  • To say that Jennings looked all over the place is an understatement. It was just a matter of time.
  • He'll have been in the nets with Amir, Porter, and, erm, Matt Quinn. He'll be fine
  • Just in case no one saw the thread, I have a spare for tomorrow, see thread for details.

    Got to be dropped now - I was advocating leaving him out after the last Test & I've seen nothing in the 3 Tests (or the previous ones last year) that shows me he's going to score any runs - he's hardly got into double figures in this series.
  • I'm stranded in a soft play with reference only to cricinfo... Grateful for an opinion on how Westley looks. Im too big for this soft play, and it has nearly broken me

    Got to get Stoneman in now. Needs to play some proper opposition before the ashes rather than just the Windies.

  • from bbc - Three ducks in his Test career already for Keaton Jennings, in just nine innings

    Plus dropped on 0 in his innings when got his ton.
  • come on the Essex boys ((:>)
  • Soft play update - got stuck in a slide just like Augustus Gloop
  • From bbc text. Made me chuckle

    Look closely. Wrapped in the silver foil are four cans of lager. Some resourceful chap tried to pass his beer off as an innocent sandwich. Denied and binned. At £5.20 a pint, you can't blame him for trying.

  • He could at least have said they were Swiss rolls
  • I make it 9 bowling options in this side. A far cry from when Trott was our 5th bowler. He would be 10th bowler in this side.

    Broad Anderson TRJ Stokes and Ali as the main bowlers.

    Malan and Westley are both fairly regular part time spinners in the county game.

    Root has proven to have the golden arm at times for England.

    Jennings bowls useful seamers. He's been used as 5th bowler at lot for Durham and has even played t20 as a bowler before.

    I'd have shouted Allahu Akbar as the jobsworths tried to take them.
  • Pitch has a tinge of green. It looks good. Like there will be a bit of a battle between bat and ball. This is how it should be.

    Don't get how the groundsmans can produce pitches like this for the internationals but Surrey have had absolute shite pitches all year with nothing there for the bowlers.
  • Chucking it down in Victoria area at moment - reckon will hit Oval soon
  • off for rain - good shout MrOneLung.

  • Essex have done well this morning against South Africa.

    I thought Westley looked comfortable, far more so than Jennings and Ballance have been.

    (I now blame you, when he's out very quickly after lunch).
  • Haha and that's what happened

    You arse :wink:

  • Just caught up. Jesus Christ jenning's dismissal is awful. Something you'd be disappointed to get out to in club cricket
  • Christ our selectors are stubborn!

    Jennings has repeatedly proved he's a dud at this level, so what do our selectors do, give him another go and once again he's proved himself totally inadequate.

    No doubt he'll be in for the rest of the series and the West Indies too.

    I find it very difficult to understand top order batsmen who can't get into double figures. I'm inclined to believe nought is a disgrace!

    I do accept there are unplayable balls but has he got all of them?
  • Just caught up. Jesus Christ jenning's dismissal is awful. Something you'd be disappointed to get out to in club cricket

    Oh come on, that's absurd

    ...but it was a very passive innings and he didn't look like he'd score many
  • Jennings has had enough chances. Bye bye.

    Outside off stump, outside the corridor of uncertainty, played at it with a straight defensive shot and still edged it to the slips. Awful any way you look at it
  • Nah, it wasn't that wide. He could have left it but Philander was swinging them back as well. Wasn't a convincing shot but was good bowling
