Globe Trotter Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Nice to wake up to something a little more positive! If Robinson can work on his fitness he can lead the attack for the next 6 or 7 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Aussies ahead of the game now in my opinion. England won’t be beating whatever Aussies post in this innings and we are batting last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 The ball has softened and therefore the bowlers aren’t getting the same bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 The bowling department looked so fragile, with Robinson going off with a back spasm or something I couldn’t help wondering why Overton hasn’t even been mentioned unless I’ve missed it. Couldnt they have given Pope the gloves and played Overton? Accurate, can hold and end up, has got Smith out before, good fielder, can bat…….

tin Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 On 14/01/2022 at 06:40, Northern Red said: SA are over here in the summer, so it's unlikely. SA have passed 300 two or three times in their last 30 Test innings, so I expect it to be a low-scoring series dominated by the ball. 3 hours ago, Lanterne Rouge said: Burns run out but not his fault in this instance. Burns didn’t even dive and could’ve said no! A soft dismissal that set the tone for the latest collapse. A big part of opening the batting at any level is about trusting your partner and knowing their game. How can we do that when this is our third opening partnership of the series?
