That is the difference between Root and the rest When he is playing a test match he bats like a test batsman How many of the England players got out playing a One day/ T20 shot?

But, with the exception of Root, trying to bat like a test batter has resulted in consistent failure over the last few years. Let them play their expansive stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast for tomorrow is more uncertain so hopefully England will be able to take control of the match. 3 wickets before lunch would certainly help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet the groundsman get it drier than they do in county cricket.. Ha, I can’t remember precisely when, but there was a Somerset match a season or so ago, when I thought exactly the same thing. We were desperate to get back on, and the groundsmen seemed to just be idling around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Condition’s look good for bowling but I must say I’m a bit concerned with our attack, only Robinson you’d say is in his prime and the Aussie batting line up that contains the top 3 ranked batters in the world. Hope this sparks a collapse but I think they’ll pass our score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
