To be honest, for as much as this series has been entertaining for it's close contests, I think the batting on both sides has often be woeful, only a couple have batted well really, and far too many wickets have been given away for me, the bowling has been good in general though.I accept that. I just think there has been a lot of poor batting performances in this England side across this series and his has been frustrating in that he hasn’t capitalised on good positions, but I think he’s far from the worst out there. He’s not the reason we’re 2-0 down, if everybody else were doing their jobs well he’d be doing fine without doing anything spectacular.
Correct. If the weather holds, we had a theoretical 180 overs to get a little over 220 runs. Two or three singles per over would comfortably do it. Bazball is great to watch, but there are occasions when pragmatism has to come into play.We’ve got a day and a half to get 158 runs. The ball had just been changed, just get used to it for a few overs and don’t just swing at everything like it’s a school playground.
Not enough time jim, we only need 137 more to win.We need one of Root, Brook, Bairstow or Stokes to get a century here. It's still perfectly achievable. With the right attitude. Park Bazball; two or three rpo will be perfectly sufficient.
Brook showing Ali who the real number 3 is…
We’re chasing 251, not 351. No one needs to get a century. We just need one or two partnerships of note.We need one of Root, Brook, Bairstow or Stokes to get a century here. It's still perfectly achievable. With the right attitude. Park Bazball; two or three rpo will be perfectly sufficient.
