4 slips in place. Plenty of gaps for our lads to get off to a bit of a flier.
At 38/0 after 5.1 overs, how right you were.
(I'm confused as this really isn't how it's supposed to work...)

Sadly, some better bowling gets rewarded... 42/1

Yorkies should've kept their grabbers in place for a bit longer... Hainesy 4 more to 3rd Man
Yeah, I turned the television on and inevitably we immediately lost a wicket.
CLASSIC.

Interesting that they just mentioned having to get used to the slope down the pitch at Hove.
You'd think it'd help playing at a ground with a similar slope. Like, I don't know, Headingley for example.

Why are you still watching?
Now I'm worried that if I stop watching the jinx will strike again.Why are you still watching?
Maybe you should just commit to watching until another wicket falls?
Thought I was off the hook then for a couple of seconds.
I know more catches are dropped than most people would think, but I still think Root's some way short of the top tier of slip catchers. Even in this Yorkshire XI I'd think Lyth's a better slip fielder.
Edit: I didn't expect my point to be illustrated quite that quickly.
Because he's sloooowwwww.
Seriously though, the role he'd play in a bowling attack you'd have him up against Anderson and Woakes (and numerous other 80-ish mile an hour bowlers) over the last decade or so, and with the best will in the world you'd never pick him over Anderson or Woakes.
No offence meant, but can you please request a voluntary thread ban?Thought I was off the hook then for a couple of seconds.

. Will we get dismissed by 10 slip catches? Very tricky batting morning against moving ball with enough carry in pitch.
I haven't been able to watch this morning. Is the ball doing a bit?

I'm expecting us to lose Pujara this summer. The England selectors can't really overlook him now.
Ted Dexter would have picked him.
Like he wanted Jimmy Cook in 1989...
