Was there any doubt once Silverwood got full control of selection?
Great start
Genuinely cannot understand the tactical decisions being made by England.
Bat first without a spinner? Bat first against a side who maybe haven’t seen much swing or seam lately?
Overcast conditions at Trent Bridge with history’s most successful swing bowlers on your team? Obviously bat first.
No problem with batting first but if the pitch is good enough to do that then you really should be picking a spinner. India have left Ashwin out though!
Bumrah, Shami, Siraj is quite a tail
ROOOOOOT
Nice to see some proper strike rates after the crash bang wallop nonsense
This is the best weather they’ll have all match.
If Watson got a say in bowling reviews
I don’t suppose a lot of people stick on the Youtube highlights of Dom Sibley’s test career very often. His technique is… idiosyncratic.
Who’s on Shemilt watch today? I’ve had a scan through the BBC text commentary and there’s a disappointing lack of inane comments, it all looks fairly sensible but I could have missed something
When’s he getting bowled through the gate then
He’s got of the mark which makes a nice change
Was gonna do a poll about whether any of the top 3 would make over 30.
Hard to see it happening now
Imagine i did it and voted No
Jonny Bairstow
0 voters
All is as it should be
Excellent. He posted something earlier showing how many balls in FC cricket each England batsman had faced since the last Test against NZ. I don’t pay my licence fee to have informative content like that from Steph
