Happened last time too. Has to be there or Southampton as only two grounds with hotels on site to maintain the social bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 6, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think it's fair to say this isn't going well. Will we make three figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Nope, just came on to predict a sub 75 score here I don’t know why we’re unable to start a series the way we finish a series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 it is excellent bowling from the pakistani pair let's be fair. Wickets were all good nuts I think. Our problem is letting them have the momentum with crap bowling after lunch, bowling two spinners was mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 was hoping to listen to this in Wales on Saturday after a pub lunch...more than likely be over by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 7, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2020 We're going to have to work hard for a draw here - need to slow everything down and then tomorrow we'll need our openers to show a lot more grit than in the first innings.

Rodders Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 abysmal performance. We've had the advantage of three tests to warm up, and batted so poorly, and bowled so poorly at the wrong time. Yesterday after lunch was just garbage and where we allowed them to power on with the momentum. Pakistan have bowled very well too, wouldnt want to ignore their part in this scorecard either tbf.

Burns, the jury is still out on him. Stokes got a great ball, not much you can do about that and Root gets and gives it away which is typical of him these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woakes averages 6 in his last 7 matches too and we expect him to bat at 7. Laughable really trying to shoehorn in 5 bowlers when Stokes can't bowl.

PaulC Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Archer hasn’t bowled that quick. Anyway another one for Woakes, great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I give up trying to understand cricket. Woakes is bowling great, taken 2 wickets and then hes taken off. 5 overs is not a big spell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
