Sir Ian Botham told Sky Sports: “He’s got to start thinking: ‘How do I keep Ben Stokes out of this situation?’ He’s got to be selective.
“The world is his oyster. He can be the best in the world. If that means you can’t go out for a few beers with your buddies, then so be it.”

Ian drawing on personal experience and will power there.

In reply to Bail-out. I got 5/11 due to using existing rules. Oops.

In reply to Mike. Lancs might need him to bowl more next year, now that Kyle Jarvis is returning to the Zimbabwe fold.

Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone has 3-11 including Ashes call-up Foakesy for a golden duck. Previous first-class bowling: 5 wickets @ 106.

Shenanigans.

In reply to Bail-out. All of this debate should be on the squad announcement post that is primed to be published. We're just waiting for the daily email to go out. Has anyone got it yet? It's supposed to go out between 9am and 11am.

In reply to Bail-out. Meanwhile Vince rolls gently over in bed after a passionate night and kisses James Whitaker gently on the neck.

In reply to A P Webster. Rashid must surely regret eating the chairman of selectors' favourite kitten then posting its remains through his letterbox, or whatever terrible thing he is suspected of having done.

In reply to A P Webster. COverton seems the perfect level-headed model of restraint to deal with the gentle banter one might expect in an overseas Ashes series - hope he plays!
