Fwiw, our biggest issue was is and remains, the top 3 Some promising signs - id given up on pope - but still a long way to go 5-100 for Leach 50-5....again The issue isnt Leach, as limited as he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokes' performance all round today was frankly crap. Perverse use of Overton and short bowling, then batting like it was the last over of a T20. Positive, attacking cricket is what everyone wants to see, but that was irresponsible. He's tried batting like that from the off previously, and was fortunate not to be out earlier then. Not sure why it has to be so black and white- positive can be sensible. Strange thing is that in recent seasons, he's slowed himself down and built slowly then attacked later. Surely there's no reason for that to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 26, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2022 Purely going off the radio, I reckon he bowled better today. At one point they said he looks like he could take a wicket every ball. He didn't need a freaky catch neither. Confidence. Doing pretty well in the chase now- just hope they leave enough runs for the supporters to enjoy tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobyBrno Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I said in the previous Test that I wouldn’t want any player to fail and that if Leach did then Parkinson would get his chance. Leach has been brilliant. Parky will have to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted June 26, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2022 All the pundits agreed parky was bowling too slow Hopefully, he can work on that Popes secure now for the winter, crawley and lees less so Lees gets til end of summer, crawley one more go, imo Interesting sangakarra suggest buttler should be next in line to open, but the fact they called up billings makes that seem even less likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s really keen on the idea. But like you thinks Crawley will get one more chance. However, with the India test match being a one-off, I’d take the gamble and see was Jos can do. He’s used to opening the batting in other formats. He’s exciting. And he’s currently one of the best cricketers in the world. What’s the risk? As Vaughan pointed out - our openers are getting out cheaply anyway, so what’s wrong with some experimenting - using a vastly experienced and skilful player - in the mould of Stokes, McCullum. No brainier for me, let’s give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
