Santner is just an absolute liability in LO cricket with the bat. He is genuinely terrible at scoring at any rate
Yeah it's just awful watching him in this kind of situation. He can stay in but what's the use of that when he'll struggle to score at a strike rate above 50 (unless half volleys).

We're picking our four best bowlers, or near enough to, but it does make our tail god-awful. Ferguson, Henry no better. Astle is a touch.

It sucks because he's an essential bowling option who has a lot of potential with the bat.
Problem is he can't play pace. I'm convinced his eyes are no good. Bowling the spinner probably the worst idea to him, only thing he can hit

Say more bad things about Santner!

But seriously England, the only place he can hit is over long-on when you bowl half volleys or full tosses.

And now Joe Public will think he's awesome and Hesson will keep backing him. Oh well if we win I'll love him like he's a God of the sport

He should obviously be in the side on bowling alone anyway though. Unless you're just advocating he bats ten?

Why the hate? He's an awesome bowler, I know his batting can be frustrating but that shouldn't take away from his value to the team.
