Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 8, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2023 Well done. A bit of luck, but did OK in what was inevitably going to be a difficult, short spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter desperado Posted July 8, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2023 Loved all the sport today, women’s ashes and Boulter (what a beauty she is!) the evenings entertainment. But that was yet another great spell of cricket. I was convinced we were going to lose a wicket at the end! Let’s not kid ourselves tomorrow won’t be smooth or plain sailing, we’re in for another rollercoaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 8, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2023 Two days and a session's worth of cricket on the pitch. May well be at its most batsmen friendly point, with decent weather in the morning. Just play positive, but sensible cricket please in the morning, and who knows, we could be just one down going to Old Trafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 In the box yesterday you get the old pros coming in Sidebottom and Holioke came in. They are fans of Bazball but also made the point once you have Bazballed and pushed the field back nothing wrong with then pushing it about for a few overs , you can get a single of most balls and 4 or 5 an over is still rapid. Crawley has just hit a 4 , no need to chase the next one. Also on slip fielding yesterday, we noticed that there was no catching practice going on at any of the rain delay. Given the dropped catches seemed strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that Crawley dismissal was the downside of Bazball It's good to be aggressive but against a high quality bowling attack like this thought might need to be given to tempering it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 9, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2023 Doing OK. Aussies got the benefit of this different ball, and are a very fine bowling outfit. Pitch decent to bowl on, so not going to be plain sailing. Have some faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
