He played at a wide ball swinging away. It should have been left alone.

Yup, we're in big trouble if the skipper goes cheaply. As opposed to being in a spot of bother even if he doesn't.

No pressure Joe.
But huge ton now or we lose. (We could lose anyway.)

I know it's not an original whinge (and I suspect I've made it more than once myself) but this must be one of the ploppiest top threes we've ever fielded.
Crawley at least has the virtue of occasionally looking like a test bat (not so much today perhaps) but really what's the point of Sibley if he's going to befoul our eyeballs with a scrotum-grabbingly awkward MO and not actually score any runs?

Yeah Burns-Sibley have got to be the least aesthetic opening pair I’ve ever seen

Hameed looks all grown up, freaked me out a bit when I saw a picture of him recently.

Kyle Jamieson is going to pin many batsmen with that unplayable length, delivered from above seven feet, going away to hit the top of off. You need to be a very skilled batsman to keep those out consistently.

Elgar and Cook wasn’t the best. Elgar and Malan were also not easy on the eyes.

Yeah, the growth of facial hair and his locks. Looks like a 75 over old Kookabura ball.

Not really yet I don't think. His presence in the squad is more testimony to England's lack of batting depth right now. He's had a good half season so far this year and that's it. Encouraging signs but not enough to justify a recall after not being able to buy a run for so long.
Next in line for a top order gig seems to be Bracey, who's snuck into the XI here through Foakes' injury (and Buttler's resting). He knows that the keeper slot isn't his for long but if he scores some runs at 7 it might put some pressure on the top 3.

Crawley is Vince revisited, has a few nice shots but not good enough. Sibley needs runs asap or Hameed will need a chance.
Guess the issue is what the side will look like when Buttler and Stokes return. If Bracey scores runs does he get a top 3 spot etc..?
