Right tactics from us, yes we lost wickets but enough time to bowl them out

Got to do everything we can to try to win the match, even with a below average SA team away wins are precious

Interesting viewpoint, be curious what leads you to think that.

Butlers foot movement and the positions he gets into are better. However i accept technical ability doesnt always mean much, more than one way to skin a cat.

You see I disagree about positions. He shapes to go for balls then pulls out, and is too often coming up too early for the spinners.

Look, neither is a great keeper. I reckon there are eight better than Jonny in the first class game (and that's with me not commenting on four first choices I have not seen live).

I reckon butler and Bairstow are just about in the top 10 glove man in the U.K. but not in the top 8 so you can argue between you who is slightly better but in long format neither are great

Apologies for going full kit badger but I�m pretty sure it is these - https://www.adidas.co.uk/solecourt-boost-x-parley-shoes/EF2073.html

On sale for anyone who has feet on the smaller side. 50% off and then an extra 20% with the code extra20.

Just caught the highlights, Buttler�s dismissal looks like someone who�s already given up their spot in my opinion. Perhaps he knows someone is coming in for Sri Lanka.

He wears the plain white ones spiked up for batting and these with the green trim for bowling https://www.adidas.co.uk/solecourt-shoes/EF2068.html

The strap and extra spikes look like they may have been done by Custom Cricket Shoes?

They're not, but choosing 5 seamers is still looking daft

Will there be an unlikely hero with the ball for England?

With no "proper" spinner Joe Root or Joe Denly could steal the show on this deck, couldn't they?

WalkingWicket37 · « **Reply #1197 on:** January 27, 2020, 11:08:31 AM »

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
Joe Root's use of DRS is awful!

Well, they're making it difficult

4+ sessions and only one batsmen (attacking one at that so won't exactly save the game)... At least they haven't just gifted it away playing shots just yet..
