LFC Cricket Bashing Thread

Optimistic? I said before it started that we would win with ease and I've not deterred from that stance

 

?

 

100 for Bell.

 

Please tell me how we can let a **** cricketer like Steve smith look like warne? 3-16 and he's crap

 

Good days cricket,evenly poised I think.

 

love it..... either england will frustrate them and set 350 or auusie will kick on... you just can't tell

 

Nice start. Good to see Bresnan proving his worth with the bat, definitely worth picking him ahead of Finn.

 

outscored Root

 

The pro's use what they are paid to use.

Otherwise golf clubs are like anything else in this world. I think it's widely accepted that Mercedes Benz manufacture better cars than Vauxhall but it doesn't mean everyone drives a Merc.

Titleist are recoginsed as the pre eminent gold club manufacturers. It doesn't mean the likes of Taylor Made etc. are **** though of course.

This can reconvene on the tedius golf thread when you're back, we're boring the other chaps.

 

That's irrelevant, the question is would Compton have outscored Root. Root was put in to open because the present incumbent could not score runs against a very average New Zealand.

It was the correct decision.

 

compton did alright in the warm up games vs the aussies.

 

decent ish total in the end. considering the impressive start root gave us.

 

Needed that wicket change the moods of the two dressing rooms at lunch

 

Aussies are seriously clueless when it comes to DRS!

 

the guy should have known he nicked it and walked. batting sides need real sensible use of the system where someone like watson or clarke know they have a review and frankly the rest are told... don't bloody waste it.

Can't believe they sued them all up again.

 

So?

He also got zero yesterday. Not exactly a man in form so not really time to think Root should be dropped before he's even been given half a chance.

Compton, who is not international class and has major flaws to his technique, was playing **** for the England side so had to be dropped, now it's Root's (who is and doesn't, bar lack of experience) turn and if he does **** second innings and next test he will I suppose also be dropped. Ujntil then three innings doesn't constitute proof he's not up to it.

I'd love to hear who you think should open instead?

 

I'd try trott. he is basically opening anyway as he is out there within about 5 overs.

 

Trott is a number 3.

Good one too. So, you play Trott at opener, who plays three?

 

root.

 

Ahh, play an No.3 at opener and an opener at three, I got you.




Or how about just giving the new opener a chance?
