19-0 off 2. India playing Bollywoodball.0

Rubbish review0
-
1 review gone after just 3 overs.
Spinner being hit for 6 from his first ball in just the 2nd over.
Go England !0 -
Shades of last time we debuted a Lancs SLA0
-
It seems we lost early wickets when spin was introduced.
Looks like India are doing the opposite against our spin.0 -
OMG the nerves really have got to Hartley. He's resorted to rank long hops as a result of the pressure applied by Jaiswal. Two overs for 25 to date. But as Rob Key was at pains to stress Hartley was a better option than Dawson.0
-
Could there have been a more expensive first 2 overs in Test cricket ?0
-
Why open with someone on their debut? It's a tough call even if he was the new Underwood.0
-
Bit like Charlton, we are shit.

Hartley and Rehan are, effectively, having to learn their craft playing Test cricket against the best players of spin in the world. But that's fine according to Key because wickets in the CC are worthless!2

Harsha Bhogle is absolutely unbearable. Smug prick3
-
To be fair to Stokes, Cook would not have given Hartley at third over. In fact, Cook wouldn't have ever bowled him again in international cricket. He might not get a fourth over given he has now gone for 34 and we are defending 2460
-
Just remember, we were 50/0 too !
Then they brought their spinners on. Perhaps we should take ours off ?0 -
He really is bogstandard. We're definitely seeing Bashir (who, I maintain, has a lot going for him, based on my own observations) next game1
-
It is quite bizarre that India are taking the game to us in the way that we were known for doing prior to this series. Whereas we went right into our shell and didn't exert any pressure 'til we were 8 down. It's almost as if some of our players, such as the debutant Hartley or Pope haven't played a game of cricket since last June and September respectively. Who needs to go to India a few weeks before the Test series and play some games eh Rob?0

Really highlighting how dim it was to not take Dawson.0

And brought our seamers back? Sorry Wood back to bowl from both ends.golfaddick said:Just remember, we were 50/0 too !

See my comments re Dawson. I suspect that, as he has never been given a proper chance and isn't centrally contracted, he's indicated that he's not prepared to be a bit part player on less money than he earns in the SA20 with more certainty too that he has a future career in franchise T20 than playing for England.Pelling1993 said:Really highlighting how dim it was to not take Dawson.
We've succeeded in creating a situation where we aren't producing experienced spinners and have had to turn to a couple that have barely 50 FC wickets between them.0 -
68-0 off 100
-
Yes it's a bunsen, but when your bowling strength is with your seamers rather than your spinners, surely England be better off with a more experienced and conventional attack?
The spinners are just cannon fodder anyway, would the likes of Robinson, Woakes, Sam Curran etc be any worse?0 -
Jaiswal reaches his 50 off 47 balls from another Hartley long hop0
-
Fair play to Stokes for persevering with Hartley who has bowled a couple of beauties in this over. One of those, unfortunately, has caused us to waste a second review inside a dozen overs.0
-
50 up for Hartley - with a dreaded no ball0
-
2 reviews gone and we are only in the 12th over.0
-
Now he's bowling no balls !!!
