dAVe80 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Was anyone else really confused to see the Bears have signed Ryan Sidebottom, and then seeing that he looks nothing like the Ryan Sidebottom I remember?

snowychap Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Oops, hadn't accounted for just how useless Worcs's middle order is if Whiteley doesn't fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Yes difference in the end was the helmet. That's lazy no need for that to be on the pitch Edited August 4, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's lazy no need for that to be on the pitch This wasn't really the difference as the ball would have run away for four anyway. The helmet cost a run. The two powerplays were the difference. Bears need to find someone who can bowl half decently in the powerplay and I wouldn't mind seeing a big hitter pushed up to open to try and get us off to a flyer with the bat.

PaulC Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Yes maybe but it still shouldn't have happened. That over that went for 30 was difference and Bell needs to bow out of t20 cricket. he is holding us back Hain was better as opener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Jennings - Get rid. His shot selection is awful. His dismissal today is what a tail ender would get out to. Looks shit scared when he bats. Malan - Never good enough for test cricket in the first place Lack of decent batters in this country. Who next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 6, 7 and 8 are just ridiculously good and they make up for the deficiencies of the top order. Root is obviously the engine of the top order. Cook is still good but not as good as he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Looking around at the championship, there are no more people playing with the style of a Cook it seems, or quite rare. Hameed showed talent last year, but unfortunately is completely out of form with the bat. The rest - well this round of championship games coming after the T20 matches, look how many wickets have fallen... I think mindsets generally are changing for all of the players. I'd keep Westley at 3 for the Windies series, but I dunno maybe we should just put Hameed in despite the lack of form at 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Well, after a ridiculous day at Lord's yesterday, Warwicks were looking in decent nick at 100-1 just before lunch with a lead of 65. And right on queue, two wickets in an over including Bell for a duck. If we weren't so thin on batters he'd be hanging on by a thread now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well theres a couple of signings that could have played instead of him but you cant drop the captain anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's drop-worthy form imo, and I'm not really sure his captaincy is all that outstanding. Who is he bringing the best out of exactly? Sibley opened both innings, Hose hasn't played and Hain isn't playing in the CC. Not really sure there is anyone else we can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just saw that England have given 22 players their test debut since the end of the 2013 Ashes. Out of those, only Stokes and Ali have become regulars, whilst Ballance is a semi-regular. 15 of those have made 8 appearances or less. No doubt there will be more to come in the Windies series.
