It’s just bloody stupid … by everyone involved.


I’m no expert by any means. I just think if you bowl at the stumps, you’re a chance of getting a wicket

Just need one, perhaps 2 half decent partnerships with a low chase. Lose early wickets and it’s all over.

Got Trav winning the match all over it. :D… especially now he’s opening :lol:

Saying that, this test is also a great example how T20 has ruined test batsmen.
Big difference between being aggressive and being stupid. Bowling has been pretty good too.

*Carse wicket is a prime example.

Two sides to the argument, at least we’re seeing far less draws nowadays, I’m glad the game has tweaked a little, attacking batting and bowling everywhere but the sub-continent.

It was a batters game for far too long.

I don’t like it but it’s a sign of the times, he’s probably better suited to the harder ball

The one advantage is it keeps the rest of the order as is.
And Uzi might be able to contribute usefully at 5 or 6 (hopefully tomorrow).
