Short memory I raise you mark wood. If Sri Lanka hadn't have batted like idiots again that really could have cost us the test. I know he's not a batter but that was bad.

Really awful shot though after being settled in the morning session of the first test of series after winning the toss.

But he was going along well so hopefully he can do better next time.

Mark wood? I’m confused

The difference is 13. He also averages 17 more again at 5 than 4. Should maybe hoy another human shield in at four. ;)

I'm sure Lawrence would have made 13 runs batting down the order. Root effectively came in at three anyway.

Lawrence was exposed to Bumrah in full flow and pegged back in his crease Gary Ballance style. Not ideal for a young player in his third test, picked for his ability against spin.

I'd be happier with Bairstow at 3 against SL than Ishant and Bumrah. I am wracking my brains to think who could have done a better job than simply moving Joe up.

I think long term Crawley will be the one.
Don’t think he’d have had much luck here though, he looked unsure in SL.
I’d love it if Bairstow could do it & was here, but maybe it’s a good thing he’s not. If he’d got the ball Lawrence got and got out, his name would be mud on here all over again.

Slightly awkward banter between him and the presenter though. :lol:

Rishi Persad is a total gonk like. He’s cringeworthy on the racing.

Anyone know which of the other worlds networks have taken this series up? The fanboi-ism on the Channel 4 commentary team is incredibly annoying to listen to and will only get worse once India start getting into the match.

Try listening to talksport if you want to here some English bias. Christ that Gareth Barry didn't think his Surrey team mate played a particularly bad shot to get out.

His Shannon Gabriel hack in the last test. Moments after they broke that great Root Bess partnership.

We should have had a much better lead. If Sri Lanka hadnt batted like idiots we'd have had a hard chase.

Haway man he’s a tail ender on a turning pitch!


Not sure what relevance that has

Anything over their over excited ness everytime the ball his our batsman 6 yards outside of leg stump... was hoping an Aussie network or something had picked it up to avoid them tbh
