16.5 degrees in my lounge. come on england!
Agreed. Although others would argue it’s the batting style that got us the win in the the 1st test.Some reckless shots being played. They need to show this bowler a bit more respect. 5 for on debut already.
Yeah I get that. It’s the way they want to play so maybe we need to get used to it. It’s just jarring when you lose a couple of quick wickets to elaborate shots.Agreed. Although others would argue it’s the batting style that got us the win in the the 1st test.
Either way, guaranteed this team is going to divide opinion at times, especially on mornings like this one!
Yeah, my natural impulse would be to bat it out until Lunch.Yeah I get that. It’s the way they want to play so maybe we need to get used to it. It’s just jarring when you lose a couple of quick wickets to elaborate shots.
Sometimes you still need to take a small step back then go again when set.
Can’t say it’s not interesting though
Apparently so - last bowler to take the first four English wickets in a test was one Shane Warne in 2005.Debut test, taken the first 5 wickets. Surely that's a record??
