bannedfromHandV Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I slated him yesterday but fair play, that’s some unbelievable batting there from Bairstow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Whatever the outcome here on in, this has been a superb test match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 For all that's been said about the pitch, 34 wickets have fallen( albeit often batsman error) too. This isn't some souless road. Though obviously a batting friendly one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We've just got to chill out now. Take singles (if Stokes can.. seems he's hurt) when you can, punish bad balls and just play conservative, like a proper 1 day game. Jonathan Trott batting from here please guys. One wicket from uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I mean that is a stunning innings from Bairstow. If they rein it in and knock these off we win. Stokes hobbling around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'll have whatever Jonny Bairstow had at tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Looked a bit dicey with Root getting out on a low score but blimey Bairstow and Stokes are tearing it up. A great day of free cricket if you got a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2022 An absolutely brutal batting display. Absolutely hammered the bowlers into submission. They're like a drunken boxer on the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I completely get the point, just I don't see their approach changing until a wicket comes. But by this point, if it does, the run rate is low enough the pressure is off the incoming batter to make an immediate impression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 And now Ben Stokes, on one leg, walloping it for six! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) FFS I decided to go out this afternoon. What a clearing in the woods. I had an inkling when it went a bit Villa-match-thread in here earlier something would happen as well! Edited June 14, 2022 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
