England v India (2nd test) Lords

[scotch]

We spend a whole session unsuccessfully trying to remove their numbers 9 and 10, and they come out and dismiss both our openers for ducks.

May as well jack it in, absolutely atrocious.

In 2 overs

 

[Thunder Road]

Who else do we have in county cricket?

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

When you think of how they are bowling now to our top order and the field settings compared to us against their 9 and 10 when they came out

Root should be getting slaughtered for that. Instead you have cosy Bumble saying at lunch England tried everything and did nothing wrong.

Burns is probably the best opener we've had on a regular basis in the last few years but he's still shite. Sibley is just woeful. For a while he conned me because by being so watchful I thought he probably was a decent test batsman, but he's f***ing hopeless.

Malan has to come in, played a lot of international cricket over the past couple of years albeit in white ball cricket. At least he’s fairly experienced and wouldn’t shit himself like the current top 3

 

[Hulkster]

They'd may as well open with a couple of sloggers as opposed to these two clowns, might at least fluke a few runs before getting out.

 

[scotch]

Most ducks by openers in a year

 

[The Truth]

Absolute. Shambles.

Can't compare totally different format

 

[Hulkster]

First time ever in a home test match that both English openers have gone for ducks.

This the problem. The way we’re operating in Test match cricket with specialist openers we may as well go with Bairstow and Roy and attack the fuck out of it. 0-2 is 0-2

James Vince to open....i wish I was joking

 

[Bears Beets]

If I was root I’d be in the umpire’s ear about the bad light.

Just to piss off Kohli

May as well get Sir Geoff back and Goochie

 

[scotch]

6 ducks in 14 innings for Burns

Couldn't do worse

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

6 ducks in 14 innings for Burns

And he’s the good one of the two!

 

[Sweeper]

This has got England 25-4 written all over it.

Hmmm. I may have been overly optimistic.

 

[Hulkster]

Whatever the question is, Burns and Sibley aren't the answer.

 

[Ottery]

Whatever the question is, Burns and Sibley aren't the answer.

Which two England openers got ducks before they were dropped for the next test?
