DavidM Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not sure I’ve seen Root as simmering as this . Not happy at all with some of this rubbish . This is the risk of bowling first , big chance IF it goes well , but if it doesn’t you can lose control of the game . And I’d say that’s what he’s thinking at present . Needs his bowlers to reign this in . Not exploited conditions anything like .Especially when you’ve no margin for error in the series . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbruce Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah England in trouble here don’t think anyone expected the stop start nature of the day. Apart from that first Broad and Archer spell we have served up some rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thank god for Archer to drag that back . One game and we’re leaning on him big style . Tough balance for Root between that and looking after him to keep him prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 It took a while, and there was a danger of Warner getting his mojo back, but the Sandingistas were disposed of in a single (rain-affected) day for less than 200. Six for Archer - anyone willing to bet that he won't do that again in the coming years? Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Six for Archer - anyone willing to bet that he won't do that again in the coming years? The impressive thing is that it wasn’t pace this time , it was his skill set and adapting to that pitch . So he can blast you out or work you out . Paine said no worries we’ve got plans , may need another one now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Six for Archer - anyone willing to bet that he won't do that again in the coming years? Looking forward to seeing it on the highlights later. The only issue facing him is, I'd suggest, the same we have for all our fast bowlers. He's the only one and he's going to be worked hard. If we want him to have a long career he can't be playing every game and we need to make sure he gets proper recovery time. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his interview he said Root came to him and said ‘ can you go again ?’ And he said ‘no’ he was blowing to hard after his 5th wicket . Until the last over and root came to him again ! The rest must step up as this is a bit of a reflection on them . Both Woakes n Stokes were shipping 6 an over at one point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Have I gone full Ian Botham, or is 17 overs not really that insane a workload for a 24yo in cool conditions on a green pitch? I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

DavidM Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The match - can we say the series - is on how we bat tomorrow . If we’re still batting at the close that’ll be a big advantage . Should be easy eh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 The match - can we say the series - is on how we bat tomorrow . If we’re still batting at the close that’ll be a big advantage . Should be easy eh ? Correct, and if Jason Roy really is going to play a quick fire ODI style 60 today is the day to do it. You can never tell how a pitch plays until both sides have batted but this is shaping to be a low innings test . All the attention on Jofra but Woakes and Stokes need to up their game the Warner-Labuschange stand was helped by some truly risible bowling in helpful conditions. Others need to shoulder their share of the load or Archer and Broad are going to be bowled into the ground.

By itself, no it's not. But if the expectation is that he's going to bowl that number, or more, every time, especially in series with such small turnarounds, then it might get to be a problem. Not least because England (and probably others but they're foreign and I don't care) have a truly woeful record at keeping their bowlers in particular healthy.

Just Browny Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Rooooooooot. Gets nowt again, but apparently this isn't about him but all because he came in at 3 instead of five minutes later at 4.

ckn Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Good to see we’re giving the Aussies a chance. They’ll come out for their 2nd innings and blow it, then we’ll show our class by getting 400-0 to win the game Honest. That’ll happen.
