Yeah,take the point mate. Not sure I'd agree with your ex boss,there was so much time left....we didn't need to force it. Just knock the bad ball,leave the others.
How do you leave them when most are hitting the stumps? Not sure I saw many bad balls either this morning
Mmm...maybe leave wasn't the right word...perhaps I meant knocking down the good ball and looking to score off the bad. Intelligent batting was what I had in mind. So,a day and a half....what 130 overs...to get 250....2 an over.
Interesting choosing three spinners...they must be confident Ben can manage a fair few overs,think he only bowled 10 in the last match. Mind you,I suppose a lot hinges on who wins the toss.
Be over in 3 days. Pakistan 30 overs and only used 2 bowlers. Says it all. Anyway we are top of the league so, Meh.
Strange post. We won the toss! There's a reason why it's called a Test Match. They must surely know that reverse sweeps and other cross bat shots,don't cut it on a wicket like this.
Whys it strange? Any wicket that spins this much on the morning of day 1, in my very humble opinion, is not fit as a test wicket. Usually, on a morning 4 bowlers are used. Not required today.
