Before this innings Sibley had a strike rate of 35.44
i am all for protecting your wicket, but that needs improving as it just creates pressure
Trott, an accumulator, was at 47

He blocks half volleys. He’s an attritional and limited batsman and with as many limitations as he has he needs to be proactive with his running between the wickets and ball placement. He does neither of those either. It’s very difficult to watch him
I think you would like some stats wouldn’t you? So I looked up
of batsmen with more than 500 career runs, he is the 33rd slowest in test history. A lot of these are bowlers

That’s quite telling. I don’t think he’s got any shots apart from nudging off the hip. He’s just had a juicy half volley and he’s skewed it with no pace or power to mid on for a single. He does that with consistency.
If Burns is injured here we may get the @Voice of fair play dream opening partnership of Sibley and Hameed

Can’t see them getting anywhere near

Its a fairly desperate spectacle. The poorest England batting side of my lifetime.

I’d rather they lost and had a go than what they are doing now.
Same here. It's embarrassing, the game is there to be won but they're too shit scared to lose.

Sibley and Crawley in full throttle mode at the moment, edge of the seat stuff
It's a nightmare mate, desperate for a cuppa but I don't dare take my eyes off it
