Jomel Warrican worships at cricket’s most unfashionable altar – remember the name | Jonathan Liew Why am I writing about the fifth most famous spinner from the West Indies? Because it matters for Test cricket

one of the joys of having a column is the ability to say "actually, this story needs to be told and I don't give a shit if nobody else gives a shit". with that in mind, here's a column on jomel warrican, the west indies' fifth-most famous spin bowler

After two Tests of Jacob Bethell, think we’ve been asking the wrong question.

Not β€œwhy have England picked a bloke at 3 who has never batted in the top order for his county?” but β€œwhy has this bloke never batted in the top order for his county?”

i'm with you, and we've been here before with their left field picks, nearly all of them have worked out, if I was Pope i'd be concerned... nothing seems to have fazed Bethell so far

i'm a biased bear but i think he does well, did well being thrown into both white ball sides, plus how many times have we had similar convo's about Stokes/McCullum picks and they have broadly worked out well

yea i wish they’d have let Jordan lead as he’s more knowledgeable, don’t often see him so silent in those interviews, but yea clickbait rules the world
