Eng Vs SA at Durham


I’d go:
Salt, Bairstow, Root, Brook, Buttler, Jacks. 1-6.

Get Banton, Duckett and Hain around the squad.

Drop Livingstone. Rest Roy for a bit. I’d also move on from Ali in ODIs.

We turned up for the second innings. By that point the club were spot on with the water situation, and we felt ok in the heat given that it had fallen a degree or two. Had a spell in the Don Robson which was in the shade too, loads cooler than the triple decker.

In summary, doing 500-830 was canny. Plenty who had started at 1pm were leaving for good when we landed though.

England look poor on the field but given that the WC is still over a year away I’m not that arsed.
 
I thought Durham were fantastic hosts to be fair.... got in no bother. Got food and drink no problem and the way they were providing cold water for everyone was amazing. Well done Durham I say !
Not saying the bloke is wrong and didn't have a bad experience, but it would help if he could spell and string a sentence together.
