I like the positivity points of view offered to take away from this series. For the greater good ahead.
Frustrating England getting into great winning positions and not ramming them home. But the unexpected have performed.
Such a shame Root being the most bazball 4/over player long before bazball came along, felt he needed to go at 8/over. Glad he’s gone back to his natural game.
I hope the players who haven’t got picked yet get a game in the next one. It’s a squad game and might as well give the experience.
But!
I just wonder if England might seriously consider preparing dry, dusty, cracked up, dodgy bouncing pitches at home now too?
Bashir & Hartley could be the new Broad & Anderson?
The seamers seem so fragile currently that spinners could have to bowl the majority of overs.
It would be nice to have 2 great spinners in an England team again. I only hear about the legend of Lock & Laker. So it’s been done before, why not now? Leave the pitch uncovered if it helps, I don’t mind. If England cant bat much longer than 70 overs anyway, might as well try the luck going at 7/over anyway. But at least the away team always has a chance of also being 100/5 for those miracle comebacks or absolute home thrashings.
