Lew-T Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Fair play… looks like it’s been England’s day… Bowling them out for 78 with our second string bowling attack is a good effort. Actually it’s a unbelievable effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Robinson, he probably wouldn’t have come in if it wasn’t for Archer being injured. He has done pretty well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 India look like they`ve run out of ideas. They`re not used to being under this sort of pressure and it shows.

Solid in defence but can put the bad ball away and is able to keep the score moving. That last bit was Sibley's main failing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 A section from an interesting article by Jonathan Liew in today's Guardian: Craig Overton takes the new ball for Somerset. Here, he had to wait until the 20th over, by which point Anderson, Ollie Robinson, Sam Curran and Moeen Ali had all had a go before him and the ball was beginning to stop swinging. He was in the side as a replacement for Mark Wood, who at his quickest can hit 94mph, and was selected ahead of Saqib Mahmood, who swings the ball both ways with skiddy, electric pace. Overton doesn’t really do that. In a way, he has a pretty unenviable job. Asked to perform a similar role that Wood does with the old ball, but 10mph slower. (His first delivery was a gentle 76mph loosener.) Asked to nip it off a good length in the same way that Robinson does, but only after everyone else has taken the shine off the ball first. And really, he’s only in the side because England have six fast bowlers injured, and will invariably have to make way for one of them soon. In the circumstances, Overton could have been forgiven for charging in at full tilt and trying to force matters. Instead, he stuck to the plan: consistent lengths, dot balls, maiden overs, a challenge with every delivery. He stuck to the plan even when nothing much was happening, when even the edges were dropping short of the slips, when Rishabh Pant danced down the pitch to him first ball after lunch and tried to smear him into the next riding. And on a sparkling day for England, it was Overton who was ultimately rewarded with three wickets and his best Test figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a unique talent and England's best ever batsman. I was looking at the figures earlier and if he goes on as long as Cook did then he could be second behind only the Little Master in terms of most Test runs scored.
