Valuable partnership from Gregory and Carse. 43 off just over 8 overs.
They always used to play an England ‘A‘ team in the warm ups to test tours back in the day, but shorter tours are now needed to allow for more tests.Watching these England vs Pakistan games and how well the 'B' team are doing makes you wonder if the England Lions team should be a permanent fixture for any team that tours England.
Would be a good way to see the up and coming talent plus the best county cricket has to offer (so would work as an advert for the county game as well) and how well they stack up against top international opposition.
I'd like to see them play throughout the country as well in all the grounds that don't get a look in with the main England team. I think they'd become a very popular team to watch outside the few lucky places that get to see the main team on a regular basis.
