3rd test - Headingley


Just got a text from the Rat, he says:

:lol: log off man, remember Foakes dropping that chance in 2013, dear me”

A bit more recent...


Dropped! Ben Foakes puts down a sitter​

OK, it wasn’t the easiest catch in the world, but at this level that was a gimme. Broad finds the outside edge of Jansen and it moves towards Foakes who has to move to his right. The ball swerved a little and it hit his right thigh. Broad scowls at his ‘keeper. Finally some luck for the Saffas.

England's Stuart Broad reacts after Ben Foakes drops a catch.

Must have been fake news of course, Foakes never drops anything.

Foakes catches most things. That's the point.

Regardless on what you think of Foakes' keeping or him being in the side. Even Bairstow will be gutted at himself sitting down for lunch. Should have had at least 1 more ct to his name.
 
Don't want to be negative after such a good morning but its clear he should have played before this test.
I said first test but they said they were resting him for both. Clearly he's in good shape at this point, whether that's on account of that rest well never know
