Genuine oversight that one . Take out Robinson and slot brook in before stokesWhy drop Brook?
Could be one of those like Hales with MorganFor the life of me I don't know what Liam Dawson needs to do to get a go.
Averages 35 with the bat and has 22 wkts at under 17 this season.
He's raw but I have seen enough from him to suggest he will be gun cricketer so needs to be persisted with especially in conditions outside his comfort zone as long term it will be worth it. Its not the youngest of sides which is another reason to back him.Cam is a gun, plenty of time for him to come good in this series, in either department.
Yes we are definitely paying the price nowYou could also argue Archer wasn’t looked after like a 90mph+ bowler should be being asked to bowl 8/9 over spells!
Yeah crowds are always very flat at Lord'sAtleast Edgbaston crowds were engaging.
Problem is his bowling. Reckon he's better than what we tend to think but he just doesn't seem to get any serious amount of overs bowled.He's raw but I have seen enough from him to suggest he will be gun cricketer so needs to be persisted with especially in conditions outside his comfort zone as long term it will be worth it.

I forgot brook , so take out Robinson and slot brook in at 4 or 5
. No. We are practising a work called The Armed Man - A Mass for Peace - by Karl Jenkins. However, if encores are called for ……Will you be singing Ben Stokes Barmy Arny?
It IS the end of an era.Feels a bit like the end of an era.
Those 2021 Australian wickets were genuinely kinda green tbf.Unless of course you think the Aussies and Pakistan produce green tops.
Not to elephants thoI think Glenn McGrath is another one like that - a snarly, aggressive so and so on the pitch but apparently a real gent off it.
Archer was 'Rooted'.Archer has just been unlucky with injuries,you could maybe argue that Wood wasn't managed better earlier in his test career
Kinda green? They were some of the greenest pitches I've ever seen here.Those 2021 Australian wickets were genuinely kinda green tbf.
Fair point re: Pakistan though.
Isn’t Bairstow going to be miffed if you take the gloves off him?Crawley

I think once they picked four quicks they really had no choice but to bowl first, especially in those conditions. They just didn’t bowl well enough over the day, and didn’t take their chances early on when they did.Bowling first was absolutely the right call. But you definitely don't still want to be bowling by stumps then; you're liable to be well behind the game in that case - not this far behind mind you
Stokes probably assumed Cummins would declare at tea anyway.Bowling first was absolutely the right call. But you definitely don't still want to be bowling by stumps then; you're liable to be well behind the game in that case - not this far behind mind you
I had him more an 88 kinda guy tbhBelieve it or not it has taken me till now to realise why Root wears the number 66
That'd just give him more questions to answer.I had him more an 88 kinda guy tbh
