Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 India probably won't want to bat too long. Cook, Hameed, and Root are a top order that could potentially bat out a significant duration of the match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root gets Hameed run out then Root throws his wicket away. All of a sudden 3 or 4 down as Duckett looks like he doesn't fancy these conditions.

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Has anyone been to local clubs for a game ? We usually do a day out over at west of Scotland , great club and very welcoming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviGer 648 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I would like to see Hameed stick around for a bit. Get used to these conditions. I'm not watching it but seen the score. 112 balls to get to 18 runs! Blockfest I take it? I've never been to any of the clubs. Not played since I was in high school.

Didn't do it at my school and I've always found the idea of starting as an adult quite awkward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Blocking all day won't work for England tomorrow,they have to score runs and get those fielders back. Easier said than done though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 England's only chance of saving the match disappeared when Cook got given out. Root's capable of hanging around most of tomorrow, but I just don't see who sticks around with him long enough to matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckett will be out inside the first half hour. Stokes isn't really known for being a defensive batsman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I could always look for a local Club when I move down to the Nottingham/Derbyshire area next year..would be lovely to spend my Sundays pretending to be a Glesga Ian Botham...

Sitting all day having a bevvy in the sunshine watching the game. What more could you want? I went to school in England and Germany for a while as I had family in the Army. That's the last time I played it. That was 12 years ago tho! Would love to play it again but like it was mentioned in an earlier post it would be a bit awkward starting to play as an adult.

I'm still baffled that England picked Ansari over Woakes tbh. He'd have done more with the ball and been far more useful with the bat.

I would like to think out of Root, Bairstow and Moeen they could put up a bit of a fight. Not staying the will see out the day but would be disappointed to see another collapse. I think it's just down to the fact he's a spinner. Englands line up on paper should be more than capable without Woakes. I feel for him a bit because he's never going to replace Jimmy, Broad or Stokes unless either of them are injured. Suppose the solution would be to trust Root to bowl more in these conditions.

LiviGer 648 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Caught a bit this morning. Seen Bayliss' interview after the game. Sounds like Buttler will be coming in for Duckett in the next test. Said Woakes could be playing in the next test. I think Broad will be rested in the next test. He could hardly walk never mind bowl by the end of this match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
