[Cricket] England v Pakistan: 1st Test

[Jeremiah]

Not if you have to watch Sibley batting for too long - what a borefest that is.

Opening bats need to bat too long - that's their job

It's not all about quick runs but to take the shine off the new ball , wearing down the bowlers - so that the middle order can cash in with runs. IMO

Won’t have to worry about Stokes. Out for the rest of the series.
