Northern Red Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Amazes me how otherwise highly competent fast bowlers completely lose the plot when tailenders start playing a few shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA didn’t have a strategy of how to bowl at the tail enders - that’s what Mikey was so scathing about. It’s very surprising given that these guys are top professional cricketers.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 60-4 after a close LBW call. De Kock the only one who seems to be able to bat for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Should we have made them follow on? A tricky choice with a lead of just over 200 but I think we`ve called it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Stokes just clocked a very quick 91mph..............thats him, Wood and Archer all capable of bowling at express pace. I didn’t realise just how pacy Stokes is. No need to be concerned about who’ll fill the void when Anderson/Broad retire - in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Anderson has played his final test.

Lrrr Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Assuming we're using this thread for ODI's as well.... Classic England, pick a massively promising young prospect who opens for his county and stick him at 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Average 1st innings score at the ground 249, pitch looks dead for batting and worse with a soft ball, 3 spin options in our team could work well.

Lrrr Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Highlight for me was Bairstow appealing for an LBW instead of catching the ball slightly down leg when it was given as runs but missed de Kock's bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn’t lose the review because of ultra edge not working the umpires should have made it clear to everyone before the next ball was bowled. Plus if Bavuma had hit it I’m sure he would have called for the review immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
