alistair Smallman1 before you do that, why not try him at opener. Unless you have got someone else in mind!
rhouses Massive catch from Jos to get Smith and his spirits up. Poor fella looks like he’s been weeping all night.
rhouses alistair Not making excuses for my boy Has, but he’s a youngin playing his first Ashes, and the supposedly experienced bloke/chav at the other end isn’t really instilling any confidence. Having said that, he’s no Shubman Gill/Prithvi Shaw.
rhouses alistair my mind said Malan, my heart said Hameed, and I’ve paid the price for it. Do you guys have fantasy 11 for cricket?
Hank_Solo Bizarre to wake up at the mid session interval not to hear the TMS team wrapping up their coverage. Buttler and Woakes showing some grit against the new ball. Not getting excited until the last hour of play though…..
alistair Fair play to Buttler, a guy who can score 100 in less than 50 balls playing such a disciplined, rearguard innings. Not only is he a much better stroke player than Hameed and Burns, he has a more solid technique/defence
baggers44 alistair he can’t catch - well not consistently - i can not remember an English wicketkeeper of my youth ever dropping a routine chance - knott, taylor, downton - even the gaffer who was a bit dodgy to spinners usually caught them.
Hank_Solo I’d give Folkes a shot against any other team, but going green into the boxing day test down under is the worst possible baptism of fire. I’d drop Silverwood.
Along_the_Wire Hank_Solo I’d give Folkes a shot We should’ve done that against India when we knew Burns and Selby weren’t the answer. It really fucking winds me up
rhouses I’ve been hearing we’re prepping for the ashes all year and this is the abomination we get from England. Silverwood needs to go.
Mad_Cyril vinnyt77 I hope you swiftly slapped yourself around the face with a wet fish before you got any worse?
