It is another case of his strength overdone. Crawley threw his hands at one of Starc's wide ones and got away with it as it flew over the slips.lolwray said:Really bad shot that ...0 -
I was always tempted to post of Tongue that I couldn't support a future Warwickshire player. This might somehow be even worseAddick Addict said:I see that Notts have been on a Chelsea type raid in signing both Josh Tongue and Dillon Pennington from Worcestershire. To lose one quick is bad enough but to lose two for a county like Worcestershire is hard to take.1 -
Putting saliva on the ball taking that catch, cheat 😤 🤣0

All out for 150 I reckon0

Unfortunate for Duckett but that’s how he batted to get 98 & 83 at Lords. It won’t work every time.1

6 innings this summer it's come off 3 times, that's quite a high %, it just looks awful when it doesn't.Callumcafc said:Unfortunate for Duckett but that’s how he batted to get 98 & 83 at Lords. It won’t work every time.0 -
You're always gonna have bad sessions or sessions where the other side put you under pressure or are better than you. That's test cricket. The issue this series seems to be that when we have a bad session it's really bad. Heads seem to drop, we compound our own issues by dropping catches and giving away extras. We look less threatening and energy levels drop off so far.
It's something Stokes needs to address. It seems like he's waiting for a session break to reset and give a fresh team talk. Things can just drift if left. He needs to find a way to get into his players and change the momentum within sessions.1 -
Brook gone0

Ugh0

Root might as well have batted at 3 anyway.0

brook caught in the slips for 30

265 looking a bit better now....
Come on Root.0 -
Never judge a pitch until both teams have batted…0
-
Brook at 3 was always a bad idea - Root or Stokes as the senior pros should have stepped up0
-
Was going to post, I wouldn’t be surprised, or disappointed if we ended up 3 down tonight.
Already two down.0 -
Here we go again two of the top order batters, (so far!) contributing just five runs 🙄0
-
A massive difference between bashing around tired bowlers and a 40 over ball, than having to face a virtually new ball bowled at 85-90mphkillerandflash said:Brook at 3 sounds dubious. If part of the reason for having 5 bowlers PLUS Stokes is because he's knackered after that long spell at Lord's, then surely Stokes if he's going to be playing as a batsman should move up the order himself, not hide at 6. He's good enough to play at 3.1 -
back to the problem of the last 5-6 years where root gets exposed to the new ball.0

It pisses me off that he won't bat at three all the time.Cafc43v3r said:Root might as well have batted at 3 anyway.
Pope is a natural batting at 4 or 5.
Brook is just finding his feet at Test cricket.
Root has over 100 caps and is averaging about 50.
If I was captain I'd tell him he has to play at three .1 - Sponsored links:

Obviously it won't happen under Baz and Ben but there is a strong argument to bat Woakes right up the order. He has got a much better technique than 3 of our top 6.
He can't play the all the shots they can but if shine off the ball and overs in the legs was the aim...
Then you could have Brook, Stokes, Bairstow to pick up the pace lower down.2 -
They want a third aggressive opener in that number three spot. Pope does a half decent job of it despite it not being the most natural for him.
But there is an obvious candidate for who should be playing that role.
Someone who opens for England in ODI cricket. Someone who can play a Crawley-like innings and someone who’s biggest strength is his batting.
Unfortunately he’s standing behind the stumps and dropping catches.5 -
Root was told he would be batting second drop, and thought that meant he had to drop two catches.5

You still have to drop someone else to fit Foakes in though.Callumcafc said:They want a third aggressive opener in that number three spot. Pope does a half decent job of it despite it not being the most natural for him.

Is it possible that, should Warner go cheaply in the second innings, Australia will push Head up the order (averages 55.75 from admittedly limited opportunities opening) in order to bring Green back in and retain Marsh too? It would also give them that extra bowling option too with Marsh becoming the 5th seamer.0

Ffs Crawley you have done the hard bit and now thrown your wicket away.3
-
The way this is going I don't see this one going the full 5 days.0
-
Hopefully that's the last time we see Crawley in the England line up.1
-
Why is YJB batting above Stokes? Its not like he has been keeping all day either0
-
Predictable from Crawley, boring0
