*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Aug 4-8 - 2021

That was a surprisingly good session from India there. Bumrah was getting plenty of movement for the first time in a long-time, Siraj looking like a true attacking option, Thakur looking like a poor-man's Tim Southee (in a good way) and Shami bowled exceptionally well to no reward.

I think Jadeja can have an impact here if he can get some drift.

the sibley shout looked dead live. was amazed they didn't review.
Probably because it is Sibley, they know he won't hurt them and they will get him soon anyway. If that was Root or Buttler on strike then the review would have been called after 1 second.

I see you're familiar with Dom Sibley.
FJ's point is the topic of discussion on TMS as we speak. One pov is that there's no point in him hanging around for a couple of hours as he doesn't actually hurt sides. The other pov is that he makes life easier for the middle order by seeing off the new ball. That and us having little in the way of alternatives, so a top 3 each averaging 30 is probably as good as we'll get at present.

I'd like Hameed to come in for Crawley who I don't rate. He looked like he had ability and temperament when he was picked in India.
