Smashing. 27-2. I think that could have been the most ridiculous review I've ever seen. He couldn't have been more plumb. The only thing that could have saved him was if he hit it and he got nowhere near it and must have known that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2021 The ball that got him out did nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 once the winter tour is done, so is bairstow with England. Back home, keep him in the ODI format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Watched it back and I think Bairstow thought it had pitched outside leg, which is pretty scary being as it pitched dead centre pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thought I'd put the telly on. Ten minutes later, 4 wickets down. Arseholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I think England all week talked about India last day/night innings being short that they actually believed the hype and didnt prepare themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Just an opinion; there is a distinct lack of class in this England team. probably apart from Anderson (even though he plays for Lancashire). No one with the concentration of Trott or sheer ability of (Sir) Ian Bell. No Warks bias from me , as usual.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I will say, if we can get up to 220-240 we're still very much in the game, with the pink ball. I think it will swing as well as spin. Still along way to go, but 200+ is not far from par in these day nighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
