I had to check though, I was thinking where the bloodyhell has he scored them...

I think you've read the Kohli line of stats off Cricinfo. :lolol:

Obviously for the future. :thumbsup:

I wouldn't be put off playing all 4 of them together. Stokes is better than most other batsmen we have tried in the middle order, and Curran and Woakes bowling figures are both strong enough to keep them in with Broad and Anderson. I'd be thinking about: Jennings Burns Pope Root Bairstow wk...

Ideal world, I would say England batting for 2 days is a fantasy world! Batting for 4 sessions would be some achievement by this lot...

If the pitch currently turning like it is for Ali doesn't tell you you don't want to be batting last, I don't know what will! Anyway, fantastic recovery from England here, never judge a pitch until both have batted, another long lived adage.

Definitely make the decision based on conditions. 9 out of 10 times you still probably bat, then that 1 time out of 10 you really think about bowling, and you still bat. Statistically there is less advantage to batting first than anytime in cricket history, however twice as many captains will...

As a captain, walking out at the toss and making a call based on not trusting your batting line up – you may as well take a white towel out with you. Let us not forget that if you bowl, you bat last, an even worse scenario if you don't trust your line up. You don't chose to bowl because of your...

Who was it who said, 'you win the toss, you assess the conditions, the weather, the pitch, consult your team, and after all that discussion, you bat.' No one winning the toss yesterday was doing anything other than batting. It wasn't that overcast, it looked perfect batting weather. I would...

Great wicket there J. Well done.

:lolol:

I think openers have a distinct lifespan, it's not age, it is how long you've been doing it, there are exceptions like some of the Australians like Hayden and Langer, but they are exceptions and that might not have happened without them in partnership in their later years. Cook is only 33, but...

We must be at 6 or 7 years and counting since we had a solid opening pairing. We have tied a shed load of players. I don't know whether Cook is the issue really. His records etc. make him a formidable experienced person to go out to bat with, not sure everyone we have tried has felt unable to...

We just have no bottle if there is no scoring, so get desperate as soon as there is a ball worth swinging at. Cook had left so well too. Getting out to a wide one though with his experience…:facepalm: watching the replays, what a truly shocking cricket shot by a former captain when we're...

He's losing the plot.
