As well as we played NZ seemed a bowler short and one out injured for the last match the Indian attack is decent.

One off game would help us but I think it could be a closer game. Anderson back and Potts looks pretty good to me.

The 90 mph Overton didn�t happen although he is brisk it�s no different to Potts.

Crawley�.well he has the shots but could be last chance. Lawrence did not do much wrong but for an opening spot I think Sibley may be worth another chance looking at him and Burns maybe more potential with Sibley. He got a hundred today as well.

Potts was operating around 81/82 I thought, Overton was mid-high 80s from what I saw.

Possibly a bit quicker but don�t see much in it. Overton has the height but I think Potts is a real find for us.

Looks to pitch it up and def done one of the New Zealanders for pace LBW.

Seems to have a good attitude too, smiles and gets in with it.

I�m impressed

Didn't like them using Overton to bang it in short personally, feels a waste.

Im never much a fan of the tactic, unless the batsman has a weakness against the short ball - the idea of bowling six mid trackers an over to someone who can play the short ball in the hope that they won't quite middle one is a bit shithouse in my opinion.

But id rather see Jamie O bowl those over than Wor Sturks.

Bumrah to captain India at Edgbaston.

Billings retains his spot - Foakes still has covid
Anderson replaced J Overton.

Manormanic · « **Reply #892 on:** June 30, 2022, 05:14:52 PM »

Think id have been minded to bring Brook in rather than Billings.

Could be wrong but I think they must replace like for like keeper

Brook bats and bowls is he another that can keep as well?

What? It's a new match! They can pick who they like.

Brook is not a wicketkeeper and bowls only occasionally.

They could have considered playing him, but Bairstow would have kept.

I could well be wrong but I read Foakes still has covid so the obvious replacement would be Billings from the last test if Foakes does not recover

So they really had to include Billings

I could well be wrong thou

Exactly. Not my preferred long term solution, but id rather have a look at Brook in thevtest arena than at Billings.

He is recovering from Covid. But it is no differerent to if he was unfit for any other reason. Or if they just didn't want to pick him. They can pick who they want.

It had to be 'like for like' when he was substituted in the last match. But that has no bearing on this one.
