Been watching the aftermath at the Gabba rather than this, lol. What a character Shamar Joseph is
It's a fantastic result for cricket not just the West Indies and the advent of Shamar and two or three other youngsters will, hopefully, encourage others to pursue the sport professionally
If I were Pope I would have told Stokes where to go when asked to field at short leg/silly point!
I know what you mean. But Pope does the job so well. It's a specialist position and he reminds me a bit of Bell.
Indeed and my comment was a bit tongue in cheek. In the old days there was a hierarchy but that isn't really the case now and it's not as if it would be sensible to ask Rehan or Hartley to do it. I'm just glad that Pope has come back to strong. The first innings was a symptom of someone who hasn't held a bat in the middle for so long and so desperate to impress - frenetic at times as has Root been on occasions too. Class batsmen allowing themselves to try and be something they aren't.
I wonder which part of the wicket that Sharma didn't think the ball was hitting? Three for Hartley and a reward for Stokes believing in him though one can't help thinking that he wouldn't have bowled quite so many overs but for the injury to Leach. Turned up at the match a boy and will end it a man!
Root with the 5th wicket but India can bat deep but 10+11 have low averages. Impressed With KP and Morgan on the mic and the analysis from Ben Duckett after some thought he was crazy a couple of days ago.
Jadejas run out straight red in test cricket but look at the angle he run at he turned it in to 24 yards rather than 22 brain dead these cnuts are professional top of the game ffs

Let's not also forget that Ashwin was run out in the first innings following that joke of a mix up with Jadeja
