Ben Foakes has not been included in the 14-player England squad for the fourth mens Ashes Test at Old Trafford; England kept the Ashes alive with a three-wicket win at Headingley; watch fourth Test from Old Trafford, live on Sky Sports Cricket from July 19
England seems like a mates club now. Foakes’ face doesn’t fit, or he’s pissed them off somehow…. Presumably by not playing golf.
Shame on him. Golf is fun. But yeah, he’s the best keeper and I think YJB would bat better without the gloves. Who would you drop?
Stokes not being able to bowl makes it tricky; so probably be a straight swap Bairstow for Foakes
I’d take out Crawley. Partially because I think YJB is better, but mostly because I don’t like his face.
Ha, I’m surprise how well Crawley has done. Although he’s usually woeful so it doesn’t take much.
That’s a good shout though, Crawley for Bairstow.
