Thought the same myself. Baffling decision.

Yeah was over the moon when they decided to do that.

By picking two front line spinners probably felt obliged to do it.

Pleased they did

Putting yourself in to bat here is up there with the maddest toss calls of all time.

 

[Boo]

Beautiful! Great from Broad - and we’re holding those catches.

 

[The Fullwell Step]

Buzzing we’re having a bowl (fully expect SA to be without loss at lunch)

This is looking like a fullwell step prediction.

Pains me to say it but Broads offered nowt this summer

Too early to bump this?

Picking two spinners, sort of forced his hand but the saffers have read this wrong. We’ve done the same mind in the past

I said in post 99 , I felt broad would do well here . Mind you, he bowled a big no ball, so thankfully he didnt when it mattered

Especially with their attack and our batting line up

Of course, they’ve also lumbered themselves with a longer tail.

I know Old Trafford is usually good for the spinners but with our fragility at the top of the order, bowling was a no brainer imo.

Also, I’ve seen us go wrong with two spinners at Old Trafford,

Bizarre decision to bat in this.

Almost perfect conditions for Jimmy on his home ground.

 

[Unlucky Black Cat]

Except for the Stokes drop?

True, but that was a tricky one.
