Think that’s very unfair. England best off getting runs at both ends, and I say that with far too much green stuck on the draw. Once you’re 150 on just score fast.

just play properly and leave/defend
buttler can play T20 mode at the other end

Have risked going slightly red results, on the pretext that the track and overheads look suited for batting and that 22 was too high to turn down but really because I’m a compulsive follower of the draw up, both when it’s sensible and when, like now, it isn’t.

That’s just hindsight, I’m afraid. If he’d scored a quick 30 (he’d already played himself in), that would have been just fine. He’s a fairly capable hitter. Highly unlikely to affect the result either way though.

how is it hindsight when I've said it before his innings??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If he’d scored a quick 30 (he’d already played himself in), that would have been just fine. He’s a fairly capable hitter
how many times has he done this please?

other than that monstrosity of a pitch @ the MCG

he is far more likely to play and miss a few times, hit a couple of shots and then get out for a single figure score in v little time
thus not allowing buttler to freely score at the other end

so we will agree to disagree on all your points, bar the bit about the result

Bess and Curran look very confident out there, would be nice if we could give some of the younger batters a chance too

yep agree

and it goes back to what I posted the other day about contracting players

it needs to made v clear to players from a young age, either you are a (potential) england player or you are a (potential) T20 globetrotter

make your choice now...come and be an england player you are v welcome, you wanna be a T20 globetrotter that's fine as well feck off coz all doors are shut

they are already better players imo but certainly in time livingstone (lancs), clarke (worcs), lawrence (essex) etc will show everybody they are better players than the likes of malan

Yep Bess and the young Curran look like they could be decent batters. Unlikely Curran will be quick enough to be a front line strike bowler.

They looked confident and assured, moreso than any of the new batters we've tried recently.
Maybe it's an age thing? Tom Curran had the same attitude even tho he's far below test match level quality (at the moment)

Thrown some money at the run lines. the ball is not swinging as much as the first two sessions of the match. If they manage to bat long enough the ball will get softer and they should get 200 and I am in for quids! Scratched some of my loss back on Zverev! Grant would be proud. Is the pitch now a road?

Grant how do we feel about Sloane Stevens?
