[Compton]

How does Archer average nearly 30 with the bat in FC?

Well deserved promotion for Leach

Div 2 medium pacers are a different proposition to Hazlewood, Cummins, Pattinson

The Root delivery was probably the only decent wicket taking ball. But as he was on his fourth innings he can’t really grumble.

It is really quite stupid that the starting time isn't pushed earlier by half an hour. It's not like sunset time is a shock.

Yeah but tradition.

 

[Spark]

this could be interesting

 

[Daemon]

Leach's survival tactics are gun. Just covers the stumps completely, doesn't move his feet/head much and plays straight. Bunnies should learn from him and Ishant Sharma.

It was a decent ball but it wasn't a snorter and a bloke as good as he is/was shouldn't be getting out like that when he's in

Nice, Buttler. Don't get out doing something silly now.

He should open...

Nah. In July you could start early (but don't need to). Dew everywhere at 10.30 in September though.

Or at the very least bat above Archer.

My club cricket league pushes the start time half an hour earlier for the final game of the season (early September) but apparently it's beyond international schedulers.

Picked to give Cummins a break once in a while

>Cummins ends up bowling 20 overs before 6pm
>Marsh ends up with the best figures
>Cramps and Cummins has to finish his over

Great stuff

haha just think he got excited because of how well he hit it

 

[GIMH]

I know flibberty doesn't agree but Buttler definitely coming out of a slump here

 

[Groundking]

I'll be seriously pissed of if he isn't dropped for pope for the NZ series.

Actually, **** this I'd rather we dropped Bairstow for Pope.
