Westley dropped....or may be not...
« on: July 31, 2017, 09:17:07 PM »
ECB just published a squad for the Fourth test without Westley in it. Essex and Sky saying he has retained his place. But the ECB headlines does say only one change, Finn in for Wood,  so guess it's a screw up on their part..

couldn't organise a press release in a brewery. Hope Tom doesn't get his news from Facebook

Rumours are Malan dropped. Easy mistake, obviously dropping 'the new boy'.

Malan's technique or lack of it was cruelly exposed by SA, good 1 day player perhaps not quite good enough for Tests.

Malan "can play" though according to the great KP unlike Cook who "struggles to get it off the square".

Should have played Ben Foakes instead of Malan at the Oval, and Bairstow just has a batsman.

Well if The Ego says that then it must be true!!!
If The Ego cares about England now (doubt it) Ally's long first innings had much to do with England's win, at least Ally plays for the team & not the Gallery.

Don't give scum the oxygen of publicity. KP is a top flight Kant.
