One is a genuine bowling allrounder who later became a slogging hack, while the other has consistently been a no.9 with big shots and huge potential but not really made any runsI want to talk about who is the better batsman.
You’re backing up your point using the ICC test rankings... OK well in that case Ben Stokes is a better batsmen than Kane Williamson because Stokes is ranked 3rd for test batsmen and Williamson is ranked 5th.Well one is ranked 4th in the world and one is ranked 10th in the world. They are very similar players and it is a fair comparison.
Which, personally, I think is more valuable in a bowler than a batsman, because you can win a Test match in a session with an ATG spell more reliably and more often than you can with an ATG innings.Broad is like the KP of bowling. Bowler of ATG spells than an ATG bowler.
Shannon and Roach might not allow that to happen if they bowl well. Let's see.So: quick runs or trust the weather and play test cricket?
350 should be too much for these guys when they're away from home, and england need to win to win the trophy back. i'd err on the side of having a crack.So: quick runs or trust the weather and play test cricket?
Be interesting to see how the openers go.So: quick runs or trust the weather and play test cricket?
it depends what the flipside of the bowler is.Which, personally, I think is more valuable in a bowler than a batsman, because you can win a Test match in a session with an ATG spell more reliably and more often than you can with an ATG innings.
I think we've seen more value for shots on this pitch than we did in the second test so I think batting with a normal level of care, even at Sibley speed, should still see us around 340+ ahead by the end of the day if we have wickets in hand. That'd be about enough to defend on the last day in the event of a day 4 washout.So: quick runs or trust the weather and play test cricket?
Complete washout tomorrow probablyIs it meant to rain? Just heard the comms say England would look to be bowling again by tonight. Why?
Yeah the forecast for tomorrow is lousy.Is it meant to rain? Just heard the comms say England would look to be bowling again by tonight. Why?
