Soft from Burns that! Half played cut straight to backward point

Looked set for a biggie there too!

That was awful from Denly

Wonderimg when SF will bring out a Denly30 model.

I don't see how you can do that much hard work then get out on such a consistent basis. Time to move on

Denly, lovely chap, unfortunately isn�t good enough for the highest level. In the long run we are better off blooding Crawley as he�s potentially got a 10 year career ahead of him.

I know denly hasn't got the big score but he has used up balls which we were crying out for 2 years ago, he has prevented us from being 20-2 every game, yes it's a out runs but he has sured up our too order a little

Stokes' on drive really is a thing of beauty

I don't disagree, but is Crawley a way behind him? I'd rather get Crawley in at 3 and Root back at 4. I then really like the look of the top 6.

Call me greedy, but I want my number 3 scoring runs. The argument for an experienced, veteran player coming in is that he knows his game, like Rogers, Voges,, Misbah. Denly seems to lack concentration and i do accept we haven't been spoiled for choice. Crawley is out playing him and should be given the role

Can anyone explain why Stokes is walking so far across? Seems like he wants to hot everything to leg?

I understand getting onto off stump but he's way outside!

Feel for Crawley there looked the business!

This is the position buttler has been picked for, decent ish platform still need runs! If he fails that has to be it!

Dead right he has done just that most games. I�m a Denly can think he is a good player.
He hasn�t quite done enough thou in the last year.
If this is his last game he has battled and done a job.
Ideally like Crawley and him both to play but it will only be one

alexhilly1492 · « **Reply #189 on:** July 11, 2020, 05:05:45 PM »

I suppose this is a better position to be in, arguing over who to leave out rather than struggling to pick someone!

alexhilly1492 · « **Reply #190 on:** July 11, 2020, 05:09:59 PM »

That HAS to be it for buttler, needed to stand up in a situation made for him.

Drop Denly, Crawley has shown he can bat time and score runs and Denly isn't an option going forward.

Buttler has to go as well, just isn't cutting it in Tests. Bring in Foakes who is a far superior keeper and has a game more naturally geared to Test cricket.

Jeff Navarro · « **Reply #192 on:** July 11, 2020, 05:14:34 PM »

Foakes deserves a run in the side, more so as we have tours of Sri Lanka and India after Christmas and the best keeper has to play in those conditions

rickjames · « **Reply #193 on:** July 11, 2020, 05:49:55 PM »

Well, that's the defeat sewn up then.

alexhilly1492 · « **Reply #194 on:** July 11, 2020, 05:50:04 PM »

Game over!

We havnt been good enough but out ourselves under undue pressure with the toss, not enough first innings runs then soft dismissals when we were getting on top today! Gonna take something special from our quicks to win this now even then it will be West Indies who have lost it.

1-0 early on in a series again
