[First Test] England v West Indies - Southampton

[Ghfd]

Is it the 1980s curly mop on top and shaved at the sides. Dancing to orchestral manoeuvres in the dark.

Happy days

You make good points on the average, batting position and batting with the tail, but i would still say like Bairstow, Buttler needs a break from test cricket.

I just find cricket fans strange

Always seem to have most anger for number 7 for top order failings

The problem with that view imo, is you need replacements who are better and not sure there is?

 

[Silly Point]

Close this

 

[Ghfd]

Review field not out

no bat

down leg or umpires call

 

[Scotty 1978]

Lucky there

 

[Silly Point]

Not close enough

Almost averaged less than Buttler but in county cricket

Are people seriously suggesting dropping players after 1 game after no proper practice n 3 months without cricket???

Asking the question, Buttler had a poor winter so wondered what the opinion was.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

That looked closer than the buttler one

 

[Ghfd]

Lucky Dom lad.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Lucky

 

[Steak Pie]

So a lot better record than foakes last year then

Nobody should be getting dropped after 1 test

Ridiculous man

What do you want your keeper averaging by the way?

Half of his games were as a batsman. I'm not that bothered about Buttler TBH, I just find the difference in perception between him and Bairstow (when Bairstow's record is far superior) absolutely hilarious.

Jos doesn't have it, he's the luckiest England player since Ramprakash.

Seething, obvs.

Butler is not the best test batsmen nor the best wicket keeper. It isn't just one test, it's his past year or so. His talent in white ball is the only reason he is in the squad. But he is constantly bowled or lbw more so than denly

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Would have gave that out like, lads have had a mare

 

[Ghfd]

Didn’t they tighten up the umpires call rule?

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

That’s style has come back mate, been back a while tbf

Me and Carty wouldn't know that. It was the OMD look in the 80s ask your dad.

Even with a small lead this game should be exciting, as I would be disappointed if our bowlers don't get something out of this pitch tomorrow.

I wondered why they were laughing was prepping tea.

I was like cockermouth is a funny name but we all know Ben played for them.

So thanks for sharing that is excellent

I agree, its why i said in an earlier post it is a complex one. All i can say is he has been out of sorts for a while now, just like Bairstow was.

I’m enjoying this. I know we are tumbling but tomorrow could be a cracking day.
