different format
we do not have a top 3 in test match cricket
Burns and Denly not good enough
Roy is excellent but don't fancy him against a moving dukes ball in the Ashes. He is a superb flat track bully
stats
Since Strauss retired, only two england openers have test match averages of over 35. 18 England openers tried. they are Cook (retired) and Root (who isn't going to open)
In 40% of england test first innings since 2017 we have been 100-4 or worse. the middle order is mostly great and bails us out
but we need numbers 1,2,3
Sibley and Zak Crawley probably next cabs off the rank

prices this morning were 4/5 England 15/8 Australia
think its closer than that, but both bowling attacks better than both batting sides
don't seemany draws, weather permitting!

stat.
After 1938, England went 78 years without losing all 10 wickets in a single session. They have now lost 10 in a session 4 times in 3 years.

That's a great stat, if pressed I would have guessed it had never happened but i don't follow the game very closely these days. |

Ireland may have missed a trick in not claiming the extra half-hour.

Jack Leach now has the highest Test average by an England opener since Andrew Strauss retired.
MJ Leach — 43.00
AN Cook — 42.52
(sample size of 1)

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

5?
stat
Jack Leach is just the second player to bat at number 11 and open the batting on the same day in Test cricket. Harry Butt was the other for England against South Africa at Port Elizabeth on 13 February 1896.

batting is a game wide problem by the way
stat
Wickets are falling every 50.7 deliveries in Test cricket this year. That is the lowest balls per wicket in a calendar year in Test history where balls faced have been recorded.
(impact of one day game on technique? duke balls with enhanced seams? drainage making more play on used pitches possible? etc etc)
