Bob Taylor would do better than him now and he’s in his 80’s As a batter I'd pick him, As a wicket keeper then Foakes is your man, No good scoring 78 then going on a walkabout or dropping a regular catch/stumping cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Root takes some beauties but drops some sitters. Hands aren’t relaxed. Too tense. Bairstow has to anticipate quicker as he doesn’t have Foakes’ reach. I worry that after Lords and his dropped catches, he will be too hyped up when he comes to bat. The Aussies will certainly be chirping at him. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has cricket changed in the centuries since then 🤔 Did you wear your top hat to matches back then too 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never believed he would ever be caught out. That was back when a woman knew her place - scullery by day, bedroom by night. Sweet times. Nanny, fetch my blanket. I need some thumb-sucking contemplation time. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Another first innings getting away from England when they should be in the box seat. There's a lot of truth in the saying 'catches win matches' and England are not clinging on to the chances they've been given. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Amazing how England's catching has worsened since their between match practice has been replaced by golf. In other news Mitch Marsh now has 3 test centuries in 33 matches, of which only 3 of the centuries were scored against England 🙄 Edited July 6, 2023 by Carnero RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 You know in the "England choose to bat timeline" it's 7-189. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKRam Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Ok he was dropped early but got to hand it to the fella that was a punishment. Brutal innings, we have to regain control here. 300 I’ll be quite happy with. 350 I think we may have a problem control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrycav81 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Bloody hell Roots held one was just about to go off on one about the Carey drop Our fielding as been crap we’ve dropped four different batsmen today it’s cost us about 150 runs so far and whatever Carey makes above 4 its not good enough Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
