england have 2 main line bowlers, wood and then stokes and ali... where will our 20 wickets come from?

need 5for out of broad and anderson. if its not a bang it in pitch borad is ****ed.
 
Saw interview with groundsman and said its a pitch which is there or thereabouts which suggested that it wouldn't be bad decision to do either.

Will be all down to the overhead conditions and weather over next few days.

5 days of sun on it and you wouldn't want to be batting on the last day...

unless ss the pitch is as green as kermit, should always be batting first


Callled it <whistle>

No real shocks in that England team, still a decent spinner short putting faith in Ali rather than risky Rashid

prefer a a batter who bowls a bit to a bowler that bats a bit it seems.

Notification mention Lyth out

fe sorry for him, been thrown in at the deep end a bit with only the short NZ series for him to get used to test cricket.
 
Seem to have steadied the ship a bit, need to keep these two in till lunch and knock that shine off the new ball
