You know how else they could have an extra 50-100?If we win this it's going to be down to the difference in the quality of keeping, particularly to spin. Carey hasn't dropped one of gaz and bairstow has dropped 3 off the spinners. If bairstow kept better England have an extra 50-100 lead.
Seems I jinxed him. Apologies.We don't need to keep saying "that's a good shot by Root" because it's kind of what we expect from such a good batsman. An exceptional shot, certainly.
The profile pic of him in the partnership photo they put up between overs was the first time I've realized he has a chin. Thought he had a touch of the Vaughans about him up til then.Brook has such a punchable face. It's a miracle he survives in the same team as Ben Stokes.
Well ours doesn't.Root probably forgot that keepers catch the ball
Careless Root,oh and Bairstow that's how you stump someone instead of letting them offWell that came from nowhere.
I doubt a later declaration gets them an extra 100. Would have been 30-50 and I reckon a two chances to bowl at the openers when they weren't set with the new rock was worth that risk.You know how else they could have an extra 50-100?
Sadly pressure totally different on day 4England where 3 down on a road at lunch on day 1 and shortly after 150-5. Wtf are the comms on about.
Which one of them doesn't have a one? Honestly take your time and go through the line up. It's only MoeenBrook has such a punchable face. It's a miracle he survives in the same team as Ben Stokes.
Yeah, definitely more 50 than 100, agreed.I doubt a later declaration gets them an extra 100. Would have been 30-50 and I reckon a two chances to bowl at the openers when they weren't set with the new rock was worth that risk.
Australia got bowled out on same road. We haven't been.England where 3 down on a road at lunch on day 1 and shortly after 150-5. Wtf are the comms on about.
So would you go back to Root as captain?Here's a thought. Should England ever select anyone born south of the Trent? Ever!
