That might be a reason to switch their order depending on circumstances but Curran has batted ahead of Jacks every match

Just checked and they didn’t switch when Bethell was still in against Nepal, so it must be an experience thing.

Guess it might change soon.

Same answer

Well he didn’t ask to be left out. So it must be England intentionally wanting him rested?!

This Tarix bowler looks hard to get away but Jacks just got hold of one for six

 

[discopop]

He’s an infuriating player at times but that’s some fucking knock

 

[waspish]

That is one of if not is his best ever 100 in 20/20!

Out for 100

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it I guess. Jacks seems to be doing well in the role of last serious batsman before the bowers.

I think I heard on TMS the other day it’s also because he’s good vs spin and that position makes him more likely to see more spin at the death.

Should win this now

Nice handshake from Afridi, very sporting. I love the way Pakistan play their cricket very fair and decent, right from when they did the full series quarantined in a hotel at the onset of Covid. Proper blokes, unlike their horrible Indian arrogant counterparts

[waspish]

When you think the games in the bag don’t tell liberties take a one or a two

 

[Dr Jacoby]

England are doing their best to lose this.

[BringBackSwales]

Truth be told the skipper should have seen the job through

 

[dadnlad]
