199 all out so nil point. Our batting has been dreadful this year so wouldn't mind betting we're 30-5 at the close
I learnt today that they’re going to have the ‘Hundred’ as well as, not instead of, the T20 Blast. There won’t be time for anything else will there? County Championship in the winter?
We are batting. 49/1. Another solid 14 runs for Denly. Read a stat on ESPN that he had already played and missed 67 times this series before today. Class player.
Another 50 for Root but no century again. His conversation rate to turn 50s into 100s must be awful !
Some of the shots to get out have been awful. Burns, Stokes and Curran have got out in a stupid way. Root got another unplayable delivery but had been dropped three times! On a side note, I told You Yorkshire's batting was terrible @Keighley
What will happen is he'll either get a nick that is dropped or pop one up in the air between two fielders, and then he'll go and get his century/double hundred, triple hundred (delete as appropriate).
What is Joe Root in the team for? Can't bat, can't catch, can't captain. Shocking how far he's fallen.
It's just bizarre. He was our best player by some distance last summer. Not bad with the bat either...
The issue is you'd have too many bowlers if Stokes is fit to bowl. However given the fact our batsmen have done so poorly with hindsight he may have been a valid pick in place of Roy. Will be interesting when Anderson is fit as he seems to determined to continue. I always thought he'd hoped to retire after winning the ashes this summer but that didn't go to plan ! At present you'd have to say Woakes position is under threat. It's 2 out of the 4 of Anderson/Broad/Curran/Woakes unless they play no spinner. Broad seems to have come back from the dead this summer.
