The problem is, and it is a problem, is he gets out the same way nearly every innings after having made a decent start, he didn't need to play at that ball, and it wasn't the first to be played at this morning that could just be left alone, we don't need to score 5 an over today, bat sensibly we'll have it won before the rain turns up.
Tiny bit of leather tuft showing on it. They could have snipped it off.What exactly was the reason the ball got changed?
Yes.What's Winviz (or whatever it's called) saying now?
Why?!
We need 251 and he’s got 44 of them.
I wish he could convert these starts into big innings, but he’s doing his bit.
You guys keep getting worked up that Crawley gets 30-40 runs when that’s all we need from him. He’s stuck around for 20 overs, seen off the new ball, scored decent runs and now Root and Brook aren’t facing a new ball.
This isnt the forum for sensible comments .. how many times ?40% more swing with this new ball is not an insignificant amount, it’s like starting the game again, hopefully Root & Brook dig in and play shots when they can
Agree 100% that's escatly tve say the whole test has gone, one batsman sticks the others fail , why people expect different this innings is beyond meWe 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 isn't ready to play at 3 , as he showed in tbe first inningsBrook showing Ali who the real number 3 is…
