Time will tell but looks a good batting wicket…..

 

[dadnlad]

Nasser turned up in full indian kit ?

 

[waspish]

Moved a bit but not troubling India at the moment! It’s going to be stokes to make a difference I reckon

 

[waspish]

Bumrah would of bowled a good length and with our openers playing shots every ball we be 3 down by now

 

[wattle]

This bowling attack is a far cry from Wood, Archer and Anderson. Woakes and hopefully Stokes our only chance really

I recon our thinking is our batting is a hell of a lot better than our bowling. I can’t see us bowling India out twice to win the game with that attack, but I can see us knocking 400 off to win on a good wicket - unless it crumbles

I can’t see us doing that, I’m afraid. India’s bowling is pretty good and more varied than ours.

Unfortunately I think most test bowling attacks are at the moment

Sir Jimmy is available!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I rate Carse and Tongue but think it should be one or the other, not both. They both leak runs.

 

[dadnlad]

have we changed the ball yet

 

[waspish]

What over reverse swing comes into it! Because this pitch is flat as fuck it looks it

 

[BringBackSwales]

Hindsight is on my side but it looked a strange decision to bowl, bright sunshine, flat pitch, not much grass on it

 

[waspish]

Whoop

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Turned it on, 2nd ball gets a wicket.
I'll turn it off again for a while.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

have there been any chances before the wicket?

no

no

ah, even more mad that it's 2 down.
Terrible shot for the second one. Bad ball gets a wicket.

He moves too far across his stumps. He’ll get bowled leg stump quite a lot if he doesn’t move over a bit.

It’s why he nicked off too as he was reaching to hit the ball and lost some balance.

It's probably not as uncommon as it should be. Bowlers sends down a dreadful, wide long hop. The batman's eyes open wide; "I'm having this". Goes to cut it, straight to point or gully. Or drags it on.
