*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Aug 4-8 - 2021

Here's a Chennai comment:

Gaurav: "I don't think Anderson would have played this many matches had he needed to ball in Chennai in 50 degree celcius. Quite possible, he wouldn't gve chosen to become a fast bowler too." -- I'm from Chennai, and while it can get incredibly hot, 50 degrees is a massive exaggeration. On Anderson, yeah. England have done very well to preserve him and use him very sparingly on Asian tours, where he bowls when the ball is new and when the ball is reversing, but doesn't bowl too many long spells otherwise.


@honestbharani , you have any 2 cents to add?

Apparently Sibley has dropped 7 out of 18 chances that have come his way in test cricket.

EDIT
I've just seen yesterday's drop for the first time, and it was really poor. I don't know who else in the side can field there. It's tempting to suggest Bairstow, but I know that's a different skill-set really.
