maaarsh Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Interesting to see what the plan is with Roy - no record of success in first class cricket, so should they be telling him to go out and try and make 77 off 65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose the red ball can swing quite a bit more first up, but there are fewer fielders outlying. Jennings seems to have gone right off for lancs and hameed done nowt special either.

bwfcfan5 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If you're doing anything other than asking Roy to play his natural game you're wasting your time. He's going to frustrate people getting in then getting out. But in the circumstances there aren't better options. He'll have to find a way to naturally adapt slightly - because there will be times its about staying in for an hour. But I'd let him find his own way. If he clobbers them for 6 in over number 2 that's fine. Will give Aussies something to think about. I don't know if he's got the mentality to really make a go of it but I'm sure as hell certain that Jennings will never be an international batsman so Roy might as well have a go.

That’s my way of thinking too, instead of letting the Aussie seamers pin us down, give those Kangaroo shagging convicts something to worry about. Subdue them, get the crowd going and they’ll soon wish they were at home watching Cell Block H. Yes, it’s a Len Fairclough thumbs up from me for Jason Roy.

Didledee Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hopefully this pathetic showing so far vs the mighty Ireland isn't a sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hmm. 42-5. We've won the world cup but it doesn't make the test batting line up anywhere near good enough. We really need to think hard before the ashes as to what we want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 26, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2019 36 for 9! 5 wickets for woakes. 4 for broad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piemon Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Anderson, Archer, Woakes Wood would be my first choice 4 quicks if fit swap Broad for Wood until Wood is fit. Respect Broad (A lot) but his time is up IMO at Test Level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 26, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2019 So long as he pitches it up on bowler friendly wickets, then Broad is still a major threat. Not an easy decision, though I think he now has to be judged purely as a bowler, not an all rounder. At some point Curren has to come into thinking. He did very well yesterday, in putting pressure back on the bowlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
