Hales double at Derby. I reckon he'll be in Eng's middle order soon..
|
|
By:
is Derby county a part of London?
|
|
By:
div 2 runs, especially v derby, count for feck all really (or certainly should do)

no ECE, midlands

Like to see Faf Nail his Ton as he too along with Hash extracted me.

By:
ok

england rarely go back to a player they've tried before unless your name is gary ballance
|
|
By:
I'm for Halesy being given another go.
 |
|
By:
250 runs and 23 wickets and counting in a 4 match series. can't be many better all round performances ever
if you say a wicket's worth 25 runs would be like a batsman getting 800 runs |

moeen has had a great series mafe with both bat & ball
finally getting credit for his talents as well which is good to see |
|
By:
Incredible mafe. And his runs often come at a tempo that changes the game.
As for Hales, looking ahead to Australia, the batting lineup is quite a mess. Why was Mo dropped to 8 and JB to 7 to accomodate a debutant in Malan? I'm all for Hales batting at 8. |

By:
hales batting at 8 is a different ball game, thought you were suggesting a swap for jennings
neither the jennings or hales experiment has worked |
|
By:
ali often steps up and gets you runs or wickets at a time of need too
|
|
By:
only thing is do we need another shot maker in the lower middle order??
we need solid players who can see off the new ball at the start of the innings so that the platform is not 50/3 |
|
By:
I think they'll give Stoneman a go and stick with Westley at 3 unless Bayliss can get his way for Root to bat there.
Westley's dismisals are a worry. Amazing how county cricket fails to expose these flaws. With JB, Stokes and Mo all able to bat in the top 7 there's a free hit at 8 with Hales or A.N. Other. It's an incredible luxury. Woakes could come in for TRJ and the batting gets even better. |
|
By:
haven't seen a lot of stoneman to comment but a change must be made for jennings
personally I would give westley time and he deserves the WI series to showcase his skills woakes is an automatic pick when fit, 1 of the 1st names on the team sheet for me |

stoneman root westley bairstow stokes moeen hales woakes broad anderson not a bad team  woakes 9 is an insult btw |

SA 200 runs or more matched at odds of 1.01 in danger
|

By:
Love it how wickets tumble after a partnership. Goes to show how hard batting is.
Some team you've got there wonders!! So many quicks to choose from too. TRJ, Ball, Wood.. Still like Plunkers, especially on Aussie pitches.. |
|
By:
toby was amazing at the oval but has been expensive and generally quite ineffective this test
even his amla wicket was with the rankest ball amla will ever get out to |

AB needs to look in the mirror, going on twitter with "Let's get behind @faf1307 and the boys. "

Been a very poor series this!
|
|
By:
I've enjoyed it
|

By:
jimbob again
|
|
By:
Despite today I'm well in loss over the 4, that has probably coloured my view.
|
|
By:
root has to bat 3 while we have seemingly no other players capable of batting in the top 3. bayliss should tell him he must do it
bairstow far too low at 7 too. he's one of our top 3 bats and could easily have been stranded on 60 not out on saturday at the moment our batting doesn't really start until 6. incredible we're still pretty successful with doubts over 3 of the top 6 for 3 years now. does show how incredibly strong we are from 4 to 9 |

By:
Maharaj has seen his stock rise!

|
By:
what would your 11 be mafe/anyone else assuming all players fit??
|
|
By:
the best batsman in any test match side should take the number 3 spot. Root should bat at 3
|
|
By:
163-3 to 201-9
|
|
By:
all over in treble quick time
|

By:
the rankings are a farce. this is a poor south african side certainly as far as their batting goes. big 100 stand here and still only creep past 200
cook hameed root westley bairstow stokes buttler moeen woakes broad anderson don't care that hameed has hardly got a run this season. county form doesn't seem to matter much given the hopeless efforts of the likes of ballance and jennings. looked class in india. would give him the 3 windies tests which should be fairly gentle to find some form. buttler's too good just to play 1 day cricket. tell him to just smash. been playing too carefully in recent outings for the test side |
|
By:
Bring on the Windies!......superficially looks like a complete & utter mismatch that. Hoping Eng rest players to make it slightly more competitive.

By:
england 3-0 will be scraping odds against at best unless there is some diabolical weather around for 1 of the tests (possible given the time of year)
