Lrrr Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Just now, TomF said: Nope especially given he’s ill too. Basically De Kock’s knock was the difference first innings. We’ve got to bat more like that first up. Bairstow should be out of test squad for good now and likes of Pope and Foakes need to be considered Pope should be well enough for 2nd test, have to wonder whether Bairstow would have played if Pope was well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't drop someone after 18 months of poor form and obvious technical deficiencies only to recall them 2 matches later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ackbird Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Get Jack Leech in, give him two overs and if he's not Graham Swan, get rid and Bess also. Give Bairstow another 106 chances to impress because he's Joe's mate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We trailed by 103 runs on 1st innings and ended up losing the match by 107. There's your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's to do with player welfare, although most people are unconvinced by that. The venues budget for matches going 4 days, their ideal scenario is a finish sometime after tea on Day 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a suggestion, 4 day tests that have to see 90 overs a day, if 90 overs a day aren't played it goes into a 5th day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Has to be 90 overs a day, can’t remember last time played in a 90 over day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
