Burns and Hameed to get their heads down and England to still be batting on Friday, please. Great to see Hameed get stuck in. Still fancy him and Crawley as openers in the long run but Burns was looking in control today. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually rate Burns too, but he's the more exposed of the trio and I think we know what we get with him. Like a few we've tried, he's also a bit 'busy'.

He pulled beautifully today and looked decent against spin (normally he doesn’t). But he’s unorthodox without having the genius of say Steve Smith. Hope he gets a ton tomorrow but don’t think he’s got the technique to average 35 in tests in the long run which is not enough. Thank God Sibley’s gone tho Comrade 86 and Anag Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can learn to play later (allowing himself the opportunity to leave at the last minute) he will have more success. Always looks likely to nick off. Undoubted talent once he gets in. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hameed’s oversized pullover is annoying me. It’d be too big for Gatting. kevinhectoring and JoetheRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the radio commentary he’s been terrific today. Yes, he plugs away on a good line and length. He doesn’t make it easy for batsmen. Not quick, but uses the seam well. Pretty lucky to get Rohit out. Would have just clipped the stumps, but probably not hard enough to dislodge the bails! kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Can we chase down 368? You’d think we’d need a 160+ from Root to get anywhere near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Blocked out my day to watch the cricket. Burns and Haseem ticking along nicely and the pitch seems to be playing like a road. Big ask but certainly possible. I think Kohli might spontaneously combust if India lose this one. Things you'd love to see...

Mr Tibbs Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Some unbelievable bowling but so frustrating from a batting point of view. When the top order do their job the middle order crumble. Same old faces. Going to be a rough winter, especially after our bowling has been exposed as bang average on a flat one already. Pray for Jofra.
