Clockwork Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Delighted for Jonny Bairstow as he goes from strength to strength in the Test arena. Saw his old man play many times for Yorkshire, ‘Bluey’ was a fierce competitor but his lad is in a different class. He would have been so proud of him, especially seeing him put in that sort of performance at Headingley. (Match total 233 from 201 balls) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obviously correct, but it seems bizarre considering the unbelievably stupid shots they had been getting themselves out with until recently! Geoff Boycott will be seething. More power to the McCullum/Stokes axis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Leach quickly brought back down to earth today. Heaven help England if they can't find an alternative before their next tour of the subcontinent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Not the morning Stuart Broad would have had in mind, he went for 35 off one over, his worst ever in Test cricket. India all out for 416, Lees was out for 6 as England were 16-1 when the rain came on. Early lunch being taken.Broad had taken his 550th test wicket not long before, but was brought crashing back to earth noting after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Terrific spell of bowling from India here to get England 80odds for 5. Terrific performance from Leach as a nightwatchman there [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 There was a discussion during the final NZ test about Duke balls becoming misshapen a lot and they believed some of it was due to the lack of production during lockdown and the materials deterioration whilst stored. I wonder if the same is relevant with respect to once the ball stops swinging it really is there for the batsmen to hit and get a big score 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I know England need to win but that was brainless again by Stokes. Dropped one ball, plays almost the same shot next ball and holes out this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Stokes is an absolute idiot. Fantastic catch but he is taking this aggressive game plan too far.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
