4th test Manchester

[FatCat2402]

It wasn't a drop, it's just he can't manage to take a ball straight into his gloves.

Not on BBC live text, Vaughan is usually right on it with JB, same as nearly a run out, no word on him messing it up.
So the SMB keeping up its agenda then?

It wasn’t a drop. It was just a missed “take” behind the stumps

It’s hardly an agenda to say that his keeping has been poor this series

Have you watched this first hour?

 

[McGregor]

He even dropped Anderson's throw

If you say so!

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

If you say so!

It’s been widely discussed everywhere

 

[McGregor]

It's dreadful keeping. No two ways about it man. All series long. He's dropping the simplest of balls

 

[Hulkenburger]

Maybe he needs bigger keeping gloves.

I'm thinking novelty-hand sized.

Its definitely not but maybe umpteen posts every time he doesn't do a clean take is going to be a hard watch

England have been ordinary so far today

Shite bowling or shite decision after the toss?

No, but looking on here it read as if he’d dropped a sitter. For me I’d drop him from squad until he is fully fit n play him as a batsman. As said by others, if any player is underperforming, then it is the selectors who should be questioned, not the player.

As far as just catching a ball with big fuck off gloves to aid that goes.. they've been sitters.

I see people getting on Bairstow's case again. No chance of criticising those who keep picking him to keep though?

 

[Stormo]

Was just going to ask this?

Selectors have fucked up monumentally selecting him. Doesn't mean the players performance can't be judged

 

[FatCat2402]

Shite bowling or shite decision after the toss?

All a bit unstructured really. Woakes has looked canny, it's as if they've come out without a plan, which is obviously not the case but it's one ball short, next too wide, next a half volley etc.

 

[Hulkenburger]

Need a couple of wickets before lunch.
