He is light years away from Dhoni as a captain, in any format.

MSD is one of the best captains we have ever had in tests at home.

Dhoni was pretty defensive as test captain from what I remember.

Bazball is causing a lot of stress out there ..

You need to watch cricket to remember it.

Really? Dhoni wasn't a defensive test captain? Are we going to write history now?

not at home no

 

[subshakerz]

not at home no

Ok I can grant that at home he was better. The team faced many losable situations but still had the nerve to somehow win.

Certainly was. He'd pull an outrageous move every now and then that would sometimes come off and peter out at others, but for the most part he was annoyingly cautious.

Would be an apt comparison too. Both score high on man-management and staying cool under fire but what Stokes is doing with the resources available to him defies all tradition.

Duckett best English opener since Strauss?

Pretty dumb that Umesh has been completely discarded for no good reason. Would be a far better option than Mukesh. He's a weapon at home.

Anderson consistently got late movement when he pitched it up too. Umesh is great on drier deck when that's on offer.

What a shot by Crawley!

 

[BazBall21]

Haha four 4s in the over against Bumrah off the bat of big Zak

 

[Shri]

is that the first forward defense duckett has ever played

 

[Gnske]

Holy god Bharat is pointless

And man Pope is such a shaky starter you could have called him getting out before the end of the over.

 

[Kylez]

Outside of Jack Leech, are England missing any players through injury that would likely be playing in this match?
