*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

Green just plonking the front foot forward makes me so nervous

Hmm, I'm not sure most people are asking for bairstow to be dropped though, he's been insanely good with the bat. Just it'd be better if they found a way to include both in the team. Not sure who they'd drop though. Pope would've been a candidate but he's done OK recently.

My preferred suggestion was to drop Crawley and move Stokes to opening, but it's far from an optimal solution admittedly.

 

[CartyDurham]

Too many runs given by Ali

I can see that but they are gambling he takes a few wickets

 

[TheJediBrah]

Green noticeably trying real hard to hit singles, guess it's a good sign

.

did stokes throw at the wrong end there ?

Green was already in

 

[thierry henry]

I can see your point but Gower was the most elegant player ever for me

and by the way @thierry henry , Gower punched my lights out

I reckon we could take Gower

Shane Watson like, lbw awaiting

 

[thierry henry]

It doesn’t matter. They are looking for wickets

On the other hand, runs also count in the sport of cricket

 

[CartyDurham]

Green was already in

Agreed after the replay , he was in clearly

For England fielding side; it’s secondary

Correct. All to be seen. I’m off now for a bit. Think I will punch my neighbours lights out

bye for now . Play nice

Every run count in test cricket,

That’s deep

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That’s deep

Yess, I see it as insanity. This England team

"Come on guys let's get some more wickets!"
"But the game is over"
"What, how?"
"They already made more runs than us"

On the other hand, philosophy and saving test cricket
