Chang_Paarp Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Bairstow gets a century in the last over of the day, a well deserved milestone. Bairstow finishes the day with 103. England 7 / 258 end of the day, did not think they would make anywhere near that score earlier in the day. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Ollie Pope a 'keeper? Better off with Surrey's Ben Foakes or Middlesex's John Simpson. Both good red ball cricketers, and Foakes already has a test century. Both average over 30 in first class cricket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they had to go with whoever is actually in Australia at the moment, as, of course, they very sensibly sent the A team back to England weeks ago... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I'm very impressed with the newer bowler's in the team. Boland looks like he's making himself undroppable. Takes lots of wickets and gives nothing away. Anderson levels of stinginess in his averages. Think Green has bowled superbly and been unlucky. Stokes stumps getting hit but the bails staying on for example. Always looks threatening and difficult to score from. And Richardson who ended up taking 5 for then not being available for the next test. Looked very good as well. That's some pretty impressive replacements for the regular guys and gives Australia the luxury of not having to overwork them by playing them every match. We are relying on 2 bowler's with a combined age of 74 to do the lion's share of the wicket taking. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia bring in players who get 6 for 7, or score 2 hundreds in a match. England's replacements get none for a lot, or score less than 10 in a match! There's only going to be one winner.... englands best hope is to survive a full day. If we don't, let's blame two broken fingers and a side muscle.... Our team for the next test is going to be interesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_Paarp Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The commentators were talking about how that 46 was twice the highest first wicket score when Hameed holed out for 9 after being dropped earlier. England 1 / 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
