To say Hales is shit is abit harsh Say he is not good enough to be a test opener is one thing Shit is another PS Apart from having a famous name How did Compton get into the side in the first place Not for hitting loads of runs or having a good ave in county cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following seasons he hit 1200 and 1100 odd before moving back to Middlesex. He averages just under 43 in first class cricket. He's what England need amongst so many quicker players, some one who can hold the innings together and deal with the new ball. Once again today he saw off the initial thrust of the seamers allowing the likes of Root to play freer later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell averaged 25 in 24 innings, can hardly consider himself unlucky to be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 28, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Gutted that I am working everyday for this test, was driving round High Wycombe today trying to get a DAB signal on the car radio to listen to it, England need to push on and win it from here.

Trescothick wouldn't have started when he did. Some players better at Test cricket than County Championship. Vaughan another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 136 - 4 at stumps. All day tomorrow to get six wickets which should be doable. If we can get AB out then we`re into the tail and SA looking like they`re just out to defend to save the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good toss to win. England will want to bat SA out of the game in the first innings. Somewhere around 550-600 would do. The fact that Steyn is injured obviously helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
