It did concern me when Chris Silverwood came out shortly after his appointment and said that England would concentrate on batting time in test cricket - there are people who have been watching the game for longer than me, but I have always thought that you win tests by scoring runs not facing deliveries and the best sides in the history of the game are those who take the game to the opposition and put them under pressure. The way our opening pair have gone about playing Chase really concerns me. There is no attempt to put pressure on him when he is bowling. He made a mistake here, but I was really impressed wirh the way Crawley played Chase in the first. Sibley in particular needs to find a way to up his.scoring options
