Stumps day 1
England 358-7
Atkinson 74 n/o
Potts 20 n/o
A good recovery from 216-60 -
This, although I think Crawley may even be a bit taller. I used to laugh when Duckett lined up between Crawley and Broad before matches! And I think Broad is 6'6" - also he was premature at 12 weeks early, so maybe have been even tallerblackpool72 said:
Another plus is that one of them is a six foot 4 right handed batsman.fenaddick said:They also seem to play and communicate well together. We talk about footballers creating relationships on the pitch, surely it’s similar for opening batters
The other a short arsed left handed batsman.
When they are playing well it makes it very hard for bowler's to get their line and length right.
Fingers crossed they do the business against the Aussies.0 -
Ollie Pope is the worst starter since a Glasgow restaurant served up a deep fried mars bar.0

We're going tomorrow.
It's gonna be a challenge watching the cricket, pissed/half pissed at 6pm trying to buy Oasis tickets in the ballot.3 -
Good luck! How does the ballot work? You either get an email by 5pm tomorrow if you don't. If you do get an email, what then and when?Covered End said:We're going tomorrow.

We don't know. It says you'll get an e mail by 5pm to tell you how to possibly purchase pre sale tickets tomorrow (Friday).PrincessFiona said:

The proper sale starts 9am Saturday, so most likely the pre sale starts sometime around 5pm Friday.1 -
I'm due to be out tomorrow afternoon and not be able to check my phone for an hour, so wondering whether to change my plans to not miss anything on the off chance!!!Covered End said:

But I'm optimistic they'll be a further 5 Wembley dates.0 -
agreed but I don't want to miss out if by some remote chance I get an option in the pre-sales. There will certainly be enough wanting tickets, but how booked up is Wembley for more dates?Covered End said:

I can think of a certain centrally contracted fast bowler who has played one Test match (with zero wickets) in the last 14 months who Key might be talking about....

That ball, bowled as wide as it was, and pitching so far outside off, never looked like hitting. It was England that reviewed it as it was given out, not Sri Lanka as intimated by the commentators.1
-
Atkinson can bat and has done tremendously well but it does put the spotlight on those in the top order who gave their wicket up cheaply on this pitch. We won't get away with doing that against India or Australia because the likes of Atkinson and Potts might not be able to rescue us.2

Key also mentioned picking players bowling at 85+, which seems relevant to the same player.Addick Addict said:I can think of a certain centrally contracted fast bowler who has played one Test match (with zero wickets) in the last 14 months who Key might be talking about....0 -
That didn't stop him picking Robinson before (11 wickets at 25.54 and an ER of 2.64 in Australia is nothing to be sniffed at) although I agree that they are now looking forward to Australia rather than backwards and that comment about Cook being in the "Woakes" category which is rather unfortunate for Cook. Basically, they've decided to throw as many potential real quicks against the wall and see which ones have the raw capability of doing it at international level hence the introduction of the likes of Carse, Hull etcNorth Lower Neil said:

About eight years ago, one particular county, not known for producing seamers, sent a message to their age group coaches that they no longer wanted them to pick young bowlers who could just put it on the spot. They wanted ones that had the potential to become genuine quicks and physique played a part in that. They are still waiting for that quick to come through.1 -
Well batted Atkinson!4

Atkinson must be thinking Test cricket is a piece of piss!
As soon as he came in yesterday, he looked good.2 -
Superb from Atkinson.
He's on all of the Lord's honours boards having played just 5 days of Test cricket there.3 - Sponsored links:

I would be surprised to see Robinson back in the test side anytime soon. Feels like Key and the selectors are looking for a different type of bowler with the likes of Stone,Hull, Pennington and Carse maybe even we get a look at Saqib Mahmood again now he's fit.
Don't even think he's been especially outstanding for Sussex outside of T20 this season either. Got outshone by Jayden Seales.0 -
TMS mentioning Dan Worrall and the fact he qualifies as an England player next year - and before the Ashes:Outside bet, but you never know given the injury issues we've had with the fast bowlers.0
-
10 wickets on debut at Lords.
Now a maiden 1st century also at Lord's.
Living the dream.3 -
In the second innings, Potts can open with Duckett as he's looked really solid, with Atkinson at 3 2

I've seen some awful reviews in my time. Smith didn't appeal and if he were a bit more experienced he would have told them it wasn't out!0

God knows why, he missed the ball by a mile.1 -
Now is the test for Smith. Make no mistake he is in the team to stay for a long time. Whether that is as keeper/bat or just bat time will tell. One for the Surrey boys - am I right in saying that he has batted at 3 for Surrey? Has he ever opened?0

Pakistan will be a test for Smith as a keeper, it'll be hot and tiring. Will he be able to still bat the same way after 100 overs in the field?0
