All Bairstow's fault, this

Buttler misses a straight one. Ali would be useful right now

It�s not a concern really because the likes of malan have techniques and mentalities for multi format Cricket. It�s rare to find players capable of being technically good enough whilst also play limited overs cricket. Just look through people and you�ll find the flaws. Baring in mind white ball stuff now is different from white ball 5 years ago so players got away with more historically.

It is what it is, we either invest in producing players primarily for red ball or we accept limited overs produces brilliant ball striking but does limit your technical and mental ability generally (always exceptions)

Joe Clarke has flaws just like malan. He may come good.. he may just be abother that is found out.. Jennings again nicked off for not many but got lucky for example.. same flaw as before

I would agree that there are exceptional ball strikers like Alex Hales, Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan who excel at limited overs format but are can be exposed in red ball cricket. Then there are guys like Ballance and Malan who could be called multi format cricketers only on the sense that they don't particular stand out in any format of the international game. In Malan's case, I can't see anything about his technical issues against the red ball which would be a strength in the limited overs game.

A little harsh. It�s still not a disaster for englsnd as buttler is a pure luxury player anyway. A lot rests on the tail just hanging in with stokes and stokes playing a long test class innings rather than just biffing

Didn't understand the Malan selection should have gone with Ali wouldn't have lost much with the bat also more chance of taking 20 wickets

Me neither. Ali compares favourably with Malan with the bat, let alone the option he brings as a second spinner

He made that call. There should be no such thing as a luxury player in test cricket either.

What would you take as a 1st innings score now?

Well he�s hardly there for his test match batting .. and he doesn�t keep.. doesn�t bowl.. he�s there to provide explosive hitting if englsnd can get a good platform. Which englsnd today could have done but have had a middle order brain fart.

Believe it or not, having buttler at 7 is awesome .. IF we had six genuine test quality bats ahead of him to provide that consistent platform to launch from. The flaky ness and inconsistency of our top six batters is why buttler is currently a luxury

400is still on. Just needs sensible test match Cricket

csnew · « **Reply #236 on:** August 01, 2018, 04:33:50 PM »

Tame from stokes, all hopes gone this innings. New ball due too, can�t see them making 280

ProCricketer1982 · « **Reply #237 on:** August 01, 2018, 04:34:09 PM »

Umm.. stokes...

Yeah..

That�s bloody poor for someone who seems to be touted as a test top six batter. Too aggressive . Just stop it .. why does it have to always go for a run a ball ffs .. it�s not bloody white ball

Of course, he question is should kohli face a disciplinary as he gave a send off ?

Disciplinary action for blowing kisses or mike drop? People get away with much worse.
It just adds little spice to the game.

Englands cricket is the type of cricket that loses test matches Jennings plays on Bairstow chops on Root run out
