England v India (Third Test) Headingley

[scotch]

Really want Bairstow to get a score, you feel he's underachieved in tests.

Outside of 1 year, he's been average, which when he had the gloves was fine.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Ah jonny man!

 

[Hulkenburger]

Bit disappointing, Root's running out of batsmen to get a massive score.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

And therein lies the problem with Bairstow.

Another average knock, if he was keeper these scores would be absolutely fine but as a top 5 batter he needs to kick on

Perfect opportunity for Buttler to play ‘his way’ here

They wouldn’t be fine for the level of ability he has. They’d be under par.

6th time Johnny has been out for 28-30 this year

30 average for a keeper is fine, agree for him it would be under par

I don’t think it’s good enough for Buttler to be averaging 33 either. They need to contribute more.

Root is ridiculously good mind

Root is ridiculously good mind

Even though the rest have got runs he’s still being playing a different sport.

 

[Salem Street South]

Can’t be too critical of Bairstow there, he’s trying to move the game on.

he’s pushed at it quite hard with hard hands but he’s looking to play shots, it happens.

And therein lies the problem with Bairstow.

A bit harsh. A quick 30 was fine in the circumstances for the team, even if it was a missed opportunity to fatten his average on a selfish level.

Buttler played a lot as a specialist number 7 we were spoiled with Prior

 

[Old Timer]

Here is a stat 261 runs is highest first innings deficit over turned in the history of Cricket.

England beat Australia by 10 runs after being 261 behind in 1894.

Still some way to go to match the highest ever first innings lead, 702.
1938 England got 903 For 7 dec against Australia who were all out for 201.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

A bit harsh. A quick 30 was fine in the circumstances for the team, even if it was a missed opportunity to fatten his average on a selfish level.

It was a big opportunity and despite the circumstances of the match being different to previous, his innings was similar. Looked fluent, busy, capable and then out with a bit of a lunge.

For a keeper at 7 that’s fine

you need to look at the averages of keepers throughout time

 

[TravellingMackem]

What was that jos…

 

[Jack Torrance]

Fuck sake. I want a lead of 400, haway Mo

 

[Mr Redknapp]

not good that jos.
