Although my psychic prism suggests they'll get to under 100 required and think "yey we can do this" and immediately collapse. Although I have to admit, i did enjoy how much England's first innings upset Geoff Boycott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 2 hours!!!! in the days when Test matches were on the BBC and Jim Laker and Richie Benaud were the commentators, must have been around around 1980. Thing was - even with Geoffrey's tactics we didn't win many so I don't know why his views get given so much air time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 there are 5 sessions to get 100 ffs. Absolutely no way you need to be taking chancey singles. Someone should give Buttler a massive bollocking cos that could just be the game up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 in my anger I suggest dropping Roy, Buttler, Woakes and Bairstow. Retain Root as long as nobody let’s him be captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
