Alex 30336 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Makes sense not to enforce the follow-on usually as it’s often the only way to give the opposition a chance. Absolutely the correct thing to do here though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Our bowling got a bit ragged to the final pair there but it's been a superb test for us. Pope looks like he's going to be a real class player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 We’ve got options in the bowling department like we haven’t had for a long time. If only wood could stay fit. I’d love to see him bowl alongside archer in the next ashes series. With pace like that, we might stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 They’re still quality bowlers. Not quite as effective down under where they both average north of 35. We had no genuine pace in the last squad to tour Australia. Now we’ve got two who can bowl 90+mph to compliment the swing bowlers. Pope looks the real deal too. Then you have Sibley and Burns, who look more promising than many of the recent experiments at the top of the order. 5-0 away series win, I reckon.

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Poor shot from Root, no foot movement at all, as he nicks one to de kock, failing to convert yet another 50. Then Curran gets himself out playing a horrible drive first ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) No need to go flashing that far outside off stump first ball from Curran. V poor from him. Buttler “plying for his test career”, according to Farbrace, at the other end. game on Edited January 25, 2020 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30336 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 The tail wagged big style as it has done so often in recent years but this time the solid start meant it carried us to 400 nor just a half decent total. This batting lineup is starting to look the part. Especially as Burns will come back into the reckoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Still question marks over Denly at 3, who makes lots of 20s and Buttler as WK/batsman, when Foakes is surely going to get another chance at some point. But the young openers both look like they understand how to bat in tests. And Pope is an exciting prospect at number 6. With Burns to come back it’s all very positive.
