. Venkys sponsoring the shirts for 4m pounds.

Very surprised by the lack of signings at Everton who haven't signed what they were missing for a couple of seasons, some good strikers. West Ham haven't spent money yet, Wolves seem to be in a mess and Palace haven't signed what they need either. Going to be interest last 4 weeks of the window. City to win the league with Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool finishing in 2nd to 4th place.

No surprise tbh as Moyes and new Technical director can't agree on signings and Moyes wants PL experience players but they cost more. Can't believe they haven't spend any money yet.

maybe 12

West Brom are without Maja, Dike and Diangana are unavailable but Sarmiento will travel. Have been announced Pears 1, Tronstad 6, Sigurdsson 7, Ennis 14.

Oh Yes Crawley, England top run scorer in the Ashes and still zero praise or knowledge that you were wrong on him. Quality player that Stokes and McCullum backed every time. well done guys

looking forward to the game and can't wait for the season to start

2-1 Rovers Leonard and Szmodics

Clubs have bid for him . Southampton want 35-40m. He won't be there come end of this transfer window. Still massive changes to happen at these 3 relegation clubs

better listening to podcasts on spofity like not the top 20 and Championship chat. Sky Sports coverage of the EFL should be miles better given their investment into the right of the EFL live football. I am very surprised how slow all 3 relegation clubs have been in the transfer market. I think Southampton will be the best out of those 3 teams. Very impressed by Stoke transfer business aswell this summer.

T20 involves the counties playing in current format with a couple of extra games plus Quarter finals, semi final and final. Plus the 50 over competition would have potential England players in it. Have you never watch England in t20 game? Exactly

Good point there Gav I don't watch it and I would prefer to extend the T20 competition to 16 games for each teams playing each others home and away in 2 divisions of 9 teams. Also allow our players to play in 50 overs competition and also play 2 more test matches and more international T20 and ODI in July and August.

maybe judge that at the end of the window

Fair enough, You make very good argument here. I would take Lawrence and Foakes as my back up players for the Batting. I guess we need another opener in case either opener gets ill or injury. I would keep Anderson and take him to India myself as the bowler who will keep it tight and block an end up Very pleasing to here.

Very good team there Jim. I started watching Cricket from 1996 so here my team based on watching cricket regular from then onwards Cook, Strauss(C), Vaughan, Root, Thorpe, Stewart(wk), Stokes, Swann, Gough, Harmison, Anderson Trott, Bell and Broad very unlucky not to make the team

Firstly, thanks for answering the question. Jennings and Hain? interesting you left Woakes and Anderson at all

Ewood, Can I ask what would your squad be for the tour of India?

Who are Hurst and Aspinwall? Anyone seen them play?

You don't understand what Bazball is and it is no difference to other captains/head coaches in previous regimes saying it. Only difference if everything is Stokes won't slammed someone for playing an atatcking shot and getting out like previous captain 30 years would have done. Thank god the game has move on from that boring 2 runs an over days The series have been great overall watch where England bossed the series and played positive cricket throughout the season. Well, what is worth I have been watching Test Cricket for 28 years now so my opinion is based on that and that the cricket need move on from the past ways of playing. Test cricket is under massive threat from Franchise cricket and unless we modernise and look at ways to attract the next generation to test cricket and keep them enjoying it. I think the way South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and West Indies state of the test cricket is horrible to see and I loved watching England play in South Africa in December and New Year period in a 5 test match series. We will never get to see that again at this rate It wasn't my question actually Jim, so please get your facts correct. Gav also asked you. Clearly you were trying to wind people up on here.

Cos he had enough of playing and was to go out playing his last test in the Ashes and spend more time with his partner and child. You still don't understand what Stokes and McCullum even tho me and several others including Den has explained to you. You were asked more than twice who you would replace Stokes and McCullum with but you choose to ignore the question. what mistakes in selection? I think Stokes will want Anderson in India to give the squad some experience. My squad:- Crawley, Duckett, Pope, Root, Brook, Bairstow, Stokes, Foakes, Lawrence, Jacks, Leach, Ahmed, Anderson, Wood, Tongue, Potts, Stone Pleased you have enjoyed the series

Brilliant win for England. Well done England. Stokes managed this team very well and both teams played their part and Stokes got a response from his own players 2 nil down to come back to 2-2 and if Manchester hadn't been rain off I think we would have won the series 3-2. I don't doubt to be honest. It will be interesting squad selection for India in January I would have picked Crawley. Had a brilliant series
