No fair point, it just comes with the territory I suppose. If a Cardiff player kept scoring against us and then failed miserably playing for Wales v England we’d be loving it, he might be a top bloke though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA completely misread the pitch and got their selection totally wrong. So pleased to see Foakes get his second Test ton (I saw his first on debut in Galle coincidentally). Both he and Stokes coped with the conditions the best and made hay while the sun shon. I wouldn’t fancy chasing much, so fingers crossed we keep the ball reversing and get the innings win today. Foakes was excellent with a ton and seven dismissals. Jimmy having one of his best summers aged 40 is quite incredible. Going by his post-match interview, no intention of retiring anytime soon either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just read your post, and I am extremely envious that you managed to take in a Test at Galle. I visited several years ago, but unfortunately outside of the cricket season A beautiful town and it seems an absolutely idyllic venue for a cricket match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Kind of SA to help make a 3 day game exciting, although it will fuel Vaughan’s 4 day test campaign. and fair play unless today has been really lucky from him my skepticism on Pope at 3 from when it was first announced seems to have been wrong Edited September 10, 2022 by Lrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have been posting 300 Obviously playing such a sensible, mature innings last time bored him, so he's gone back to batting like a moron.

Northern Red Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Just now, TomF said: Fine if we’re 300/5 but yeah not the time to throw the bat. We should have been thinking batting till lunch/tea tomorrow Yeah, we won inside 3 days last time by doing exactly that - bowl them out cheaply then bat normally for a day or so to get a good lead, then bowl them out cheaply again. We got the first bit right again today, but for some reason they've decided they need to do it quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 England got it very wrong with the bat. Trying to bat for 60 overs to get to 280 but had time to take 80 overs to get there no problem. Now the first innings lead will be about 100 on a wicket that will probably be better to bat on today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just needed to bat properly yesterday and for about half of today and they'd have a 150-200 run lead no bother. But no, the need to be aggressive won out.
