Unbelievable that Atherton and Nasser whinge on about T20 and how it has polluted the game, along comes a proper test match batsman in Shiv and they slag him off.
Fecking incredible.
Agreed, absolutely rediculous. I get the impression they may not be so critical if he was playing for England.
I don't mind him hanging around for hours when his team needs it, but for most of his innings today he wasn't even trying to score. Most of his runs seemed to come from defensive shots that went nowhere near a fielder.
Of course I'd love to see him playing exactly like that for Durham.
To be fair, England were bowling outside his off so he didnt have to play. Its test cricket where time isnt an issue so he basically waiting until they were forced to bowl to him.
