[First Test] England v West Indies - Southampton



Burns has a lot to do, 33 average needs to improve, flatters to deceive a bit, has the right attitude.


Remember he always bowls at the worst time too.

If he took the new ball every innings he would average a lot less

When is swinging I think he is our best swing bowler after Jimmy but never really gets the chance.

Praise indeed with Woakes and Broad available.
 
250 more runs here and I fancy us

Think it all depends on how quick we get them. No problem with us batting like this currently, it’s good to see actually. But if we want to push for a win we’ll need to up the pace after tea to get enough of the board and have enough time.
 
Make the game safe should be the first priority even if it means batting like this until lunch tomorrow.

Poor dismissal that. Shades of the second innings in Barbados
