Roy’s spot at the top should not be in doubt

[Tom Flint]

Same as the no balls, they are only meant to check if they think they are close to the line, but quite often the replay shows they are 2 or 3 inches behind it

 

[Victor Ian]

It's unlikely every decision would be reviewed. Just those that are close. It's worth losing some time in order to get correct results.

There’s no point in having an on-field umpire if all difficult decisions get referred.

As well just self-umpiring and putting a coat rack at square leg.

agreed. Let's get rid of them.

that sounds better tbh. Just put a security guard out there to keep the rowdy players under control

Last chance saloon for Roy today?

 

[Victor Ian]

Second last chance.

 

[Woodster]

Seriously hoping he shows us what he's capable of today!

Think we're more likely to stick with him and just shuffle the batting order if he fails again, if only because the next-in-line Sibley hasn't scored runs in his last couple of CC games.

Me too. 5 runs before nicking off would be perfect.

 

[Burgey]

Good opportunity for him to tee off if he has the stones to do it. Moderate total and apparently because the sun’s out the bowling is going to be village standard.

So close.

It's not happening, is it? Making the Hales experiment look like a masterstroke.

 

[Starfighter]

Once again I have to question the premise of this thread.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Denly to open, Pope in and Roy back to Surrey.

making Hameed look like a technical genius too.

 

[andruid]

Bring back Ravi Bopara!

Remember the good old days of Sam Robson...

How we mocked him

What's Michael Carberry up to nowadays?

What's Michael Carberry up to nowadays?

He was someone I think was genuinely unlucky, even sans hindsight. I get why you'd want to make some changes after the 13/14 Ashes but he was one of the few players who actually could say he did what was expected (Stokes and Broad probably the other two). Furthermore that was nightmarish bowling.
