How many has he dropped in the last 18 odd months? Had some howlers in the home summer as well, particularly when keeping to spin

Anyway, alarm set for 3:45am, ready for more misery

Bit harsh this Buttler bashing. He first catch was as good as it gets, second opportunity was a tough ask, third was a sitter. For him, in balance that was an average day and still more than deserves his place.

Not having that; the second one was not that difficult because the ball had np pace on it. Forget Foakes, we all know he is just a bit special, I reckon all the other keepers in England contention (Bairstow, Billings) would have swallowed it.

Sorry but as a keeper of 30 years I can tell you that, the 1st catch is outstanding, the other 2 drops are dreadful, especially the 2nd one.

His worth to the team is simply going down, if the runs don't come then Foakes has to play surely.

It's just a shame they have sent him and most of the Lions home.

Ok, but when did you keep in a Test Match in front of a hostile Australian crowd in oppressive heat , under lights with a pink ball? Not quite the same really.

Another no ball wicket. This is ridiculous now

Proper peach. Not sure it's game back on just yet

Not sure about oppressive heat yesterday, it was about 30 degrees, under lights with a coloured ball, it's been a while for me TBH and obviously never in a test match 😉

But if you are selected for England you should be able to deal with all of that and catch them simply as that.

Absolute crap again then

This has innings defeat written all over it.

I'm changing my prediction. Either Burns or Hameed will go big and we will post a good total.

rickjames · « **Reply #357 on:** December 17, 2021, 09:36:33 AM »

I love Woakes, but this just proves he is garbage outside of England

rickjames · « **Reply #358 on:** December 17, 2021, 09:39:55 AM »

Also this side it appalling when it comes to their fielding

Century for Woakes. Well played sir.
