And 15 off his second - including a wicket, a free hit, 5 runs and a few other balls too.

What the eff do they see in him?

Callumcafc

You've got have one bowler in team chucking pies so the batsmen all focus on getting runs against him and forget about batting against the other bowlers. At least that's the best explanation I can offer................

Think they just want to get on the plane home.

England win by 28 runs.

Rashid was our best bowler, but I thought Jordan bowled well picking up 3 wickets.

Rashid just needed time to mature as a spinner. There aren't many (and certainly not English spinners) who establish themselves 'til their mid to late 20s. Disappointment is that he was so readily discarded for Tests as he now has more control to match the variations he has always possessed - and by that I don't mean his long hops and full tosses!

To an extent it's Rashid himself who'd removed himself from Tests, not playing red ball cricket for Yorkshire at all this season shows this.

No, Trevor Bayliss ruined his Test career by not picking him since 2016.

Weird scheduling, we play T20s next week against India on Tuesday and Friday, when Wednesday and Thursday are both football free days when cricket could get much more of an audience and interest.
Indeed the Tuesday match clashes directly against the England Columbia game
