AndyinLiverpool Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Andrew Strauss: A crucial wicket at just the right time. Me: No, the right time was an hour ago. Mr Tibbs, rynny and kevinhectoring 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I don't really care that we've gone with an extra seamer, that decision won't lose us the match. A first innings of 112 will. We could have picked 5 spinners but if we can't put a good total on vs this India side it won't matter a great deal! kevinhectoring and AndyinLiverpool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Have to say I share the concerns about our openers. If we had even a vague facsimile of Strauss and Cook in their pomp then we'd be the number 1 team on the planet but too often our middle order is exposed far too early. Equally, I do occasionally wonder about our selectors. I really can't fathom their thought processes sometimes, though I concede that they'd obviously know a deal more than I do about what is required. That said, I'd love to hear the thinking behind some of their calls so I could at least understand what the idea was. A last thought is for the umpiring in this series. Sour grapes no doubt, but some of it has been nothing short of disgraceful. I grow tired of there being one rule for India and another altogether for everyone else.

rynny Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Leach gets Rahane lbw, not sure it was tbh, don't think it hit him in line. Edit: just showed ball tracker, umpire's call, that was close, and surprisingly no review used. Edited February 25, 2021 by rynny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Call me old fashioned but to me a test pitch shouldn't throw up clouds of dust and keep low in the first session of day 2. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
