The Duckett one was a terrible shot by Weatherald, he may have saved his career if he goes on and makes 50 plus, should be out and never picked again, not up to it. :shock:

Who replaces him?


Renshaw.

Weatherald seems like a lovely lad but hes got a massive weakness falling over there. Imagine if he faced bumrah last year, gee whiz hed not make it over 10. Mcsweeney is better and was just stiff to face one of the best bowlers of all time last year.

Not sure of actual facts, but of his 8 or 9 dismissals this series, feels like he has been out LBW at least five times :shock:

Has serious technical issues unfortunately.

Just went thru, he has had nine innings, one not out, four LBW out of the eight dismissals :shock: Averaging 20, not good enough.

Archer got him LBW twice, Cawse in Adelaide, now Stokes.

While I agree he isn't putting his best foot forward, he's also been a tad unlucky.
The LBW at Adel was not out, pitched well outside leg.
Today's LBW was umpires call.

Then again, he also got a few lives with England's sloppy catching.

You bring in 8 specialist batters.

Light is getting dark, bowlers have their tails up

Ok…..let’s send in one of the 3 bowlers we have to try and survive and not get hit.

Can’t bowl can’t bat.
