But Woakes' injury can't be put down to playing too many Tests in a short period of time.PrincessFiona said:
Maybe, maybe not. Tiredness and stress on the body makes it much less resilient, even to a fall. It can't be good for any of the players to be cramming in such intense cricket in such a short time. It is disgracefulChizz said:
Woakes' injury can't really be out down to playing too many Tests in a short period of time.PrincessFiona said:
How do we get to the situation when the main test series has to be crammed into a ridiculously short period of time with far too short a rest period between tests. No wonder Stokes, Woakes etc have injuries - its not good for the players well-beingAddick Addict said:Seriously, how do we get to a situation in August where an England international (and a batter at that) has played one red ball game all season and that was six weeks ago? Bethell might be capable of producing the goods without previous time in the middle but we really aren't giving him the best tools with which to prove himself.0 -
Thing is with a dislocated shoulder can Woakes even hold the bat?0
-
Two extremely polar opposite sessions today. England running riot in the opening session and the afternoon India climbing back into the match. Was worried this series would end with India petering out but seems we’ve got quite a finish on our hands. Been a great series.1

Will hinge on the fact India's wicket keeper got injured & used a substitute.....who fielded for him behind the stumps but didnt bat for him.
However, we get an injury and his substitute cant replace him to bowl.....and with the injury he cant bat so we only have 10 players that will bat & not 11.
As they say......thats just not cricket.1 -
One bowler down, and only a 6 hour rest between innings.0

Depends what you mean by "survive". There is a thing called "duty of care". Being able to defend yourself or even sway out the way with a dislocated shoulder, especially your lead one, against 85mph bowling plus, is a recipe for having the ambulance on standby.golfaddick said:
If Brook is still in should Woakes come out just so Brook might be able to tee off ?? Not expecting Woakes to do anything but all the time he is in the middle the innings is still "alive". He might only survive 1 ball but if it meant Brook farmed the strike for a couple of overs & got another 20 or 30 runs it might be worth it as this game might be won by a handful of runs.LenGlover said:Woakes probably can’t bat so 215-8 in real terms0 -
Guess the score at close of play tonight, assuming no more stoppages & they go on until 7.30 (light permitting).
Probably around 20 overs. 3 an over approx.
60 runs. 2 wickets.
Spread......
Good. 50 for 3 or 4
Bad 80 for 0 or 1.0 -
England need 2 fine legs and 2 third men for Tongue...2

Cricket is both figuratively and literally what it is. The law has been applied appropriately in both circumstances.golfaddick said:Will hinge on the fact India's wicket keeper got injured & used a substitute.....who fielded for him behind the stumps but didnt bat for him.

So why was Pant allowed to bat but not keep wicket ? Genuinely dont understand that.Chizz said:

the questionable rule is that a sub fielder can be used as keeper, especially when India has a capable reserve keeper in the initial XI selected0 -
Perhaps it's time to have named subs like in football. Max of 3 & you can only use1. I'd expect that would be a keeper, batter & a bowler.Billy_Mix said:

Chances going a begging.
A drop catch & a missed run out.0 -
To be fair, this spell has been the complete opposite. Maybe he's got his contact lenses in now.killerandflash said:England need 2 fine legs and 2 third men for Tongue...0 -
Just fuck off Dawson you twat2
-
Bizarre. I know he's a slow left armer, but that attempt by Dawson was Tufnell or Panesar standard.2
-
Well that isn't going to get Dawson on the Ashes plane. He's the second player in this Series to drop a catch with sun glasses on his cap only to complain that he lost the ball in the sun. I thought, originally, that it was the background that caused the issue but the next ball he put the glasses on!1

That's three catches we've dropped now in this innings alone - Brook, Dawson and Crawley.0
-
Jaiswal dropped twice already this innings. Now Sudharsan .
Are the players picking the ball?0 -
Can't blame the light. Just catch the fricken thing0
-
Why is Dawson our sub fielder anyway? Haven't they got a local gun fielder who could be out there?0

What was that quote from the Ashes series when Warne dropped one.Addick Addict said:That's three catches we've dropped now in this innings alone - Brook, Dawson and Crawley.
Well I think that's the series gone. 2-2.0 -
Top order players love burning reviews, whether they're batting or at the other end.0

Woakes is allowed to bat. And to have a substitute fielder. In roughly* the same way that Pant was.golfaddick said:

All the others are quicks - Archer, Carse and Cook - and they are probably too delicate to risk.killerandflash said:Why is Dawson our sub fielder anyway? Haven't they got a local gun fielder who could be out there?0 -
I mean having a local Surrey youngster. A Gary Pratt type.Addick Addict said:
