Looking like a dreadful decision to bowl first. Oh god here comes that big score for Jennings0
-
I still can't understand how Stoneman was dropped so quickly, yet Jennings seemly is immune from the axe. I don't think Stoneman is great, but he's better than bloody Jennings..3
-
5-0 off 5.1 overs and now rain. On course to get s draw here if the rain sets in.0
-
Jennings out for8 - time for Joe D0

Sack the entire fucking selection panel4

They don't have an easy job with the top order, I mean there just seems to be nobody out there.blackpool72 said:

But for the most part I agree, we wouldn't have been any worse opening with Woakes or Curran who can bowl aswell.0 -
Burns completely done by a straight one there, weird shot. Anyway the Test begins here0
-
Denly done by a straight one too! Actually that one came back in a bit, good nut. The Test really does begin here haha0
-
Buttler completely getting away with one there, Bravo tipping it out of Hetmyer's hands. Is he really a Test-class middle-order batsman?0

I...wow.0

I have a feeling Burns 29 May be the top score in this innings.0

Thought that was a good knock from Jennings....by his standards5

There is a CAFC badge on a flag alongside a Chelsea badge. Anyone on here?0

Well there you are! Serious senior management issue here. Bairstow did this last summer too against India and threw his toys out. With our lack of class batting we need the senior batsmen who are Bairstow and Root to do what is right for the team. They must bat 3 and 4, ideally Root at 3.Addick Addict said:Riviera said:Why not keep Bairstow at 3 and let Buttler keep?Bairstow wants to keep and had the raving hump when they gave the gloves to Foakes. He would rather keep and bat at 7 than bat at 3 and not keep. Buttler isn't good enough at Test level either imo and I suspect in the eyes of the selectors.
England and the modern game as a whole has lost all respect for the position of wicket keeper. Bairstow is not massively better than Buttler with the gloves or Buttler is not massively worse than Bairstow which ever way you want to look at it. So Bairstow must be told to concentrate on his batting and forget keeping. If we are not going to play our best keeper than give it to Buttler and bat him at 7.
Bizarrely as it may seem, in the situation we are in on this tour it could be argued to have played Foakes as a batsman instead of Jennings with Buttler keeping.0 -
But if the captain won't do it than he must be made to become one, for now at least.killerandflash said:

It was weird - for Test cricket but I suspect that he works balls through midwicket all the time from outside the off side in one day cricket against bowlers who are delivering at 75mph. Equally, Jennings probably throws his hands all the time in county cricket at that pace without moving his feet and gets away with it.Leuth said:Burns completely done by a straight one there, weird shot.

And there is the answer why we can't find Test openers.

Stokes, after an increasingly assured innings, out to a freak c&b. Now for the vaunted lower-middle order...0
-
Oh it's given as a no-ball! Ridiculous0

Never been a fan of TalkSport but I must concede they are knocking spots off TMS this winter. They talk about cricket. No stupid Public Schoolboy sniggering. No unfunny wind-ups. No flippant, facetious comments and above all no Graeme Swann.2

England probably got enough for 300-400 here. Given the flimsy nature of Test cricket, expect the WI all out for 200 or so, and England to bat anew with a healthy lead. Up fucking steps Keaton Jennings, just when absolutely nobody wants him5
-
I don't know him. There are one or two voices I don't recognise. I'm not saying it's perfect but I like it being far more cricket oriented rather than the TMS Laugh-in. Much better features during the breaks too instead of the BBC box ticking interviews.Leuth said:

The frustrating thing is that Foakes might not get another chance in the Ashes even with Jennings not in the side because someone else will open and Denly will stay at 3.
Good batsmen can bat anywhere - and Root (although out of form) and Bairstow are good batsmen - and it is purely self preservation on their part that both are dictating when they come in.

Well that is why the likes of Giles, Smith and Bayliss need to start doing their jobs.Addick Addict said:The frustrating thing is that Foakes might not get another chance in the Ashes even with Jennings not in the side because someone else will open and Denly will stay at 3.

****WARNING**** Pre-digital age joke.
Someone needs to get those negatives back off of Jennings...
