Sam Perry

He bowled three.

It's 17 overs of spin.

Sorry, 16 overs a spin, Joffa Archer and Sam Curran being the only non-spinning options in the innings.

And I just can't see that being the case.

You would think maybe Cepic, for instance, has typically been more of a spinning deck, certainly in the IPL.

I guess it was in the 50-over World Cup a couple of years ago.

That is now three years ago, to be fair.

But we're looking at just big, heavy hitters front-dogging, trying to break the 300 barrier in India.

And we're looking at Guile and Craft in England.

And England make a really good change here with Rhian Allard coming in.

He takes two for 28 off his three overs, but he comes in and scores a couple of important runs as well down the order.

That style of cricket, England have been terrific since they moved to Sri Lanka.

They were less impressive in India.

They lost to the West Indies, almost got done by Nepal.

A decent game of cricket against Italy.

It's very hard to figure out what this means other than it seems like a fucking huge advantage to be able to pick a squad if you're South Africa, India or the West Indies.

Those are the countries that have all stayed in.

in India, for instance, to go to progress in the tournament.

You've seen like what Zimbabwe did in Sri Lanka compared to what they've done so far in India.

It's just, yeah, I mean, England have been fantastic.
