Along_the_Wire Root looking good here on a flat pitch with a knackered ball mind. Looked bad earlier.
alistair Along_the_Wire fuck me, is there a more boring batter than Sibley? Painful. Root is in amazing form
vinnyt77 alistair Commentator’s curse etc etc - but yeah, Root looks in great touch at the moment. I’ve just put all of the cricket, footie and rugby games I wanna watch over the next 5-6 weeks into my and Vicki’s shared calendar. She’s not hugely impressed…
baggers44 alistair The Vicar of Sibley is exactly what we need. Playing that way he needs to bat for 2 days though
alistair baggers44 his first very good innings against spin. Still prefer Crawley and think his technique is questionable
Smallman1 Sibley has exactly the game and attitude to grind down attacks on pitches like this. Root scores quickly so his drop the anchor approach suits perfectly.
baggers44 Along_the_Wire well we thought that last time and got bowled out for 200 in the second innings
alistair Smallman1 ooh you are cheeky. I will be proved right with Sibley. His 36 average in 15 games is mediocre.
alistair England are absolutely flying and India are getting increasingly frustrated. Root still there and Stokes on the charge
vinnyt77 Woke up at 4am as have a dislocated bone in my foot. Good to have some decent cricket to keep me company…
baggers44 vinnyt77 i used to love it when the lad was v little and the cricket was on which is so much better than waiting for Cbeebies to start.
baggers44 alistair sensational - hope he’s still going like this for the Ashes. Pope should cash in here too and I’ll be a bit miffed if we don’t get 600.
vinnyt77 baggers44 My boss was saying yesterday that it’s the one part of the year where he doesn’t mind having a two year old that wakes him up at indecent times on a Saturday…
