He went after a ridiculously wide ball off Lyon just now.

You didn't criticise Stokes for is at headingley

Roy has been better in these 50 balls than all of the other innings yes it’s not been great but it’s ya been an improvement.

Different scenario here. Even the commentators are a tad concerned Roy is thinking one day mode. I'll take their word over your view which you're entitled to

 

[cooky]

Let’s give them some credit this morning. Probably the 2 players under the most pressure in this side and both have applied themselves well this morning in tough conditions.

 

[safcpelaw]

But you can tell by the feet Roy is a one day player trying to adapt.

1st hour dealt with. Good

Good first hour. Fair to play Roy and Denly so far, definite improvement but a long long way to go and a lot more to do.

 

[chunksafc]

This is tense to say the least

Was just saying the same to the Mrs, who looked at me blankly and went back to her mobile phone.

Dravid-esque defence from roy here

Come on son. 8 hours left

Aye I’m the only one interested in my family in general, so no one understands when I’m sitting biting my nails with every bowl

If it gets to around 4 or 5 and we’re somehow still within a chance of surviving in getting the cans open.

First hour down, 6 to go.

 

[toosb]

Totally agree mate. Getting bowled out for 67 and playing like idiots was mentally weak. Getting an unplayable ball like that off the number 1 ranked test bowler in the world is certainly not embarrassing or mentally weak.

Root has had a few beauties early on. Top bowlers up their game for the top batsmen.

 

[Northern Munkey]

Fuck sake

Fully expect us to collapse before then, so you should be ok
They are doing better than expected though.
Oooops.......

 

[SAFC 2012]

Drive a fuckin aircraft carrier through that gap

 

[safcpelaw]

Fuck off Cummings. And no I’m not going to lick his arse and say well bowled blah blah blah.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Ha’way Stokes
