Bairstowe will be disappointed to be out LBW on 99 sweeping when he had a good stride in. He really managed his innings well . Yes he looked distraught, can understand why he went for it with Jimmy at the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oomarkwright Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Yes but as Boyks said he only needed an easy single to long on. Let's hope Jimmy gets a fiv'fer this morning. His first at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crane looks to be a good prospect - a 20 year old leggie who's beginning to put in some decent performances in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Crane aside, is it not a worry that the players coming into the side are 28 plus - Westley, Stoneman, Roland-Jones and Malan - where are the young players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. The optimum age for pretty well any test cricketer is over 30. I did some statistical analysis a long time ago which seemed to indicate that the magic number seemed to be 33 for bowlers and batsmen in general, and a little higher for both wicketkeepers and spin bowlers. Young players (i.e. under 21) do break through, and they seem to be breaking through earlier these days owing to an expansion of national and international tournaments, but that tendency seems to be predominantly skewed towards one-day cricket.

I've not heard of most of their team. In fact, there was at least one name I swear I heard for the first time only when he was out in the second innings. Light years away from Richards, Marshall, Greenidge, Haynes et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Not sure what can be done about it. Gayle and co earn too much money in the IPL to be interested and there are now other sports in the West Indies which take precedence. Even when they have had or batting sides in the past they at least had fast bowlers. I think Paul Collingwood could get into this side as a bowler! Really sad and confirmation that simply playing for your country is not a source of pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
