Not neccessary in the 5 day game. The players are out there long enough to get to know who they are.

By comparison, Nathan Lyon has taken 59 wickets in 14 Tests at 35.61 in the same time.
Does make you wonder why Bairstow is getting picked.tiger76 wrote:Broad and Woakes have regained England's advantage somewhat with that stand of 65,Jimmy's come out at 11,let's hope his calf holds up,every run is a run the Aussies have to tick off.
That's the good,now the bad and the ugly,Bairstow and Moeen should hang their heads in shame,both look bereft of confidence,Jimmy's not looking too healthy i'm sad to report,hope he can stick in with Woakes and get the lead over 100.
Yep,at least with Moeen he might have an impact with the ball in their 2nd innings,Johnny's bringing nothing to the party ATM,if Sam Curran's available for Lord's he has to play,if nothing else he'll give the strike bowlers a breather now and then,and he's capable of a quickfire 20-30,the selection might depend on who's fit Jimmy doesn't look right,and Jofra is a ? for the 2nd test.Spijed wrote:Does make you wonder why Bairstow is getting picked.
Nope you stay until given out , any English player would have done the sameFCBurnley wrote:Warner should have walked.............oh hang on he cheats so I guess not
Tbf, I doubt any cricketer walks these days unless it's obvious, and you will never see players like Stokes give themselves out when they play with such intensity.FCBurnley wrote:Warner should have walked.............oh hang on he cheats so I guess not
Not doing either right nowtiger76 wrote:Need to keep our foot on their throat,if we nip a few more out tonight that'd be great,broad and Moeen bowling well in tandem.
Need to hold our catches as well.
Actually, at this level of cricket a lot of players walk nowadays since when it's a pretty clear nick they know that they will be embarrassed by the DRS review. They were just saying as much on TMS and felt that Warner should have walked since he must have known he'd hit it and wouldn't get away with it.Spijed wrote:Tbf, I doubt any cricketer walks these days unless it's obvious, and you will never see players like Stokes give themselves out when they play with such intensity.
Easier said than done,they've now gone into the lead,and he's still there,plus the rest,i wouldn't fancy chasing much over a 100 on this batting last,certainly anything over 150 and the Aussies are right in the mix.FCBurnley wrote:Get Smith out today and its all over
It's worth a go for a couple of overs,if nothing else he'll have to change his game,of course the bowlers would have to be accurate to build pressure,but England are letting this game drift too easily,need at least 2 more tonight,and if one of those is Smith even better,but just now it's to easy.FCBurnley wrote:Smith scores vast majority of runs on leg side so maybe try and pack the leg side field and try to frustrate him. Make him take some risks
No he didnt he was given out and just decided not to review itDarnhill Claret wrote:Warner walked in the first innings. Had he appealed by review he would have been ‘not out’.
