I understand the reasoning behind the declaration - Although feels a strange one to me with your best bat still at the crease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the main opposition to it. If it had been Broad and Robinson then fair enough but Root was on fire and Robinson was looking comfortable. Another 60 looked a piece of cake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm with you i absolutely liove this approach in general but there's still got to be a line that when it's crossed its just reckless. I felt the way the 2 were batting the reward wasn't worth the risk in this case but im certainly nit going to get sngry about it. Im loving it overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Apparently, there was extremely heavy overnight rain and it's still pouring down. Almost certainly a delayed start and possibly no play before lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I hope they took a light reading in the conditions that were considered acceptable when Crawley and Duckett got out the other day. Might come in handy later. Edited June 20, 2023 by Northern Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 The later the start the fewer hours I have to take off work. I couldn’t not be there, I feel like this could be one of those ‘I was there’ moments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
