Pitch it consistently short so both batters have an opportunity to hit a boundary. This England side has zero **** common sense I didn't understand why they didn't just bowl Lyon a yorker.

Because that's a sensible option and not outlandish funky cricket. It's **** bizarre how their brains work. He can barely move his back leg which is in front of leg stump either. Thankfully we don't have to watch England bowl for a while. We do unfortunately have to watch them bat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Crawley gone to a rank ball down the leg side that he just couldnt leave alone Fed up of hearing how pure his technique can be, how he can destroy bowlers with his agressiveness He averages 28 as a test match opener. Thats shit, bin him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would not; would much rather have Hain back fit. Just an opinion. I wouldn’t have him back in the only change I’d make is Hain for Barnard, and with Hassan Ali going to play for Pakistan we have a new overseas in to replace him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
