The Big Batting Question

Okay, two games in, four openers tried, and still no sign of a solution to who goes in at the top of the order. Kears seems to enjoy the middle order more, whilst Ferd and Buts both struggled.

Mike scored a cracking ton against Bangladesh, but the speed of his scoring (similarly to Mohammad and especially Thompson) also concerns me as to the likelihood of consistency.

I'm tempted to keep Mike at the top of the order (possibly tying in to a little less aggressive approach if he's up for it?), but I'm still well unsure of the second man. Maybe Alex Blackman, or even trying Dave Richards? Thoughts?

When were these matches played? what are they for? or dont they count for anythnig?


Also i told you that i prob would do better in the middle but still if injuries come around i will gladly go back up to the top of the order.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

DW about that i just read the other post..... and i see all lol just wondering if they count towards career stats?

My first match

I am quite pleased with my first game with Blacks.

My bowling first up was quite bad and I really have to work on that.

I then scored 13 runs which for me I rate quite decent.

YAY I took a catch

15 9 14 1 0 0 from me for my second innings bowling. I need to bowl like this more to make it into the Black squad more.

I then got a duck... BOO

 

[GotSpin]

Have i missed something here?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Dunno. Have you?

 

[Loony BoB]

I'll have a go at opening, but I'd prefer 4 or 5
