Foakes is such a compact player, really needs an extended run in the side from now on

EDIT : brilliant grab from Pant!

I don't think that Kohli would have enforced the follow-on, but it still feels better not to give him the option.

bounce malfoy out

On a positive note, Foakes has been super

He’s obviously a top shelf keeper and he looks to be better organised with the bat than all bar Root & Stokes

Some of the other English batting techniques are very weird and don’t inspire confidence at all

When a greenish top in SENA countries swing by miles and gives no chance for batsman, it's all good and the SC batsmen need to learn to play swing.. But if the SENA countries batsmen get out to trurning balls, then it's not their technique or temparament problem.. It's only the pitch to blame.. What a hyprocatic bull ****.. If you are so afraid of turning pitches, then dont come for overseas tours.. Keep playing in your own lawns..

"Stuart Broad, then; might play a few shots"

We hope so, Nicholas, we hope so.

Surely Foakes should be first-choice in the subcontinent now? Much better keeper than Bairstow/Buttler and arguably a better bat against spin.

Why am I not surprised that the same level of idiocy is displayed on twitter by Vaughan, KP and Warne as it is here by Burgey and Social? Burgey is probably angry he has to live in the ass of the world map but **** off if you think this pitch is not good. Consistent turn, bounce and pace. If you cant play spin, dont play cricket, ****s.

I can't comment on the veracity of most of your post, but let me assure you nobody is pissed off they have to live in Australia. Although the glare of the sand as you lay back on one of the hundreds of perfect beaches we have is annoying at times. Stops you checkin' out tha chicks.

Watching Sibley and Burns in tandem is one of the worst things i've ever experienced.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well...

Yeah he’s class. They could drop Lawrence for Buttler when he’s back but when Crawley returns it’s going to be a tricky selection.

 

[Shri]

foakes is so good

hope he bats at 5 or 3 and builds a partnership sometime with root against spin

 

[morgieb]

Stuart Broad, folks.

 

[Spark]

he missed a half volley, clearly the pitch is unplayable /s

 

[Gnske]

Imagine being broken by Varun Aaron

Thought being in the same country as Burgey maybe a reason, tbh.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I suppose that counts as "playing a few shots".

HB in being defensive about Chennai’s awfulness shocker

Woeful deck. Woeful joint.

Foakes looked great. Send him higher up the order.
