Ben Jones@benjonescricketOct 16
Two years since Jack Leach's last Test, and England aren't close to replacing him. No spinner in the country out-bowls other spinners more than Leach; by the same measure, none are worse than Shoaib Bashir. Was Leach ditched too soon? Read more here: benjonescricket.substack.com…

Someone should ask Marcus North: do you think Bashir, Crane, Ahmed are better at bowling spin than Jack Leach?

Since Jack Leach’s debut, England have played 20 Tests in Asia. He personally has a record of played 16, won 11 and lost 5 (win ratio of 68.75%). England have lost all four of the games that he missed (win ratio of 0%).

Jack Leach had the third best economy rate in Division One this season. His economy rate was just 2.29 across 317.5 overs, taking 36 wickets at an average of 20.22! Class 💫 #YouAreSomerset @WPAinsurance

The funny thing about a high scoring international cricket match is the commentators never turn off the enthusiasm for a 6 or a 4. Boundaries remain U N B E L I E V A B L E even when there’s been too many to count.

In 2014 Nigel Farage went on LBC to complain about hearing foreign languages on trains. James O'Brien: But your wife and kids speak German. That was the first and last time they ever spoke.

Stokes had a much, much more impactful test career than Jadeja. That’s all there is to say.
