With the slope that twists as well as a poor pitch it is unplayable, batsman are limited to a walk on/walk off part.

The next test is at the Oval and Surrey rarely play spinners at that ground so be interested to see if Bashir gets a game having not bowled one over

Makes a nice change from seeing bowlers getting flayed all over the place.

I recall Phil Tufnell bowling the Aussies out for 120 at the Oval.
I would have thought a batting surface taking spin later is what we are accustomed to from the oval but then times change.

Bashir reminds me of the Fire Brigade you don't always need him but when you do he is essential.

Brook should have been sent home from New Zealand, so I'd be looking to chuck these two out if it's a similar occurance and they haven't learnt anythingEngland's Ben Stokes & Gus Atkinson investigated over nightclub incident

I think it highly likely that Stokes will lose the captaincy to Brook Stokes has form and has been given a few chances. I think deep down he is trying to be Ian Botham.

Stay in smoking Bob Hope?
the only think Stokes has failed to do is suggest Pakistan as a holiday destination for the mother-in -law.

Joe Root does not have the aptitude for captaincy, not withstanding his ability with a bat, I'd rather Olly Robinson who has been captain for Sussex.

Root has got the gig though.
