I have been listening to TMS and seen the majority of the dismissals on the BBC website.
Firstly i will say that Tim Murtagh is one of the finest exponents of bowling at Lords.
However, there are some absolutely atrocious and embarrassing shots there.
Roy - that's a good ball to get early doors on debut that he has to play at, my worry is that he is really pushing at the ball with his hands which isn't the way to go opening up. But he is going to be opening in the Ashes so we have to back him all the way.
Burns - why is he playing at that!! is it that technique? as a LH he has to be better than that at knowing where his stumps are!
Bairstow - it's getting a bit ridiculous how many times he's getting done through the gate with a red ball!
Denly - looked like he was done for pace, which doesn't bode well at all!
Root - Caught on the crease, his footwork is usually far far better than that.
Ali - A bit tentative but it's a good ball going up the hill
Woakes - at least he was trying to get forwards and do the right thing
I know we should never be in this position be should Root have actually been bowling anyway? when you consider the side we have picked and who we are playing against?
