Salt and Buttler - novice shots. Even a decent level club cricketer would show better technique.

Got away there with that doddle of a catch dropped

Root needs to rest sometimes he is no spring chicken

It’s t20, less time in the field and maximum of 20 overs to bat. Has he said he needs a rest or is it you saying it?

Interesting that Duckett and Crawley would be more an option in t20 cricket than Test cricket? In theory at least?

They were both playing homage to Zak Crawley by playing his favourite shot.

Has anyone suggested hitting the ball on the ground to these players? 2 wickets down, just been dropped and still hits it in the air. Thick and indisciplined

Brook CC v Pakistan here.
Also I never realised that Joe Dolce wrote a tribute song to one of the Pakistani spinners.

It’s a world fucking cup by the way (give him a rest in the ODI and t20 games that follow test series)

Tariq is more of a pitcher than a bowler.

That’s not the problem it’s being there no time with his family

Didn’t Root play the 50 over game

 

[waspish]

Brook been great here for to go on and win it or get a few hits away at least

Come on Curran that is brain dead when brook going so well and the target is good!

Shocking shot from Curran

 

[gazinho]

Brain dead idiot, just stick around with Brook and we win it at a canter

If someone could explain why Curran is higher up the batting order than Jacks I’d be intrigued

Left hand right hand partnership maybe?

Left hand right hand partnership maybe?

That might be a reason to switch their order depending on circumstances but Curran has batted ahead of Jacks every match
