Super Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I like Bess but he does bowl too much rubbish. Not test standard yet IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 If England had a good spinner they'd be on top here. Bess looks so out of his depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 This is where England's appalling management of Bess this winter has come back to bite them on the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I have criticised Pant before based on his average wicketkeeping and what I saw as "one day" batting, but this innings is different gravy. Controlled early on when needed and now taking a very tired attack apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 And its pure ****ing luck that sees Pant get out, no skill by Root as captain. Need to skittle the last few wickets to have any chance here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is the type of session I expected to see a lot more of in this series. Washington Sundar would bat in our top three if he was English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Personally I'm looking forward to a world class run chase from our boys, although Stauss and "Ebbs!?!" have already written our chances off.. Unfair really as we almost seemed to have mastered the basics like batting and not being s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Sibley's dismissal just about sums up the game really, Crawley and Bairstow? Well I am lost for words.
