Mahmood

didn't see a price but I'd guess he was bit shorter just because of England's batting frailties and propensity to be bowled out for under a hundred in recent years...meaning something like 18-21   always has a chance...would still think 250/1 though maybe a bit more in places...

first time numbers 10 and 11 have been England's 1st and 2nd top scorers in a test match since the late 1800's they quoted in comms...

I think Mahmoud has the potential to be a Test bowler fir England in the near term. Could form a good partnership with Jeffrey Archer. Woakes just does not have it or rather does not get it.
