Very early in his innings but Jennings looks like a completely different batsman to the guy that was last in the England side... Still not massive foot movement but the front leg coming towards the ball and bending into the shot makes him look so much smoother.

And it looked like the square leg ump told him not to push his front leg to far down the pitch

Clear sky's batting is much easier

Our openers have put on a partnership of 50. What?

He seemed very early on it, surely he could have dropped his hands

Stupid rule, some umpires trying to bring it into the amateur game too, how many time you see a batsmen encroach on the danger area?

I thought I saw that in 1st Test.

Feel pretty sorry for Mark Wood, whilst I don't rate his 'pace' as extraordinary after seeing how inept Sam Curran was, Wood must be really disappointed. Before you Surrey hardliners start crying even England legend Bob Willis said Curran was dreadful

Calzehbhoy · « **Reply #477 on:** June 02, 2018, 08:48:30 AM »

Curran wasn�t great until about his 4th over when he settled down.

It was his first test and he was bound to be nervous.

I though he warmed up to the task quite well and is about 3-5mph away from being a serious threat. If he stays fit and keeps working he will be a serious bowler for England!

Remember Starc in his first tour of England, now look at him!

Bats_Entertainment · « **Reply #478 on:** June 02, 2018, 08:58:02 AM »

Not ready?

Sam's a massively talented 19 year-old. Not a Test match bowler.

Those of you surprised at the pace he bowls had obviously never even seen him before you started shouting his name authoritively.

I think the TV pundits were saying Wood being dumped for this match is pretty poor. If it's Woakes or Wood(first test selection) I would have Woakes myself.

Now come th second test after being asked to brainlessly bang it in halfway down he is dropped.
If England play wood instead of Curran we have similar bowlers so maybe that's the thinking.

Personally I think selection has been all over the shop for 12 months and continues to be.

If wood was good enough for the last match why isn't he good enough now? We need variety in the bowling but only if you have a better bowler to replace it with.
