Absolutely mate. I'm glad everything is OK with their little one. Same here with complications tbh and we never get the full story (and nor should we in some cases ) hope mam, dad and bay Kholi are doing fine and the youngster doesn't take after the old man at cricket.

 

You mean being very gifted but an absolute arsehole?

 

What do people think of this umpire review thing that Stokes has brought up

If it shows its missing how can they stick with the umpires call of out????????????????????????????

 

Get rid of umpire's call. If it's hitting, it's out

 

Personally I’d drop Joe Root. He’s been utterly terrible recently

 

So has Bairstow, not the same since his injury. Brook should come back in when ready but it will be interesting to see who drops out. I agree that we need more from Root but I think they will stick with him.

 

Been some rally good games in this PSL so far. Roy looks in great nick. Babar and Rizwan also look good. Enjoyed the SA20 and the BBL as well. Roll on the Blast. Hoping to get to a couple of Dunham T20 games as well as long as the bairn doesn't have a match.

 

FFS 112 for 4

 

5, pitch is rotten

 

Root and Foakes pulling it back. Seems to be fewer demons when we bat normally...

 

Nice review Rohit. All 3 burned now

 

I suppose its a good job you arent picking the side

Majestic hundred from Root and a welcome return to form.

 

we will win this

 

India still to bat but hopefully we come out tomorrow and fire some quick runs in and the wicket starts to detoriate rapidly. Cracking score from where they were at lunch. Be nice to get 350-400 if possible and hopefully only bat once.

 

Quick Marcus, say you’d drop all the bowlers selected for this test

 

I reckon we will end up with around 330. If Root gets out early (which tends to happen when resuming again the next day after a big score the previous day)...
Would be over the moon with 350 though.
112 for 5 is poor and I wish we would stop losing wickets in quick succession.

 

Did you see the way the pitch was behaving in the 1st session? Only Bairstow played a bad shot.

 

Ha!
