This exactly, the difference between 86 and 100 is not that much in the grand scheme of things, and I feel with openers especially it’s about giving the team a platform, either by sticking around and getting the ball soft or in Duckett’s case, getting the bowling team on the back foot by scoring quicklySomething doesn't have to have the correct number of base 10 digits to be a good innings for ****s sake
England lost the toss, put in to bat in what everyone acknowledges are bowling conditions that the oppo selected for, lost an early wicket, and it's immediately put us in charge of the test match.
Well it's gone down in this series even with this knock.Well played Ollie!!!
Anyone popping in just to talk about his average at 3 or is that only when he fails?
That's an excellent idea, batters should be offered the light with the floodlights on and if it's an issue then we switch the ball to pink.Change the ball to a pink one and get on with the game, ffs
Aye, just more a comment on folk who only show up to diss a player when he struggles and say nothing when he doesn'tWell it's gone down in this series even with this knock.
Just saying
