I can imagine him being like Boycott off the field. 5 hours in the nets trying to improve his weaknesses while the rest are on the lash.

he was a big lad mind, I met him South Africa and I was actually skinnier!

He’s lost a shed load, the penny has dropped it seems

I rate him like, thing I like about him is he improves, which is vital you can’t stand still

Very good shot by Sibley, that's what I want to see a bit more of from him.

Ignore his scoring rate did you see burns shot?

I haven't yet no. But I don't think Burns is the answer either. Saying that, Sibley gets in the team ahead of Burns for me anyway.
 
I fell asleep at 2am and woke up at 4am

not sure you understand the role of an opening batsman like!

He's the exact opposite of Burns like, in both physic and application.

for someone who’s strength is supposedly batting long periods of time he gets out playing attacking shots a lot

He isn’t capable of playing them, unless he learns he needs dropping

I’m far from convinced by him, but he was looking good and going along nicely. The shot he played 4 balls earlier for four was a lovely shot, then he had a complete brain fart and undid all the mornings work.

Well, that and the fact I’d just backed us about 10 minutes earlier 🤦‍♂️

I’m loath to say this as I’ll just f***ing jinx it but Sibley looks much better for the SL tour. The second innings in the last test seems to have convinced him he can play in these conditions
 
All I’m thinking here is how many India are gonna get!

No worries man. I don't think you're ever wrong tbf, in your own head anyway. You take too much, too seriously.
