Didn't know that. Just read the news, he was sent home for rotation policy. How can you send home a guy who didn't play a single test match.
You are rotating to manage the workload of players but then he hasn't done any work.

Woakes was a slightly different case as he was close to Moeen who tested positive when they arrived in SL, then quarantined so therefore missed the SL game....even thou he might not of been picked.

I'm with @Jeff Navarro, I think the bio bubbles are very hard for the players and if you don't play a single game that must take a toll on you mentally.

We already saw when Mo was asked to cancel his rotation time he said no. Maybe there was some bad management there also as I read he was asked on the last day of the test to stay on for the second.

Think it's also sometimes forgotten that Moeen has young kids at home. They, and his wife, would have been told he was coming home at the agreed time. Wouldn't be easy for him to then tell them that he was staying on with his work for another couple of weeks.

Absolutely agree, same situation for Woakes. From what I have read regarding Mo, and we know it's a difficult situation to handle, it's was a dogs breakfast.

He was totally entitled to have his rotation break, as is any other player away from the bubble.

Root worded his departure badly but this was a management issue and there's not much to defend the England management on this I don't think.

Did anyone else think Pants glove/finger strapping, contravene the rules?

Normal fielders can buddy-tape their fingers... why would it be illegal for keepers?

Because you could classify it as webbing which joins those gloved fingers together; the only allowed join is between index finger and thumb.

27.2 Gloves

27.2.1 If, as permitted under 27.1, the wicket-keeper wears gloves, they shall have no webbing between the fingers except joining index finger and thumb, where webbing may be inserted as a means of support.

27.2.2 If used, the webbing shall be a single piece of non-stretch material which, although it may have facing material attached, shall have no reinforcements or tucks.

27.2.3 The top edge of the webbing shall not protrude beyond the straight line joining the top of the index finger to the top of the thumb and shall be taut when a hand wearing the glove has the thumb fully extended.

Interesting. If anything though, his way of taping seems to make it harder to catch - he�s closed the gap completely between two fingers, whereas webbing is a bit more flexible and actually helps catch the ball.

What a ball to get Kohli

Ah, some Bess drivel

Kulli · « **Reply #1495 on:** March 05, 2021, 06:05:54 AM »

Root should really bowl now, but they�ll have to let Bess throw down some more half trackers in order not to offend him 👎🏻

Great end to the session from Jimmy. Need to get Pant very early to stay in the game.

Jimbo · « **Reply #1497 on:** March 05, 2021, 06:26:48 AM »

Kohli going for absolutely zip has really made my week, so poetic that it was Stokes.

What a peach from Stokesy

What a time for Stokes to start turning it on in this series
