Painter Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Now.... Will England do as in the past and try to survive 2 sessions, or will the "new look" team go for it....? If its the latter, we could be in for an interesting afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Crawley 🤨 Bairstow will be the key...if he scores quickly we have a shot at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Root out 😕 Time to shut up shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Just got home and turned on.... Lees just out.... 94-4. Not sure what I'd do now, as we have quite a long tail. Plenty of time, just not enough wickets left, due to, er, top order failures. Oh.... I do know I'd give Crawley a "rest"... which probably means he'll get another go... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That top order before Root really needs sorting out, just awful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Lee's has good potential. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees has got better these last 2 matches. Think Pope will live on for a few matches based on his first innings here. But Crawley has got to go back to County cricket for a bit.... but presumably there wont be any of that in the near future, so he'll be given the next test to prove himself.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Watching the 1st ODI vs Holland,all seems a bit staid after the last test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Now watching the 3rd & final ODI vs the Dutch. It's so one sided that I wonder what is the point of it all,especially as I'm reading Jonathan Trott's book about his mental troubles at the moment.He puts a lot of it down to the ridiculously busy schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Read this before and Marcus Trescothick"s,yet their touring schedule was less than the current player's face when you include IPL,Big Bang,PSL etc. Why we need a white and red ball squad.

To be fair we have got white & red going on together at the moment I suppose. But then I've just looked at the schedule for white ball....12 matches between 7th & 31st July.

Painter Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Now Tim Southee's getting in on the act.... 21-4. Now we'll see how well Bairstow and Stokes can build a Test innings, not a white ball innings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
