Broad's dismissal sums out just how braindead this batting performance has been

Awesome from Broad.

The thought that some people have of Curran having the ability to become a test batsman is laughable. He might score a few runs here and there, but throwing the bat is not a technique that will ensure consistent runs. When he needs to dig in he’s found wanting. His technique isn’t tight enough, and his ego won’t allow himself to block for any prolonged period of time. He bats in a way not dissimilar to how Graeme Swann batted.

At least Broad didn’t back away this time

Just seen the Broad dismissal, oh dear!
If he was a race horse he'd have been sent to the glue factory long ago...

Wonderful partnership from Pope and Anderson. Already the 4th highest of the innings.

One positive from this innings has been Pope. Get him some half decent players to bat with and he will be something special.

Could this be the Burnley Lara's chance at his maiden 100, too many times he's been left stranded ..

While all the chaos has unfolded around him, Ollie Pope has stood tall. He's looking to be the real deal.
A bloke averaging near 58 in first class cricket is a decent batsman, who's have thought it?

So impressed with Pope - at a time when his spot is under pressure and he's new to the team, to be controlling the game and be totally selfless shows a real strength of character

Well done Ollie Pope!

What are people's thoughts on Sam Northeast - 30 now but read somewhere he has averaged over 50 in the county champ for the last three years. As we have seen it doesn't guarantee test performance but do we think he deserves a try?
