There's less traffic at the next off-ramp.
No you don't understand, I'm not saying he should be dropped, it's called mind games ..This would be possibly the worst selection decision of all time and immediately shatter the entire Bazball project. If Joe Root has to look over his shoulder because he might be dropped for some bad shots, then say goodbye to any sort of clear-minded, free-spirited batting from England ever again.
Yeah, unless these two go big (really big in Duckett's case) England are in real trouble here. Think they'll need a hundred run lead to win this.Ball's ragging miles here
You're also not understanding. The entire, fundamental ethos of Bazball is that "mind games" are an evil and must be purged from the setup. Total mental clarity, total unquestioning support, no compromises. Start picking on Joe Root and the blokes who are half as good will be immediately worrying about their spots.No you don't understand, I'm not saying he should be dropped, it's called mind games ..
It doesn't have to be someone from the selection group , can be someone like Sir Boycott or Michael Vaughan in the media..
Great players do love when they are being challenged..I don't think Root is being challenged enough currently.
Leggies (or wrist-spinners in general) always get a solid proportion of their wickets like that tbf. Especially on a pitch as slow as this oneThis series is proving that long hops may simply be the best balls to get wickets with. Dreadful cricket all round.
Roots shot now looks better.Lol now roots shot has competition
