England v India (2nd test) Lords

[Hulkenburger]

So, as usual we need a big score from Root and for someone to stick with him for a bit.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Well, we got past 20 without losing 2 wickets at least. Root must be getting sick to death of this.

He pads up before the openers

Haway Brandon. Harsh

Really not necessary.

 

[smoker]

The hameed wicket is the perfect example of people saying “get him in” etc to any player they’ve seen in county cricket

not that simple is it

You wanted him in....

Perfect example of a mentally weak player shitting his pants on the big stage.

 

[Concordsafc]

he just needs to face 20 balls 2nd innings n take it from here

mhmm he’s clearly got issues with confidence like so who knows

I don’t think he’s test standard player to be honest I don’t think Crawley and sibley is either but it’s what we are producing at the moment good level county players who struggle to step up.

This

 

[cooky]

aye just has to be nerves

Yeah you have to feel for him as a number 3 just doesn't miss that.

 

[Raker]

I think we need to start disguising root up as everyone else and keep sending him out - only chance we have at this point

 

[The Rat]

Not sure putting hameed as not an opener was wise like

openers are strange things who don’t like waiting

massive tash and a fake nose

So we just write him off?

Seems a tad harsh.

 

[scotch]

Tms just said hameed averages 15 batting at 3...might be worth bumping him to open again

Not into this angle at all.

A first-baller is not a good start, but people seem to be really digging into him. He's earned the right imo. He's got a few more innings before we should be writing him off like this.

Truth hurts.

Put a pillow round his waist for bairstrow - I think we’re onto something here

 

[brandon]

Really not necessary.

Again, truth hurts.

Who said that like?

 

[The Rat]

Put a pillow round his waist for bairstrow - I think we’re onto something here

the main problem is he can’t stand at both ends!

 

[Jack Torrance]

Again, truth hurts.

He averaged 42 in the 3 tests he previously played for England, not sure how that’s “wasn’t good enough before”

Leach at the other end?
