Who knows on Leach. They say 10 days to recover from concussion and he’ll be on about day 8. It didn’t look that serious when it happened.
Whether he plays it not doesn’t resolve our big tail. Not sure how we can change that unless we don’t play a spinner or swap a fast bowler, which seem unlikely.
Parkinson looked ok, without being very threatening. Is that because of the pitch? Guess we find out if he’s picked again.
He needs more variation in pace for me. He seemed quite one dimensional.
Personally I would tell Parkinson that he will be in the next 2 test matches but ecb the powers that be won’t they have thing about leg spinners never get a fair crack. Why Leach gets the backing he does I don’t know!? It’s annoying even Husain saying Leach should come back in the side for fcuks sake don’t they see what we see leach can be get at smashed he brings fuck all to the team a leg spinner given the full backing confidence of everyone will make a difference.
