5th test the oval


Groin injury?….pah!


Although he doesn’t look like he can run much (at all?)
Bowling might be a problem….

I agree he will come good, but he’s a little way off at the minute. Just todays knock he could have been out 4 times. Needs to be more sensible in England and he’d be a massive improved player.

You aren’t wrong, just want to see the approach change relative to the situation more than it is. I’ve got nothing against playing this way on pitches like old Trafford where it isn’t moving, then yes go for it and we did exceptionally well last week. But we’ve got to reign it in at the right times - and it doesn’t have to be all innings - if you wait 20-30 overs it becomes easier and does less, if you get in you’ll find it easier to play shots. Just about giving themselves the best chance they can imo which they aren’t always doing
Yeah that fair enough it’s always about getting the right balance if you can.
 
Those two shots by Brook should be forever in the best fours scored at the oval video montage

orgasmic batting
