Jon Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 we'll be lucky to get to 200 here. Ball swinging about quite a bit. Not the best decision to bat IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure, first test in the ashes, you've got to go in and try to get a score, the pitch isn't that bad, our batsmen just have loose wrists. Edited July 8, 2015 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Had a feeling our openers would find it tough. That won't have done Bell's fragile confidence any good either. Have a bad feeling about him in his series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Managed to sneak a view of the first moments through a gap in the stands, saw the first 4 , and Lyths dismissal before moving on It's sunnier here now so hopefully batting conditions will improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We're ok. I expected it to be tough on the first morning. When you pick 8 front line batsmen you can easily recover from losing a few early wickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 ROOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT Almost drags one on his stumps and just shrugs his shoulders at Johnson. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Root is going to break all records for England. Got to be the best England batsman since maybe Wally Hammond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Root is special. Great recovery so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 He really is a talent, he's dug us out on many occasion too. Move him up the batting order, take the pressure off Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Ballance gone, made hard work of his innings but 61 runs more than we had prev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 And Root hits his 100, superb knock once again, no fear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Bell's place will be under threat if he doesn't buck his ideas up soon. An idea to get Rashid in the side would be to move Root to 4 and Moeen to 5. Great bowling options then. No doubt they will be earmarking Bairstow for Bell's place if this form conditions though!

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Root is going to break all records for England. Got to be the best England batsman since maybe Wally Hammond! Nah. We'll do what we always do and make him captain, then get on his back and call for his head when his form collapses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
