Lrrr Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 If Root fails again in the second innings they may do. Doubt it, don't think they will want to admit they were wrong and after Compton gave an interview saying he wasn't given a fair chance even less likely.

kevinmabbuttshair Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 KP? Test Batsman? Good ball. Sometimes the bowler is too good. Cracking line and length to a new batsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Bairstow is one very lucky guy. Think if he hadn't been called back there would have been big questions over how often Bairstow is out playing to leg and getting bowled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Bell at it again, top batsman with another century. As for Root, should be down the order at 6 or vying for the position with Bairstow.. Compton should be given another chance of opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltfordRed Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Struggling again now. Smith bowling some excellent stuff. Hoping we can somehow make our way to about 350+ although that seems a long way off right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 361, decent score considering our start. I can see Australia batting for 2 days, great batting strip. Hopefully it'll break up a bit and swan can get it to turn & bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Will the Aussies ever learn? Crazy waste of a review by Watson. That's the sort of post I've always hoped I wouldn't ever read about sport. I just hope and pray reviews never spread to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Really not sure where the Aussies go from here. England could declare now and would win this game. When well respected pundits are saying yesterday was the worst they have seen from an Aussie team it clearly shows how pathetic the batting line up is.

When well respected pundits are saying yesterday was the worst they have seen from an Aussie team it clearly shows how pathetic the batting line up is. Ours hasn't been great mind, we've been helped out massively by our middle order, the Aussies haven't. We have a few issues, Cooks struggling for runs but I think he's a different class to anything in the Aussie side so he'll find form soon enough. Have we got enough runs already? I'd still like us to bat them well out of the game and stick them in with an hour to go tonight, give them the run around a bit. Completely knock their confidence.

The wicket is so dry, swanny is already spinning the ball at right angles. As for our to order, they just need to sort their form out and this series will be one of the most one sided ever. Root is looking nervous and edgy opening the batting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not sure if bringing Haddin back was a good move by Aussies, got runs at Trent Bridge but opted out of two catches in this test, seems past it as a keeper. Would love to see Monty in with Swanny at some point, think he got a five fer in current match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root is looking nervous and edgy opening the batting Your right, another 120 runs should do it for us, I guess I'm just mentally scarred from watching us capitulate in the past! Form/class is ok but we've given them a sniff on a few occasions when they've had no right to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
