ralphindevon Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Jimmy’s got to strike early for me, usually I’m patient but we can’t be waiting as long as the first innings for him to strike. Or Broad to get Warner nice and early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Bit unfair on Bairstow really. His keeping has been excellent for England. It’s a bad test from someone who hasn’t kept for nearly a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still play a specialist Keeper every time. Been harsh on Foakes too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bad test from someone who hasn’t kept for nearly a year. Should we be picking players that aren't ready for test cricket? We dont have time to play players into form. Same as Moeen, though replacements for him are slim admittedly. Could he have played in the last Yorkshire game maybe? Love Bairstow but asking him to keep in an Ashes test clearly under prepared seems odd to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glaring errors are not in selection but our approach to batting on a road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glaring errors are not in selection but our approach to batting on a road Yeah at the end of the day we’re debating because that’s what the forum is for but none of us really know all the ins and outs. Plus we’re using hindsight, I’d have been quiet about Foakes if Bairstow had kept as well as he can admittedly. As for the test overall, I’m a fan of Bazball but there has to be a time when you look at the game and do what’s best to win the test at that moment and I don’t think we’ve executed those skills well enough in this test.

Jose Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 We were well short in that second innings. The pitch is offering nothing. Plenty got in and didn’t push on. That’s cost us unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I get whacking it everywhere if you are batting on a mine of a wicket where one ball could have your name on it at any point. But sometimes you just have to play proper cricket shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Needed that but overall it’s not looking good. As predicted Moeen doesn’t look like he’ll bowl many now his finger has opened up, Root warming up needs one of his magic spell’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
