It may be 'part of the game' but the thing is we produce good pitches so doesn't really matter for us having a toss, its the countries who produce pitches which are heavily favourable, allowing the away team the choice will ensure a better quality of pitch all round.

During the crushing Ashes defeat in Oz England won the toss 4 out of 5 times but still lost........I do get your point tho about better balanced pitches overseas.

More sub-continent is where I'm thinking, maybe Caribbean too is more where I'm thinking.

Far improved on catching and fielding too from any Pakistan touring side I've seen. Their past? Natural talent and flair with bowling, yet sluggish fielding and comical dropped catches- was part of their MO tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for this game, we need- and Broad especially- need to make the batsmen play more- conditions are fairly favourable for bowling it seems, need to get a few tonight ideally...still it's below par 184 IMO.

EmissionImpossible Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Bess looks decent, hopefully give it a bit more of a rip as the game goes on. Another wicket before or just after lunch would make things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 So why do we think bowling short is a good idea when Pakistan showed them how to bowl by pitching it up! Not the first time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'd actually quite like to see Pakistan bat for about a week here, really show up our shower for what they are. Pathetic white ball-obsessed frauds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
