Lrrr Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Weird how Bashir gets approved the day before the first test, as if we’d applied a couple of days earlier he’d have been able to fly with everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumble came on saying that the entire squad should not have gone without Bashir and Simon Jordan disagreed with him. Bumble is such and amusing guy and joked that he was having a row with SJ live on TalkSport. SJ laughed and said, ‘no we’re agreeing to disagree’ Anyone know why Bumble is no longer working with Sky?

TonyTonyTony Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Why is Stokes not able to bowl this series? I thought the operation was to enable him to bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 All pretty predictable. I doubt we'll make over 300 in the whole series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he wants to 100% surer that his injuries will hold up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Probably better than I expected to end up when we were 5/6 down, but now the bowlers have to really step up. So far , not so impressed, early though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Don’t want to be too harsh on Hartley, but Simon Kerrigan only went for 53 off his first 8 overs in test cricket and he was literally never allowed to bowl another ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was all over the place but he wasn't really helped by the Captain. It was obvious that there should have been a few warm up games to get these bowlers familiar with conditions. It's a difficult enough task for experienced players. What's the saying again Fail to Prepare - Prepare to Fail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
