Well that just happened, what a gift for Bess
Hopefully South Africa do an England now!

I'm pretty sure earlier in this thread you said woakes wasn't any good?

Also as good as root was in cape Town not bowling wood ealry on is criminal

I guess you didn't actually read what I wrote? I said we lack accuracy. Woakes isn't as happy with the Kookaburra as the Duke, but he's considerably more accurate than Curran's pies

no, no, i did read what you put and my statement stands...

@alexhilly1492 can you stop quoting him please?
I can see the messages when you do that which counters the superb work the block function is doing!

[alexhilly1492]

Will do!

If accuracy is the only issue then why not bring out any one of 20 county trundlers? Curran offers something different and with a huge total on the board it was worth a go giving him a few overs.

Good job I don't give a toss what you think than isn't it?

75mph dross gifting easy runs is certainly something different

[ppccopener]

to be fair to Root, Curran can swing the ball a bit and if there has been a bit of weather about its worth a try with a new ball

I don't think Root is a good Captain but club/county/international cricket it don't matter you try things and it don't work a lot of the time, that's the lot of making the decisions

easy to criticize with hindsight

[FattusCattus]

I think he's a poor captain.

Why not open with Curran and Wood for 2 or 3 overs - why does Broad need to open?

(And don't quote his test wicket tally, he is not the force he was when he got most of those wickets - he seems to value parsimony above all else these days).

Absolute gas from Woody

Bessy!

Broad bowled nicely with the new ball

[edge]

I know he doesn't take it that often, but has Curran ever bowled a good new ball spell for England? He's definitely been much better breaking partnerships rather than new ball spells.

[Jimbo]

Wood you could probably justify giving him a rest after that innings!
