B1ackbird Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Ah I see why he's there now, to carry the drinks, not considered a bowler but an all rounder,... TBF no Somerset player should be selected if Gareth Batty,s available anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone other than Eoin Morgan consider him an all-rounder in the mould of Stokes etc? My impression was that he's a bowler whose batting is respectable enough, ala Jordan, Willey etc rather than a genuine all-rounder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Cook out. Incidentally, Blowers- this is his final Summer of Test cricket, after this summer he will no longer be on TMS. TMS will be poorer without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Difficult call about that Jennings decision, with the fact he's been given out the ball only has to flick the stump for it to stay out, so I don't think you can really blame Jennings for not reviewing it. If it had clipped fractionally he'd probably have got done for wasting a review instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I have had literally no confidence in any England opener since Strauss retired. Cook has not been the same player he was with Strauss and we've tried so many partners for him I've lost count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this pitch is a typical lords one with a bit of mischief early on first day. Playing for your county and playing international test cricket are vastly different. The theme of the last few years of England's test team has been how our lower middle order and tail-enders have saved us. The Aussies will have a field day if we keep getting 20-2 or 30-3 as we so regularly do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the ball pitched outside leg should be something a batsman is aware of & once you know it's pitched outside leg you appeal all day long because you're not out, end of!! Irrelevant if it's clipping the wickets or smashing them all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was half a seam from being inline, in the split second Jennings had to react to the ball its very hard for him to know that its pitched half a seam outside the line, all the ball had to do with be a fraction further over and hit the stump by the smallest amount and he'd have stayed out. Blame if anything lies with Ballance as he should have given him the biggest indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
