Wonder if Bashir can bat

Looks like he knows what he’s doing to be fair, for how much longer we don’t know like but not a usual number 11 looking like a rabbit in headlights upto now

Dont watch loads of cricket but what the hell has happened to Root ?
Used to be a bloody good player

Bazball has made him question his methods of batting and has made him worse, imho.

He’s best when he bats naturally and scores about a run a ball anyway, but he feels he has to reverse scoop etc to fit in with the new mentality.

Teams have stopped him scoring a single down to third man too.

Get 5 down for 70 today we back in it

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Might have missed a trick by not going in with another pace/seam bowler.

Listened to Agnew and co waxing lyrical yesterday about how England were in a really strong position in the Test. As Boycott always said, you never know until the second side has batted. Good Test.

A score of 400 generally means you’re ahead of the game. We performed a miracle in the first test. Can lightning strike twice?

Were they playing on top the Empire State Building...

Prefer series when one team wins and then the other comes roaring back to square it.

Try listening to the fox commentators in Australia. Blech.

There’ll be a study of why and when people stopped being able to listen to commentators of any sport at some point.

And we will have a list of names as the reasons why yea

When Australia are playing you mean?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

When Australia are playing you mean?

Yes. The Ashes over there is the worst, especially as we invariably get hammered.

Not sure. Seems peoples’ tolerance is much lower than it used to be.

 

[Ric]

Can’t see us pulling off another miracle here.

 

[chesterbells]

We’ve lost this Test haven’t we?

I slightly think so. I haven’t checked the forecast, but I can’t see rain stopping play somehow.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This law needs changing. The ball was stationary.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Maphaka (yes, that’s his name) has really stood out at the under 19 World Cup. He’s definitely one to keep an eye on.

I'm not gonna be too harsh on our batsmen getting skittled by Bumrah. When he's on it he's the best fast bowler I've seen. Accurate, fast, moves it both ways and it all comes from a 4 or 5 step run up. He is simply unplayable sometimes.

Teams dont usually appeal for that, very poor from Zimbabwe imo, its nowhere near rolling back to the stumps.
