I wouldn't take him to Australia next Ashes if he's still batting like this He hardly played a shot and that’s not his game. Never looked comfortable. He’s had a great start to his career lower down the order. I wouldn’t be dropping him due to struggling to play the new ball that’s swinging everywhere against the best bowling attack in cricket. As soon as he gets back down the order I don’t doubt that he’ll get back into the form he showed early on given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 If he can't play this high up WHY are we playing him this high up??? It's costing us a wicket. We know one of Laurel or Hardy will give away their wicket within the first 10 overs so we need someone with a bit more nous to play there not a number 5 batsman who thrives playing a worn ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckett has an average of 48 and made 98 and 83 in the previous test match. Completely agree that Brook shouldn’t be at 3. Probably should have moved Root up a place but he doesn’t seem to want to bat at 3. We’re hardly blessed with options if you’re after that sort of batsman though.

I can understand the fans in the ground being angry about it as they’re probably unaware but not sure how anybody watching that on tv can question that decision.
