Red Army 75 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 1 minute ago, Lrrr said: I don’t know what you mean, Root is a spin bowler who bats part time Certainly seems that way on these wickets. The wickets in Sri Lanka were so much better. And your typical sub continent wicket. These are a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Rather a pitch like this than the pitches in Australia that are so flat it would make a snooker table blush. Still believe that English pitches are the best...if only the 5 days were a cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I was intending to post that Bairstow's shot was both pathetic and irresponsible, given the context of the match (the second session of the second day!), and that his review was selfish. Luckily, I was too slow to post, although I maintain my view on the shot itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’m going to go against the grain here, but I think batting aggressively is the right way to go here. Only Root is good enough to really back his defensive game on here, so the rest should just counter attack and try and get as many as they can before they get out to be honest. Don’t see any success coming from poking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
