Can anybody think of examples of a number 11 not bowling in a test match?

I should shut up really - I've done for Bairstow and Ansari now

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well that was a painful innings.

I'm hoping BD win and this happens to Kamrul.

He gets to be part of the XI of the biggest win in BD's test history and contributes absolutely nothing to it.

You'd feel bad for him, and yet think he's a lucky SOB.

So how's the weather looking

 

[fredfertang]

Missing leg?
surely worth a review?

 

[cnerd123]

TAIJUL

worth a review. That was Dharmasena wasn't it?

 

[cnerd123]

If we can bowl England out below 170 I'd be so, so happy.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Given how often he uses them he may as well have looked seeing as we have 2 left.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Looks like we need to bowl them out for 150 in 2nd innings to set a target we can chase.

 

[fredfertang]

Plumber than I thought at first

 

[fredfertang]

Root did look in a different class to the other England batsmen, and not far short of Mominul and Tamim

 

[cnerd123]

I think he's in. Was a really good opportunity for a runout.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Was about to post about how well Root was playing off the back foot and he gets out like that. Still very impressive though.

 

[cnerd123]

These two are very good batsmen and BD can't get complacent because they are batting at 9 and 10.

Man **** England's batting depth. This is ridiculous.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

****ing hell this jedibrah just wasted the mood of watching this game

 

[OverratedSanity]

I love how Taijul looks like he's constantly pissed off at everyone and everything.

 

[cnerd123]

The difference between how England have used their reviews and how BD have been using them is stark.

This feels like a wasted review too.

 

[cnerd123]

I know Dharmasena has been bad but you don't literally review EVERY decision he makes Mushy

We have had most matches with them so know how to use them. Will be interesting how India use them seeing how they have no idea how the system works with regards to trying to take emotion out of it and using a clear head to use them at the right time.
