How is Cook most overrated batsmen ever Jesus some people are ****ing thick.

No regrets. Piss off Cook. And you too Bell.

It's Ballance and Root time

wtf, you want to watch ballance over bell?

Yep. Have a thing for crabby left handers who bat in the top order (**** Chanderpaul)

Edit: I don't really like Ballance and Root aesthetically though obviously, but like them as batsmen more at the moment.

Root when he's really going for it has a very broad range of shots, can be a lot of fun to watch. Not a pretty batsman otherwise though, yeah.

Ballance... I think I've made my views known

 

[Uppercut]

Wide of off-stump from around the wicket? What's up with this plan?

 

[Spark]

They really like around the wicket to Ballance. Apparently they think he falls over a bit and will chip one to midwicket. Myself, I still think you're better off angling across and getting him driving, but y'know...

 

[Uppercut]

He's hardly going to chip one to midwicket from this line, though.

Yeah I agree (hence my rants on comms) but apparently that's the rationale

Wasn't he supposed to break all records for most runs, most centuries, most cover drives, most historically-ignorant speeches and end up with something like 20,000 test runs till about 2 years ago?

Yes, some people are really so thick that I can't imagine.

Do you actually have a point here?

 

[WalkingWicket]

I've got a feeling we'll see this pair bat for a quite a while in the future. Look good at the crease together; complement each other well.

Can't comprehend?

 

[Tangles]

What's this about historically ignorant speeches?

I suppose the ****ing short arsed numpty who holds those records never went through a bad patch either did he. He certainly didn't suck so much circa 04-06 that people actually thought he was finished.

You're a buffoon

1. West Indian great pace bowlers were never that great. Fidel Edwards is as good.
2. Jimmy Anderson is the best bowler from England EVER.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why not take the new ball?

Shocking decision.

Yeah but, what's your point? He honestly was on track to break every record, not because he was better than everyone else but because he was a good young batsman with lots of test cricket ahead of him. It's gone a bit pear shaped since 2012 but no one seriously rated him anywhere near the top tier of batsmen I would think.

So you still believe he will break all those records? ...Good going

I'll be really surprised if he ends up with a higher average than Graham Thorpe, or more runs than Jayawardene.
