Its the jumper pulled over his arse which always cracks me up. Still reckon Bairstow is the quickest player in the side mind youAddick Addict said:Bairstow is a big, strong lad but he's definitely looking like his carrying a bit. Perhaps it was him (and not Robinson) who refused the skin-fold test prior to the Ashes and accused the management of wanting to "fat shame" him? Shouldn't be a major issue as long as he reaches the fitness levels required which is something that Robinson failed to do on the tour.2 -

They certainly aren't but then we hardly afford the opposition of sides that tour here strong opposition. However, it's as much about acclimatising to the pitches, playing yourself into form and playing against bowlers you haven't seen before - which is the drawback of an internal warm up match. In some respect you don't actually want too good an opposition because a bad defeat would do nothing for the confidence. And we don't have that much of that at present anyway!Gravesend_Addick said:

Australia being mauled with Pakistan currently 179-1. Imam-Ul-Haq is on 92
India are 300-5 against Sri Lanka. Pant is on 82 and has just hit 32 off 8 balls. This is a Test match too!0 -
Pant bowled for 96 off 97 balls. His first 50 came off 75 and final 46 off 22.

Pakistan finish 245-1, so relatively slow going by modern standards.

Ollie Robinson is missing injured for tomorrow's Test. Just as well we have a fit and motivated Jimmy and Broady ready to lead the attack...1

West Indies have recalled opener John Campbell after a year out of the side, and are set to pick left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul in a home Test for the first time since 2015. Shai Hope and Roston Chase were dropped following defeat in Sri Lanka, meaning a reshaped middle order - Shamarh Brooks offers another batting option, though the temptation may be to target England's batting fragility with a five-man attack. Shannon Gabriel was not fit to be picked in the squad but has been training with West Indies in Antigua and could feature later in the series.West Indies (possible) 1 Kraigg Brathwaite (capt), 2 John Campbell, 3 Nkrumah Bonner, 4 Kyle Mayers, 5 Jermaine Blackwood, 6 Jason Holder, 7 Joshua da Silva (wk), 8 Alzarri Joseph, 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Veerasammy Permaul, 11 Jayden SealesEngland have named their 12-man squad already, with Robinson's absence notable following a back spasm in the warm-up. With Jack Leach a probable starter, Woakes already talked up as a new-ball shoo-in, and Wood sure to play if he is fully fit after undergoing blood tests last week, the final place looks like being a tussle between Overton and the uncapped Saqib Mahmood. Mahmood would be the bolder pick, but seeing as he was not in the warm-up frame until Wood's illness, Overton is the likelier man to get his chance, following a brace of appearances against India last summer.England (probable) 1 Alex Lees, 2 Zak Crawley, 3 Joe Root (capt), 4 Dan Lawrence, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Craig Overton, 10 Mark Wood, 11 Jack Leach1 -
First time we've had Stokes, Foakes and Woakes in the side. Looking forward to the day that Coakes, Hoakes, Noakes, Soaks, Vokes, Jokes, Yokes and Pokes also make the team.

Yes it's Lord's, NZ are a good side, and it's the longer holiday for the Queen's 60th, but the prices are still extortionate for a JUNE Test match0 -
